Selection of the Measurement Arrangement Taking into Account the Measuring
Range and the Measuring Conditions
Diagonal arrangement with 1 beam
Reflection arrangement with 1 beam
• wider flow velocity and sound speed range compared to
the reflection arrangement
• use in the presence of deposits on the inner pipe wall or
with strongly attenuating gases or liquids (due to 1 sound
path)
• smaller flow velocity and sound speed range compared to
the diagonal arrangement
• transverse flow effects are compensated for because the
beam crosses the pipe in 2 directions
• higher accuracy of measurement because the accuracy
increases with the number of sound paths
Diagonal arrangement with 2 beams
Reflection arrangement with 2 beams and 2 planes
• same characteristics as reflection arrangement with 2
beams
• additional characteristic:
influences of the flow profile are compensated due to
measurement takes place in 2 planes
• same characteristics as diagonal arrangement with 1
beam
• additional characteristic:
transverse flow effects are compensated due to measure-
ment is conducted with 2 beams
