This measuring principle offers the advantage that it is independent of variations in the actual
sound velocity of the liquid, i.e. independent of the temperature.
The proportional flow factor K is determined by wet calibration or calculated by "Auto" in
case of manual programming of mechanical/geometrical pipe data (SONOKIT only). The
transducer angle (θ), distance between sensors (L) and pipe dimension (D
i
and D
u
) are
shown in the figure below.

Measuring principle
The ultrasonic signal is sent directly between the transducers. The advantage gained
sending signals from point to point is an extremely good signal strength.
