Flow Profile Compensation
Another important consideration is that the ultrasonic flowmeter has to compensate for the
flow profile to maintain calibration accuracy. Shown below is a graphic of a "fully-developed"
flow profile. Note that the fluid velocity increases toward the center (axis) of the flow stream.
①
Fluid velocity near the axis of the flow stream tends to be greater.
The Reynolds number is then computed as follows:
where viscosity = cS = cP/density
cS = kinematic viscosity
cP = absolute viscosity
The flowmeter then uses this computation of Reynolds number to compensate the raw flow
velocity for conditions of laminar or turbulent flow profile as defined by an internal Reynolds
compensation table. The flowmeter then converts the compensated flow velocity to volumetric
flow rate.
Rate = V
