Temperature Measurement
SonoPro
®
Flow Meters can use either an external 1000-ohm platinum re-
sistance temperature detector (PRTD) or an external temperature transmit-
ter (pending VorTek Instruments, LLC is consulted with prior) to measure
transducer temperature and to adjust for changes in the speed of sound due
to temperature changes.
Flow Meter Configurations
SonoPro
®
Ultrasonic Flow Meters are available with different
transducer frequencies for a wide variety of applications. Typi-
cal pipe sizes for each transducer type is listed below.
•
2 MHz transducers – 1/2 ” (15mm) pipe to 6 ” (150mm) pipe typical
•
1 MHz transducers – 2” (50mm) pipe to 20 ” (500mm) pipe typical
•
.5 MHz transducers – 12” (300mm) pipe to 200 ” (5000mm) pipe
typical
Installation and startup are covered in the following chapters.
Multivariable Options
The SonoPro
®
meter is available with the following options:
V, volumetric flowmeter; VER velocity and external RTD; VET velocity
and external temperature transmitter (pending VorTek Instruments, LLC
is consulted with prior); VERER, velocity, two external RTDs.
Line Size / Materials
The SonoPro
®
meter can be applied to line sizes from ½-inch (15mm) to
200-inch (5000mm), in a variety of materials and liners. The SonoPro®
meter comes preloaded with 22 pipe materials and six liner materials. If
the preloaded selections do not cover the intended application, a new
pipe or liner material can be entered pending the speed of sound of the
material is known.
Flow Meter Electronics
The SonoPro
®
Flow Meter electronics housing may be used indoors or
outdoors, including wet environments. Available input power options are
battery powered, or AC powered. Two analog output signals are availa-
ble to output any of the five process variables: mass flow rate, volumetric
flow rate, energy flow rate, temperature, or fluid density. A pulse output
signal for remote totalization and a scalable frequency output are also
available.
Flow Meters include a local 2 x 16-character LCD display housed within
the enclosure. Local operation and reconfiguration are accomplished us-
ing a tactile keypad.
