Distance Calculation
To calculate the transducer to material level (object) distance, the
transmission
medium
(atmosphere) sound velocity (P653) is multiplied by the acoustic
transmission to reception time period. The result (round trip distance) is divided by 2.
Distance = Sound Velocity x Time
2
The Reading Value displayed is the result of performing any additional modification to
the calculated distance (Operation P001, Units P005, Volume Conversion, P050 to
P054, Reading Value, P060 to P063.)
Sound Velocity
The sound velocity of the transmission medium is affected by the type, temperature,
and vapour pressure of the gas or vapour present. As preset, the SPL assumes the
vessel atmosphere is air at 20°C (68°F). Unless altered, the sound velocity used for
the distance calculation is 344.1 m/s (1129 ft/s).
Variable air temperature is automatically compensated when a Milltronics
ultrasonic/temperature transducer is used. If the transducer is exposed to direct
sunlight a TS-3 temperature sensor should be used.
Also, if the temperature varies between the transducer face and the object monitored,
a TS-3 temperature sensor, mounted near the material surface (solids) or submerged
(liquids), should be used in combination with the ultrasonic/temperature transducer.
Then when Temp Source, (P660) is set for "both", the transducer and TS-3
temperature measurements are averaged.
Atmosphere composition other than air can pose a challenge for ultrasonic level
measurement. However, excellent results may be obtained if the atmosphere is
homogeneous
(well mixed), at a fixed temperature, and consistent vapour pressure,
by performing a Sound Velocity Calibration (P651).
