Abstract:
A measurement method comprising: transmitting a plurality of ultrasonic signals to the fluid to be measured; receiving an return signal reflected or scattered from the particles in the fluid under test; calculating a one or more calculated values of the R parameter associated with the particle properties based on the return signal; determining the theoretical curve of the R parameter associated with the particle properties; and determining the mean diameter of the particles in the fluid based on the one or more calculated values of the R parameter and the theoretical curve of the R parameter; determining the mass concentration of the particles in the fluid according to the mean diameter of the particles. Embodiments also provide a measurement system for measuring the mean diameter and mass concentration of the particles.
Abstract:
An ultrasonic signal transmitting and receiving circuit assembly includes first and second transmitter circuits, first and second receiver circuits, and first and second poles each for coupling with an ultrasonic transducer. The ultrasonic signal transmitting and receiving circuit assembly further includes a switching circuit having a first switch for selectively connecting the first transmitter and receiver circuits to the first or second pole, and a second switch for selectively connecting the second transmitter and receiver circuits to the first or second pole.
