    摘要: A mass flow meter provides improved accuracy in measuring the mass flow rate of a fluid flowing through a straight measuring tube. The as measured mass flow rate value is changed by parameters such as the Young's modules, second moment of area, length, axial force, etc. of the measuring tube. The parameters change with the strain caused in the axial direction of the measuring tube. A strain sensor is installed on a measuring tube, and the as measured mass flow rate is corrected based on the output of the strain sensor. Since the strain affects in a different way the substantial mass flow rate and the zero point offset, the correction is conducted separately on the substantial mass flow rate and on the zero point offset so that the accuracy of measurement may be improved. Since the parameters change also with the temperature of the measuring tube, a temperature sensor is also installed on the measuring tube so that the accuracy of measurement may be further improved.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for measuring a flow velocity profile of fluid traveling in a pipe or conduit uses an ultrasonic wave transmitted from an ultrasonic wave transducer mounted at an angle on the outside of a pipe using a wedge, and made incident onto the fluid in the pipe to measure the fluid flow velocity profile, using the principle that a frequency of an ultrasonic wave, reflected by a reflector existing in the fluid, is changed depending on a flow velocity due to Doppler effect. The transmission frequency and the angle of incidence onto the pipe can be selected to suppress frequency dependence of a measured value due to Lamb wave and allow the flow velocity or flow rate of fluid to be measured with a greater accuracy.

    摘要: A Coriolis mass flowmeter includes a housing which contains at least one measuring pipe, a supporting mechanism connected to both ends of the measuring pipe, a vibration generator which vibrates the measuring pipe, at least two sensors for detecting the vibration of the measuring pipe, an inlet conduit which introduces a fluid to be measured into the measuring pipe and an outlet conduit which discharges the fluid out of the measuring pipe. A Corioli vibration is applied to the measuring pipe which generates a Coriolis force in the fluid flowing in the measuring pipe. The Coriolis force is utilized for the measurement of the flow rate of the fluid. The Coriolis vibration has a frequency higher than the principal natural frequency of the supporting mechanism, i.e., in an inertial control region. The mass flowmeter is of a simple structure and lightweight, minimizes leakage of the energy of vibration to the outside, and has a high mechanical Q value.

    摘要: The reliability of a reception wave from a transducer is checked and when the reliability is determined to be insufficient, a method different from the current method is selected. The reliability is judged by calculating a value serving as an index of the reliability of the reception wave and checking whether the value is smaller than a predetermined set value. When the value is smaller than the set value, the reliability is judged to be insufficient. The values serving as an index of the reliability of the reception wave may be the amplitude of the reception wave, the ratio of the amplitude of the reception wave against a predetermined measurable amplitude value, the ratio of the power spectrum against a predetermined power value, the ratio of transmission wave amplitude against the maximum amplitude of the reception wave, the ratio of the power spectrum of the transmission frequency included in the reception wave and obtained by Fourier transform of the reception wave against a predetermined power value, and the like.

    摘要: It is an object to provide an ultrasonic flow amount measuring device in which a direction and position of a transducer can be accurately fixed, thereby improving workability such as a reduction in working time. In order to attain the object, ultrasonic transducers 20 are fixed with a proper interval therebetween using a positioning portion 41 attached to a positioning frame 40. The position adjustment of the wave transducer 20 is automatically carried out through a positioning spring 25b and the positioning portion 41. A guide frame 30 can be mounted at a proper position on a conduit pipe 10 irrespective of the installation of the wave transducer. The guide frame 30 is mounted without paying attention to an interval between the ultrasonic transducers and coating an acoustic coupling medium on the conduit pipe, so that selection of a setup place, etc. can be freely performed. After pre-assembly, the required acoustic coupling medium is coated on the wave ultrasonic transducers, and the positioning frame 40 is attached to the guide frame 30, so that the right directions and positions can be applied to the wave ultrasonic transducers.
