Abstract
1,274,214. Acoustic measurement of fluid flow. GOAL INDUSTRY (PATENTS). Ltd. 12 Dec., 1969 [16 Dec., 1968], No. 59716/68. Heading H4D. In a method orapparatus for measuring acoustically the rate of flow of gas in a pipe by obtaining signals dependent on the phase difference between the outputs of upstream and downstream ultrasonic receivers 10, 11 and (to allow for the velocity of sound in the gas) on the phase difference between the outputs of a receiver 27 in a path perpendicular to the direction of gas flow, the path length of the signal to receiver 27 is altered by a known amount. In the embodiment a reflector 25 is moved a known distance to give the phase difference from receiver 27. The phase differences are given by signal travel time differences. The transducers are directional and magnetostrictive end transmitters 1, 2 are each secured to phosphorbronze balls (8, Fig. 2, not shown) pivoted in the wall of the pipe. Any misalignment of transmitters 1, 2 or receivers 10, 11 is allowed for by adjustment of phase shifters 17. Zero-crossing detectors change the signals to constantamplitude and a gate 20 produces a train of pulses of width dependent on the time during which both of its input signals are positive; the integrated gate output is applied to a voltmeter 23. to afford a direct measure of the requisite phase difference. A binary counter 42 is utilized to obtain a measure of the phase difference of the receiver 27 before and after movement of reflector 25 by actuator 26. Stray waves reflected by the pipe wall are absorbed by rubber. Each of receivers. 10, 11 may be on the same or opposite sides of the pipe as their respective transmitters. The transmitted waves may be pulse modulated, or A.M. or F.M. continuous waves; the carrier frequency is preferably greater than 20 kHz but not so great as to lead to undue attenuation. The invention is particularly used when solid particles are suspended in the gas; if the concentration of the particles is known, e.g. by measuring the attenuation of #-particles as in Specification 1,274,213 (Division G1), the mass particle flow can be determined.
