TFXL-X
PART 1 - INTRODUCTION
The TFXL ultrasonic flow meter is designed to measure the fluid
velocity of liquid within a closed conduit. The transducers are a non-
contacting, clamp-on or clamp-around type, which will provide
benefits of non-fouling operation and ease of installation.
TFXL transit time flow meters
utilize two transducers that
function as both ultrasonic
transmitters and receivers. DTTN
and DTTH transducers are
clamped on the outside of a
closed pipe at a specific distance
from each other. The transducers
can be mounted in
V-Mount
where the sound transverses the pipe
two times,
W-Mount
where the sound transverses the pipe four
times, or in
Z-Mount
where the transducers are mounted on
opposite sides of the pipe and the sound crosses the pipe once.
This selection is based on pipe and liquid characteristics.
DTTS and DTTC (small pipe transducers) have both transmit and
receive crystals imbedded in a single clamp-around transducer so
no measurement between transducers is required.
The flow meter operates by alternately transmitting and receiving a
frequency modulated burst of sound energy between the two
transducers and measuring the time interval that it takes for sound
to travel between the two transducers. The difference in the time
interval measured is directly related to the velocity of the liquid in the
pipe.
The TFXL flow meter can be successfully applied on a wide range
of metering applications. The simple-to-program transmitter allows
the standard product to be used on pipe sizes ranging from ½ inch
(12 mm) and larger. (Transducer sets from ½ to 1-½ inch and 2 inch
tubing require 2 MHz transmitters and dedicated pipe transducers.)
A variety of liquid applications can be accommodated.
Because the transducers are non-contacting and have no moving
parts, the flow meter is not affected by system pressure, fouling or
wear. The DTTN transducer set is rated to a pipe surface
temperature of 250 °F (121 °C). High temperature DTTH transducers
can operate to a pipe surface temperature of 350 °F (177 °C). The
