3.2.2 Measurement principle
Swimming against the current requires more strength than
swimming with the current. The ultrasonic flow measurement
in accordance with the phase differential method is based on
this simple physical fact:
Two sensors opposite each other alternately send and receive
ultrasonic signals. With a standing medium, both sensors re-
ceive the sent ultrasonic signals within the same phase, i.e.
no difference in phase occurs. With a flowing medium, a
phase shift takes place. When measured in the direction of
flow, it is different than when measuring against the direction
of flow. This phase difference is directly proportional to the
flow velocity. The flow volume is determined from the flow ve-
locity and the known pipe diameter.
