1.5 Measuring principle
• Like canoes crossing a river, acoustic signals are transmitted and received along a diagonal
measuring path.
• A sound wave going downstream with the flow travels faster than a sound wave going
upstream against the flow.
• The difference in transit time is directly proportional to the mean flow velocity of the medium.
