2.1 Measuring principle
The FLOWSIC600-XT measuring system works according to the principle of ultrasonic tran-
sit time difference measurement. This allows conclusions to be made on the gas volume
flowing through based on the sound velocity transfer time. Measurement is carried out in a
direct path layout to keep disturbing effects such as gas flow turbulence, dirt, moisture or
interfering noises as low as possible. Two ultrasonic transducers are positioned opposite
each other in a defined angle to the gas flow and operate alternately as sender and
receiver.
