Calibration DISCUSSION Introduction The invention of the ultrasonic flowmeter can be traced back to 1963 when Tokyo Keiki, a Japanese company, first commercialized this type of flowmeter. Almost a decade later, Controlotron (now part of Siemens) was the first American company to manufacture ultrasonic flowmeters. It was not until recently that manufacturers were able to overcome the main challenges of ultrasonic flow measurement and make affordable and reliable ultrasonic flowmeters. Ultrasonic flowmeters are available in two types: transit-time measurement and Doppler effect. Transit-time flowmeters measure the fluid velocity by comparing the downstream and upstream traveling times; the time difference between the two is proportional to the average fluid velocity. Doppler effect flowmeters measure the fluid velocity from the ultrasonic waves reflected back from bubbles or particles in suspension in the liquid. The disadvantage of this method is that the ultrasonic waves need something to reflect upon; hence, this flow measurement method is not suitable for clean water. In the following section, we will concentrate on the transit-time flow measurement method, which is ideal for acoustically transparent liquids. How an ultrasonic flowmeter works Below is a description of the time-transit method, which is one of the two measurement methods behind ultrasonic flowmeters. The different setups for the Festo Didactic
2 Exercise 1 Fundamentals of the Ultrasonic Flowmeter Discussion sensors and the electronic corrections available for most ultrasonic flow transmitters are also discussed. Transit-time flowmeters The basic principle behind transit-time flowmeters is simple: two ultrasonic energy pulses traverse diagonally through a pipe in opposite directions, with one pulse transmitted downstream (with the flow) and one pulse transmitted upstream (against the flow), as shown in Figure 1. The flowmeter measures the transit-time for both pulses, that is, the time it takes for the pulses to get from one sensor to the other. The flowmeter then computes the average velocity of the fluid from the difference between the two transit-times. Upstream signal Transducer B Flow Transducer A Downstream signal Figure 1. Transit-time flowmeter principle. To operate correctly, transit-time ultrasonic flowmeters require that the process fluid is transparent to ultrasonic waves and devoid of air bubbles or particles that can reflect or attenuate ultrasonic waves. A sound wave traveling in a moving fluid tends to be carried along with the flow. Therefore, an ultrasonic pulse traveling downstream travels faster than a pulse traveling upstream. Figure 2 shows that the flow direction of the fluid (moving at an average velocity ) is at an angle with the ultrasonic signal path. Depending on whether the ultrasonic signal is travelling upstream (Figure 2a) or downstream (Figure 2b), the portion of the fluid velocity parallel to the ultrasonic signal path is added or subtracted from the sound velocity. (a) (b) Figure 2. Transit time for the a) upstream signal and b) downstream signal. 2 Festo Didactic
3 Exercise 1 Fundamentals of the Ultrasonic Flowmeter Discussion Figure 3 shows how the velocity of the fluid influences the velocity of the ultrasonic pulse. For the ultrasonic pulse traveling downstream (Figure 3a), the velocity of the fluid contributes positively to the overall speed of the pulse. Since the two transducers are at an angle, the contribution of fluid velocity to the ultrasonic pulse velocity is. For the ultrasonic pulse travelling upstream (Figure 3b), the velocity of the fluid reduces the overall speed of the pulse by. Note that the vectors are not to scale. The length of is greatly exaggerated so that the principle can be illustrated clearly. In general, the fluid velocity is much smaller than the speed of sound. (a) (b) Figure 3. Contribution of fluid velocity to the speed of ultrasound pulse. Knowing this, it is easy to calculate the time it takes for an ultrasonic pulse to travel downstream for the distance between transducer A and transducer B. The pulse transit-time from A to B is simply the distance divided by the pulse velocity. It is expressed as follows: (1) where is the transit time for the ultrasonic pulse to travel the distance is the distance between the two transducers is the speed of sound is the average fluid velocity is the angle between the ultrasonic pulse path and the pipe axis An ultrasonic pulse travelling upstream is slowed by the fluid flow. The transit time from transducer B to transducer A can be calculated using an equation similar to the one used for a downstream pulse, except that the contribution of the fluid flow must be subtracted from the sound velocity instead of added. Equation (2) gives the transit time for an ultrasonic pulse traveling upstream. (2) Festo Didactic
4 Exercise 1 Fundamentals of the Ultrasonic Flowmeter Discussion Combining Equation (1) and Equation (2) allows the time difference between the two transit times to be expressed as follows: (3) This relation can be simplified further as detailed below: Since, we have ; therefore can be neglected compared to and the time difference can be approximated as: (4) Using Equation (4) we find that the average velocity of the fluid is: (5) Following steps similar to those presented above, it can be shown that the average transit-time is: (6) Thus, Equation (5) can be simplified as: (7) An important corollary of Equation (7) is that the measure of the fluid velocity using an ultrasonic flowmeter is independent of the speed of sound. This means that measurements made with an ultrasonic flowmeter are independent of the fluid temperature and pressure, which is an important advantage for several applications. Frequency-difference measurement Another way to analyze what is going on in an ultrasonic flowmeter is to look at the frequency difference between the upstream and downstream pulses. The 4 Festo Didactic
5 Exercise 1 Fundamentals of the Ultrasonic Flowmeter Discussion frequency for each of the two pulses is the reciprocal of their respective transit time. That is: and (8) The frequency difference is expressed in Equation (9). (9) Thus, the average velocity of the process fluid is: (10) Both Equation (7) and Equation (10) are independent of temperature, pressure, density, and viscosity. Once the average velocity of the process fluid is known, the flow rate can be easily calculated using the cross-sectional area of the pipe: (11) where is the flow rate is the average fluid velocity is the cross-sectional area of the pipe Reynolds-number correction The distribution of the local velocities varies according to the average velocity of the fluid in a pipe. The form that the distribution of the velocities takes is called the flow profile. Figure 4 shows a laminar profile and a turbulent flow profile, which are the two main types of flow profiles for a fluid in a pipe. A turbulent flow (Figure 4a) has an almost flat velocity profile while a laminar flow (Figure 4b) has a velocity profile with a bump since the distribution of the velocities is not uniform. Therefore, with a laminar profile, the ultrasonic pulse velocity varies along its path between the two transducers, depending on the local fluid velocity. Laminar flow occurs at a low flow rate. To determine if a flow is turbulent or laminar, the Reynolds number must be calculated. If the Reynolds number is greater than 4000, the flow is turbulent. A Reynolds number below 4000 means the flow is either transitional (a mix between laminar and turbulent) or laminar (below 2000). Festo Didactic
6 Exercise 1 Fundamentals of the Ultrasonic Flowmeter Discussion (a) Figure 4. Shape of the different velocity profiles. To tackle the problem caused by the variation of the flow profile, many ultrasonic flowmeters include a Reynolds-number correction mechanism. This usually involves multiple ultrasonic measurement beams coupled with an algorithm that matches the measurements with a flow profile to make the required corrections for determining the average flow rate of the fluid. c (b) For details on the calculation of the Reynolds number or on the different types of flows, refer to the Measurement manual. Construction and installation The transducers of an ultrasonic flowmeter are either housed in a pipe section with flanged ends or installed on a clamp-on system, allowing them to fit on a wide range of pipe diameters. The ultrasonic pulses are generated and detected by the transducers using piezoelectric crystals. Piezoelectric material, mainly crystals and some ceramics, has the peculiar ability to generate an electric signal when subjected to a mechanical stress such as vibration. The beauty of piezoelectricity is that it also works the other way around! That is, if an electric signal is applied to a piezoelectric material, it responds by vibrating at its resonant frequency. For small pipe diameters, the transit time is short since the traveled distance between the two transducers is small. Too small a travel distance produces inaccurate and sometimes unusable signals. Using one of the multiple traverses installations described below can correct this problem. One, two, and four traverses For small pipelines, it is possible to amplify the time difference between the two transit times by increasing the distance the ultrasonic pulse has to cross. This is done by making the pulse bounce one or more times on the pipe walls. Figure 5a shows a one traverse installation where the signal goes directly from one transducer to the other, Figure 5b shows a two traverses installation where the signal bounces once on the pipe walls before being detected, and finally, Figure 5c shows a four traverses installation where the signal bounce three times and the crossed distance is multiplied by four compared to a one traverse installation. 6 Festo Didactic
7 Exercise 1 Fundamentals of the Ultrasonic Flowmeter Discussion 45 (a) (b) (c) Figure 5. One, two, and four traverses. Characteristics of ultrasonic flowmeters Ultrasonic flowmeters are useful for clean water applications. They are particularly useful for applications where the flowmeter cannot come into contact with the process fluid, either because it is installed on an existing installation or because it can contaminate or disturb the process fluid. Advantages and limitations Below is a list of some of the advantages and limitations of time-transit flowmeters. Some of these advantages and limitations, but not all, also apply to Doppler flowmeters which also use ultrasound to measure flow rate. Can be used on large diameter pipes Cause no obstruction or pressure drop Not affected by changes in the liquid temperature, viscosity, density, or pressure Easy to install using clamp-on sensors Can be installed on an existing installation Can measure null, laminar, transitional, and turbulent flows Festo Didactic
8 Exercise 1 Fundamentals of the Ultrasonic Flowmeter Discussion Can measure nonconductive fluids No moving parts Long operating life No risk of process contamination Work well for nonconductive fluids or ultra-pure water Notwithstanding these numerous advantages, ultrasonic flowmeters using the time-transit method have the following limitations and disadvantages: Subject to interference from the pipe wall Cannot be used for dirty or particulate-laden fluids Bubbles in the fluid or air between the fluid and the pipe wall affect accuracy and repeatability The fluid must be acoustically transparent The signal can be attenuated by concrete, fiberglass, or plastic-lined pipes Accuracy depends on the flow profile Expensive Can be used only in limited applications Build-up in pipes can cause reading errors Industrial applications The limitations of ultrasonic flowmeters restrict their use to a small range of applications. Nonetheless, they are extremely useful in this well-defined niche. Some of the applications where ultrasonic flowmeters are likely to be used are listed below: Clean fluid measurement (water, natural gas, liquefied gases) Clean water in water treatment plants Hot and cold water supply in commercial or public buildings Pure and ultra-pure water in semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and food industries Acid flow measurement in the chemical industry Acoustically transparent crude oil Cryogenic liquids Description of the supplied ultrasonic flowmeter The ultrasonic flow transmitter (Model 46927) is shown in Figure 6. It consists of a transmitter with two sensors that can be mounted on a transparent pipe using the preinstalled sensor holders affixed with tensioning bands. The transparent pipe is installed on a bracket for mounting on the process workstation, while the bracket of the transmitter allows it to be secured on the instrumentation mounting pipe.

11 Exercise 1 Fundamentals of the Ultrasonic Flowmeter Discussion The following equipment and tools are required to install the ultrasonic flowmeter on the instrumentation workstation: Ultrasonic flowmeter Spring nuts and bolts for fixation to the support strut Ratchet with a ½ in. socket or an equivalent wrench Mounting rail Adjustable wrench Screw driver Coupling fluid Installation procedure The ultrasonic flowmeter has two main components, the transmitter and the pipe/sensors assembly. The transmitter is designed to be installed on the instrumentation mounting pipe of the process workstation, while the pipe with the sensors must be installed horizontally on one of the struts of the process workstation. The ultrasonic flowmeter is a delicate instrument and it must be carefully installed as described in the procedure below. Even if the sensor holders are preinstalled, you may have to remove them for maintenance or pedagogical reasons. This procedure describes how to install the ultrasonic transmitter, including how to correctly install the sensor holders. 1.

18 Exercise 1 Fundamentals of the Ultrasonic Flowmeter Procedure Commissioning the ultrasonic flow transmitter a Note: The following procedure assumes you are using the display to program the transmitter. If you want to configure your transmitter from a computer, you can do so by accessing the same menus and inputting the same values in the appropriate fields of the FieldCare software. Please refer to either the HART Device Configuration manual (P/N 86050) or the Foundation Fieldbus Device Configuration manual (P/N 86002) for more information on how to connect your transmitter to a computer. Enabling programming mode (access code) In many plant applications, it is crucial to the process that the settings of transmitters remain unchanged unless authorized. To avoid inadvertent changes to their settings, most devices provide the option of protecting their settings using a numerical code. The ultrasonic flow transmitter has such a protection system and requires that the user enter a numerical code to enable the programming mode. The programming mode is disabled automatically at boot or if no key has been pressed within 60 seconds. If the programming mode is disabled and you try to change a protected setting, the transmitter prompts you to enter the ACCESS CODE. ACCESS CODE *** 10. The default access code is 91. Use the + and buttons to select the digits, and the E button to confirm. This allows you to enter the code to enable the programming mode. You must input the symbol to conclude this step. ACCESS CODE 91 * 11. Once the correct access code is entered, the transmitter displays a message that indicates that the programming mode is enabled. PROGRAMMING ENABLED Changing the transmitter units 12. You may wish to change the default units used by the transmitter. To do so, press the E button to access the GROUP SELECT menu and use the + and buttons to select the SYSTEM UNITS function group. Press the E button once to access the group. 13. From the SYSTEM UNITS group, use the + and buttons to navigate through the available settings of each parameter. Press the E button to confirm each selection and go to the next parameter. Each time a parameter is set, the transmitter confirms the modification by displaying: ENTRY STORED. 18 Festo Didactic
19 Exercise 1 Fundamentals of the Ultrasonic Flowmeter Procedure 14. Once the units are configured, the transmitter displays SETUP COMPLETE. Press ESC to return to the main display. Commissioning 15. Before you can use the ultrasonic flow transmitter, several parameters must be configured correctly. The easiest way to configure the transmitter is via the SETUP function, which allows configuring most of the parameters that are mandatory for a successful setup. Press the E button to access the GROUP SELECT menu and use the + and buttons to select the SENSOR SETUP function group. Press the E button once to access the group. 16. From the SENSOR SETUP group, use the + and buttons to select the SETUP function. Press the E button once to access the function parameters. 17. The SETUP function consists of a series of parameters which must be set for the transmitter to work correctly. Use the + and buttons to navigate through the available settings of each parameter and set the parameter values as indicated in Table 3. Press the E button to confirm each selection and go to the next parameter. Each time a parameter is set, the transmitter confirms this by displaying: ENTRY STORED. Table 3. etup commissioning.

Once the setup commissioning is completed, the transmitter displays SETUP COMPLETE. Press ESC to return to the main display. 19. There is one last parameter that must be configured to make the transmitter operational, it is the FLOW DAMPING parameter. This parameter filters the noise in the process variable and prevents the transmitter output from varying erratically due to local perturbations in the flow rate. Essentially, the transmitter damping function acts as a low-pass filter allowing only the relevant information to go through while discarding noise. To access the FLOW DAMPING parameter, press the E button to access the GROUP SELECT menu and use the + and buttons to select the SYSTEM PARAMETER function group. Press the E button once to access the group. 20. Set the parameters of the SYSTEM PARAMETER group to the value given in Table 4. Table 4. System parameters.
