Transit Time This method Method. uses the difference Basically, in propagation this methods time between measures the ultrasonic difference pulses in propagation transmitted time along between and against ultrasonic the flow pulses from transmitted A to B and along B to A. and against the The flow average between flow A velocity and B, T AB and V AB T along AB is proportional BA respectively. The to (T average BA -T AB flow ). velocity V AB along AB is proportional to to ( T BA -T AB ). Protected Design The FH85 multi-path ultrasonic flowmeter is the only flowmeter that integrates 36 transducers generating 18 ultrasonic beams, providing a complete 3D view of the flow velocity profile. A Fully Integrated Electronics Tri-dimensional Transducer Thanks to a powerful integrated processing unit (using leading-edge digital technology), the FH85 offers an integrated and compact metering solution. The Flow Velocity Profile Compensation The average speed measured along the ultrasonic propagation path depends on the flow velocity profile. The FAURE HERMAN ultrasonic technology provides detailed information on the flow velocity profile. An accurate measurement of the flowrate can be achieved by rebuilding the whole flow velocity profile across the pipe.

FH85 FHview Communication Software I/O setting This screen gives access to the configuration of the analogue 4-2 ma inputs and outputs. Users can allocate one parameter, for example flowrate or VOS (Velocity of Sound), to each of them and adjust the operating range. The FHview Software FHview is the PC software for the configuration and operation of the FAURE HERMAN FH8 ultrasonic product line. The FH8 product line includes ultrasonic flowmeters for both fiscal and process applications. The communication between FHview and the FH8 uses MODBUS protocol via a RS485 serial link. Global parameters display This screen provides instantaneous information on the FH85 flow conditions such as gross flowrate, average VOS, etc. In addition, users get data relating to the operating status of meter, number of working beams, alarms, and average ultrasonic signal level. Measurement integrity This screen gives all necessary parameters relating to the 18 ultrasonic paths, VOF (Velocity of Flow), VOS and signal gain. These data allow the user to check the measurement integrity on each single beam. 3D Profile of Velocities Graph visualisation A range of functionalities is available to track and view average VOF, VOS and signal gain over time. Example of reconstruction of a 3D profile of Velocities using FH85 ultrasonic 18 paths. Data and events loggers Users can download and record data from the flowmeter with respect to the previously defined period of time. These data relate to the flowmeter parameters. Dated events such as alarms can be downloaded and recorded.
Remote Control and Local Display Number of operating beams Global parameters display Velocity of sound Totalizer Flowrate The unique intrinsically safe infrared remote control allows for noncontact communication and adjustment of display parameters and access to various configuration levels, and alarms management based on preset security levels. Local display The local display provides nonfiscal information about the flow conditions, flowrate, totalizer, VOS, etc. The display units can be modified by using either the configuration software or the infrared remote control.
