FlowPulse Flow Sensor and Flow Monitor
1 / 4Pages

FLOWPULSE SENSOR Non-invasive clamp-on flow monitor FlowPulse delivers reliable results across an amazing range of pipe materials and sizes. FlowPulse is a major leap forward in flow measurement, with no need to break into a pipe, reducing the need for expensive installation costs and downtime to the process. The sensor simply clamps to the outside of a pipe and provides reliable, repeatable flow monitoring straight away. Virtually no installation costs, no interruption to service, clean and simple. FlowPulse is simply fixed in place by a band with a screwdriver. A silicone coupling pad makes sure that the FlowPulse makes good acoustic contact with the pipe. Technology & Features FlowPulse uses a novel spread spectrum analysis technique, incorporating new Digital Signal Processing (DSP) that gives exceptional repeatability. The sensor produces a wide ultrasonic beam that is refracted by the pipe wall or reflected by suspended particles in the flowing media. Ultrasound is fired through the pipe wall at 90 degrees to the flow via a tangentially mounted high output ceramic, then refracted at angles across the axis of the flow and subsequently reflected from bubbles, particles, and vortices in all directions and at a wide range of frequencies. The wide, refracted, ultrasonic beam maximizes the ultrasound energy captured from flowing particles. These I N F O @ P U L S A R M E A S U R E M E N T . C O M THE RIGHT METER FOR • Pipe Flow Monitoring • Influent Pipe Flow • Process Effluent • Leachate Pipe Monitoring • Pump / Process Efficiency & Asset Monitoring multiple reflections are received back into the unit via a second high-performance ceramic. Does My Application Need to Be Clean or Dirty Liquid? Because of the nature of the technology that FlowPulse uses, this sensor works best on applications where there are a lot of bubbles, particles, or vortices. For clean water applications, Pulsar Measurement’s Greyline TTFM 6.1 would be best suited. Please see website or product literature for more information. PUL SAR ME A SUR

FLOWPULSE SENSOR Returning Signal Analysis The returned signal is analyzed using FlowPulse’s Refracted Spread Spectrum Analysis (RSSA) digital signal processing platform to derive flow information. RSSA analyzes and integrates the received signals over a wide frequency range, then slices them for real-time analysis and flow rate calculation. The digital platform also offers robust performance in the repeatability of measurement, as well as the flexibility to adapt to application requirements. For example, features such as damping and response time can be easily customized to suit. FlowPulse...
