The Hybrid Ultrasonic Flowmeter Combines Dual Technologies To Accurately Measure Fluid Flow

The hybrid ultrasonic flowmeter is a compound flow measurement instrument that combines the Doppler method and the time difference of propagation method (time difference method). It can automatically switch the measurement mode according to the fluid state to adapt to a wider range of industrial application scenarios.

It perfectly addresses the limitations of single-principle flowmeters in complex operating conditions:

• Extremely wide medium adaptability: It can handle everything from clean tap water to turbid sewage, from bubble-free to gas-containing liquids.
• High reliability: It has redundant measurement capabilities, reducing the risk of downtime.
• Intelligent diagnosis: It not only measures flow but also provides additional information on the fluid state.
• Simplified selection: When facing possible changes in working conditions, there is no need to worry about choosing between time difference method and Doppler method; a hybrid instrument can handle all situations.
• Multiple pipe materials: It supports plastic (PVC, FRP), metal (steel pipe, stainless steel pipe), and lined pipes (asphalt, mortar).

1. Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants: Inlet (Doppler mode as the main option) -> Process (Possible variations) -> Outlet (Time Difference mode as the main option). One instrument can cover the entire process.
2. Circulating Cooling Water Systems: Initially, the system is clean, suitable for Time Difference method; after operation, pipe corrosion and scaling occur, generating impurities, and Doppler method is introduced.
3. Partially Full Pipe Flow Measurement: Some advanced open channel/partially full pipe flow meters adopt a hybrid principle, using Time Difference method to measure liquid level and Doppler method to measure flow velocity.
4. Energy Management and Verification: When dealing with complex components and unclear working conditions of circulating media, hybrid instruments can ensure successful measurement in one attempt, avoiding failures caused by incorrect selection.

Hybrid ultrasonic flowmeters represent the trend of ultrasonic flow measurement technology towards intelligence, high reliability and multi-functionality. Through the integration of principles, they ingeniously resolve the core contradiction of "medium uncertainty" commonly encountered in industrial measurements.
