FLOW METER SYSTEM

摘要

The application provides an acoustic flow meter for a fluid conduit. The flow meter has one or more acoustic transmitter and receiver pairs, a holder, an interface unit, and a computer module. The acoustic transmitter and receiver pair measures a flow speed value of a fluid in the fluid conduit. The holder fixes the acoustic transmitter and receiver pair to the fluid conduit. The interface unit receives a type data, a position data, and an orientation data of a fluid disturbance element, and a position data and an orientation data of the acoustic transmitter and receiver pair. The computer module has a memory unit, a processor, an output device. The memory unit stores a relationship data set. The processor computes a flow rate of the fluid by using the relationship data set type. The output device outputs the flow rate.
