DEVICE FOR ULTRASONIC MEASUREMENT OF A FLUID VOLUME

摘要

A device for measuring a fluid volume, including a measuring unit (10) consisting of a measurement channel (12) and two ultrasonic transducers (14, 16) defining an ultrasonic path therein; a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet communicating with respective ends (12a, 12b) of said channel; and a unit (30) for conditioning the fluid flow before it enters the channel, said unit being located opposite the end of the measuring unit that corresponds to the measurement channel inlet end, and including a large chamber (32) receiving the fluid flow. Members (34, 36) are also provided for splitting said flow near the measurement channel inlet end (12a) at a sufficiently wide average angle of convergence.
