The invention discloses a
system capable of measuring flow velocity of gas by sound, and a measuring method, which belong to the measuring field of flow velocity of fluids. According to the
system, an
acoustic wave emission device and an
acoustic wave signal sensor are fixed to the
pipe wall of a pipeline in which gas flows, and are connected with a power
amplifier, a
data acquisition device and a computer; the
acoustic wave emission device sends out acoustic wave signals; the acoustic wave signals are encoded by adopting a SpectraLAb
software, after the acoustic signals are converted into analog signals through an acoustic card, measuring acoustic wave signals are sent out through the power
amplifier, the acquired data is input into the computer through a
data acquisition card, the computer processes the acquired data so as to obtain acoustic wave
travel time, and finally, the flow velocity v of the gas is obtained by calculation. The measuring method disclosed by the invention belongs to the non-
contact type measuring method of the flow velocity of gas, and can be applicable for the measurement of the flow velocity of gas under various complicated environments, the
system is simple and convenient to
mount, the original equipment does not need to be destroyed, the measuring precision is high, and the measuring error can be within 5%.
