Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic gas meters, in particular to a built-in filtering system of an ultrasonic gas meter. Background Art

[0002] Ultrasonic gas meters measure gas flow using ultrasonic technology and can provide high-precision measurement results. The built-in filtration system is used to ensure that the measurement channel is not contaminated or blocked, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the measurement. The filtration system helps prevent particles or impurities in the gas from entering the meter. These particles may damage the ultrasonic sensor or affect the operation of the measurement system, so the filtration system plays an important role in protecting the meter. Through an effective filtration system, ultrasonic gas meters can reduce maintenance requirements and failure rates. This design can improve the long-term reliability and durability of the gas meter and reduce operating costs.
