AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for measuring gas flow in large-diameter pipes suffer from inaccurate measurements due to irregular flow patterns, especially in the presence of turbulence and vortices, where single-point measurements cannot accurately calculate gas flow.
The gas ultrasonic flow sensor adopts a multi-point measurement structure. By setting multiple probe holders and probes inside the pipeline, multiple measurement points are formed, including head, middle and tail probe holders. The probes are paired and matched to form a measurement acoustic path. They are inserted into the pipeline at an angle to perform multi-point measurements. The acoustic path can be adjusted according to the pipe diameter.
It improves the accuracy and stability of gas flow measurement, solves the problem of measurement inaccuracy caused by irregular flow patterns, and enhances the accuracy of measurement and the ability to resist wind speed fluctuations.
