The commonly used external connection type metering device usually installs two ultrasonic transducers on the outer wall of the pipeline, and cooperates with a temperature detection device to measure heat. Among them, the two ultrasonic transducers are responsible for detecting the flow of the heat distribution network, the different distances between the two ultrasonic transducers correspond to the detection of the flow of the pipe network with different diameters, and the temperature detection device is used to detect the temperature of the pipe network, and then the heat of the pipe network can be calculated according to the heat formula.
