How to Choose the Right Ultrasonic Flow Meter Type for Your Application

An ultrasonic flow meter measures fluid flow using sound waves. Users prefer this meter for its accuracy and low maintenance.

Burak Metering, a leading ultrasonic flow meter manufacturer in India, builds high-quality devices for many industries.

How to Choose Ultrasonic Flow Meter Type for Your Application

1. Identify Fluid Properties

Measure what fluid you will track. Liquid density, viscosity, and temperature affect reading quality. Choose a meter that can handle the fluid type.

Burak Metering units work with water, chemicals, and industrial liquids.

Ask us about the right meter for your fluid type.

2. Select Measurement Method

Ultrasonic meters use two main methods:

• Transit-Time: Best for clean fluids. It tracks the time sound takes between sensors.
• Doppler: Works for fluids with solids or bubbles. It measures sound reflections.

Match your fluid with the right method.

3. Check Pipe Size and Material

List your pipe diameter and material before selecting a meter. Ultrasonic flow meters must match pipe size.

Burak Metering offers sizes from small to large industrial lines.

4. Evaluate Accuracy Requirements

Define how precise your flow data must be. Some processes need higher accuracy for billing or control. Transit-time types often give higher precision for clean liquid.

Schedule service or calibration for your flow meter.

5. Consider Installation Options

Decide if you need a clamp-on or an inline sensor:

• Clamp-on: Mounts outside the pipe. Ideal for quick setup and no cutting.
• Inline: Installed inside the pipe. Best for stable, long-term use.

Burak Metering supports both choices for flexible deployment.

6. Assess Environmental Conditions

Check if your meter will face dust, vibration, heat, or cold. Choose a rugged enclosure if conditions are tough.

Burak Metering ultrasonic flowmeters are built for industrial work.

7. Look at Output Signals

Your system may need specific output formats like 4-20 mA or pulse. Confirm the meter’s communication fits your control system.

8. Plan for Maintenance and Support

Pick a product backed with training, service, and long-term support.

Burak Metering provides local support and installation help.
