Ultrasonic flow meters measure liquid flow without cutting the pipe or stopping the process. Installation quality directly affects accuracy, signal strength, and long-term stability.

This guide explains ultrasonic flow meter installation requirements in simple steps, including pipe selection, straight-run distances, sensor mounting, orientation, wiring, and final verification checks for dependable flow measurement.

Ultrasonic Flow Meter Installation Requirements

Ultrasonic flow meters measure liquid flow without touching the fluid. They use sound pulses to read flow speed. Correct installation is key to accurate readings.

Burak Metering supplies ultrasonic gas flow meters with reliable performance when installed to the following requirements.

Select Correct Pipe Section

Choose a straight pipe section for mounting. Install the meter where there are no valves, pumps, tees, or elbows within the required distance. The pipe must be free of bends before and after the meter. Position meters so flow is fully developed.

Prepare Pipe Surface

Clean the pipe outside where the sensors attach. Remove dirt, rust, paint, and debris. A clean surface helps sensors send and receive signals. Check the pipe wall thickness. Match meter settings to pipe material.

Maintain Flow Distances

Keep the required straight-run distances. Place the meter a defined length from upstream and downstream disturbances. This prevents flow turbulence from affecting readings.

Follow the manufacturer's distances based on pipe size.

Correct Sensor Alignment

Align sensors on opposite sides of the pipe. They must face each other straight across the pipe diameter. Misalignment can weaken the signal and cause wrong flow values. Lock sensors in place firmly.

Choose Proper Orientation

Install the meter where air bubbles and solids in the fluid do not collect. For full-pipe liquid flow, sensors should be at the top or side positions, depending on fluid characteristics. Avoid low spots where air foams.

Check Grounding and Cable Routing

Connect the meter to a stable electrical ground. Run cables away from high-voltage lines and noisy equipment. Keep signal cables tidy and protected. This reduces electrical interference.

Verify Fluid Temperature Range

Confirm fluid temperature does not exceed the meter’s rating. High heat can damage parts. Use insulation or cooling measures if needed to keep the temperature within spec.

Avoid Magnetic or Mechanical Interference

Keep the meter away from strong magnets, heavy machinery, and vibration sources. Excess vibration can shift sensors and alter readings. Use proper mounts and supports.

Test After Installation

After mounting, run a calibration check. Compare with reference values if possible. Adjust settings according to pipe size, fluid type, and flow direction. A final test confirms accuracy before regular use.
