  • Method for determining a flow rate for a fluid in a flow tube of a flow measurement system, as well as a corresponding flow measurement system
    Patent number: 10627274
    Abstract: Flow measurement system comprising a flow tube for the fluid whose flow rate is to be determined, wherein said system comprises at least three ultrasound transducer circuitry, wherein each circuitry comprises an ultrasound transducer arranged for transmitting ultrasound signals through said fluid in a transmitting phase, and for receiving transmitted signals from another of said at least three ultrasound transducers in a receiving phase, multiple receiving circuits, wherein each receiving circuit is arranged for reading out one of said at least three ultrasound transducers in a corresponding receiving phase thereof, and multiplexer circuitry ground arranged for selectively connecting each of said multiple receiving circuits to a different one of said at least three ultrasound transducers, respectively.

  • Ultrasonic flow meter
    Patent number: 10571325
    Abstract: The invention relates to an ultrasonic flow measurement system comprising a flow tube for the fluid whose flow rate is to be determined and at least two ultrasound transducer circuitry. At least one of the at least two ultrasound transducer circuitry comprises an ultrasound transmitter that is arranged for transmitting ultrasound signals through said fluid in a transmitting phase, and at least another one of the at least two ultrasound transducer circuitry comprises an ultrasound receiver that is arranged for receiving transmitted ultrasound signals in a receiving phase. The system further comprises at least one receiving circuit that is arranged for reading out the ultrasound receiver in the receiving phase; and control means connected to the at least two ultrasound transducer circuitry and to the at least one receiving circuit.
