  • Publication number: 20240085377
    Abstract: A measurement apparatus 1 disposed with respect to a container 105 containing a liquid L. The measurement apparatus 1 includes output detectors fixed to the container 105 that output ultrasonic waves that propagate in the liquid L in the container 105 and detect the ultrasonic waves propagated in the liquid L. The measurement apparatus 1 also includes a controller 50 that measures a state of the liquid L in the container 105 based on the ultrasonic waves detected by the output detectors.

  • Publication number: 20130238260
    Abstract: An ultrasonic measuring device that measures a flow volume of a fluid by sending an ultrasonic signal to the fluid and receiving a transmission signal or a reflection signal of the ultrasonic signal obtained from the fluid, may include: a first computing unit that performs a calculation to a first receive signal obtained by receiving the transmission signal, and determines a first flow volume indicating the flow volume of the fluid; a second computing unit that performs a correlation calculation of a second receive signal obtained by receiving the reflection signal, and determines a second flow volume indicating the flow volume of the fluid; a storage unit; and a correcting unit that outputs one of the first flow volume and the second flow volume based on a volume of air-bubbles contained in the fluid.
