Portable Doppler Partically Filled Flow Meter

The portable ultrasonic Doppler flowmeter(RBDOF-P) is a convenient metering device developed based on on-site application experience. It follows the principle of simplicity and convenience in many aspects such as assembly, testing, and data collation, aiming to provide users with a good experience. According to various channel types in nature, the product integrates and designs corresponding cross-sectional area calculation formulas. The instantaneous flow can be calculated by the velocity-area method, and the cumulative flow is calculated according to the cumulative time selected by the user. It's a water flow and level monitoring equipment.

Principle

Doppler Ultrasonic Flow Meter for Open Channel Principle: 

The measurement of an ultrasonic Doppler current meter is based on the Doppler effect. The probe emits an ultrasonic wave obliquely upward (or forward), and the ultrasonic wave propagates in the fluid. The fluid contains impurities such as bubbles or particles (it can be considered that the impurities in the fluid have the same velocity as the water flow). When the ultrasonic wave contacts the impurities in the fluid, the reflected ultrasonic wave will produce a Doppler frequency shift Δf, which is proportional to the flow velocity. The flow velocity of the fluid can be measured by measuring the Doppler frequency shift Δf.
