Multi-path ultrasonic flowrate measuring technology is being received much attentions from a variety of industrial fields to exactly measure the flowrate. Multi-path ultrasonic flowmeter has much advantage since it has no moving parts and little pressure loss. It offers good accuracy, repeatability, linearity and turn-down ratio can be over 1:50. The present study investigates flowrate integration errors using weighting factors. A theoretical flow model uses power law to describe a fully developed velocity profiles and wall roughness is changed. Gaussian, Chebyshev, and Tailor methods are used to integrate line-average velocities. The obtained results show that Chebyshev method in 2, 4-path arrangement and Gaussian method in 3, 5-path arrangement are not affected for wall roughness changes.

현재 하천의 유량측정을 위해 국내외에서 설치, 운영되고 있는 자동유량측정시설은 대부분 초음파유속계를 이용한 실시간 하천유량측정시스템이다. 이러한 초음파유속계는 도플러 방식 초음파유속계(ADVM)와 이동 시간차 방식 초음파유속계(UVM)로 구분되는데, 한강대교 등에 적용된 ADVM 방식에 비해 UVM 방식은 초음파 도달거리의 특성으로 인해 대부분 중소규모의 하천에 적용되어왔다. 이러한 UVM 방식을 하폭이 넓고 홍수시 수위변화가 심한 대규모하천에 적용하기 위해서는 여러 회선을 다층으로 구성하여 설치할 필요가 있는데, 한강의 여주지점은 16개의 회선을 5개의 층으로 구성하여 측정의 정확도를 높이고 홍수시 수위상승시에도 다양한 회선으로 유속을 측정할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구에서는 여주지점에 설치되어 운영 중에 있는 이동 시간차 방식 자동유량측정시설의 운영결과를 검토하고 측정치에 대한 검증을 위해 2008년 1월부터 12월까지의 유량측정결과를 검토하였다. 평 저수시는 유속계와 ADCP 이동보트를 이용한 연속측정결과와 비교하였으며 홍수시에는 봉부자 측정결과와 비교하였다. 기존 실측은 2008년 2월부터 12월까지 저수위 및 중 고수위에 걸쳐 실시하였으며, 프라이스유속계 22회, 이동식 ADCP 6회 그리고 부자를 이용한 방법 6회등, 총 34회가 이루어졌으며, 비교 결과 수위 1.5m 이하의 저 평수기에 평균 5.5%의 오차를 보였으며, 홍수시 검증측정유량과의 비교결과 7.6%의 오차를 보였다.

In this study, the effect of flow disturbance such as contraction, expansion pipe and velocity deviation from low velocity of $0.1\;^m/s$ to $2.5\;^m/s$ on the error characteristics of the flowmeter was studied. Flow experiments using flowmeter calibration facility of K-water were undertaken for the cases of ultrasonic flowmeter based on transit-time method and electromagnetic flowmeter. Experimental results are presented that measurement error of expansion pipe are larger than contraction pipe. It is shown that the minimum straight length were required to remain of ${\pm}0.5%$ error for electromagnetic flowmeter and ${\pm}2.0%$ error for ultrasonic flowmeter.

For the piezoelectric vibrator, PZT, in a general transmit-receive sensor using the ultrasonic flowmeter, the characteristics of frequency response relating to the backing materials were analyzed with the Mason equivalent circuit for design and the sensitivity of fabricated transducer relating to the matching materials was measured and discussed. The results those were measured in water for the transmit-receive characteristics of each transducer can be applied to the flowmeter sensor.

Ultrasonic flow metering(UFM) technology is being received much attention from a variety of industrial fields to exactly measure the flow rate. The UFM has much advantage over other conventional flow meter systems, since it has no moving parts, and offers good accuracy and reliability without giving any disturbances to measure the flow rate, thereby not causing pressure losses in the flow fields. In the present study, 3-dimensional, unsteady, compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved by a finite volume scheme, based upon the second order upwind scheme for spatial derivatives and the multi-stage Runge-Kutta integral method for time derivatives. In order to simulate multi-path ultrasonic flow meter, an excited pressure signal is applied to three different locations upstream, and the pressure signals are received at three different locations downstream. The mean flow velocities are calculated by the time difference between upstream and downstream propagating pressure signals. The obtained results show that the present CFD method simulates successfully ultrasonic meter gas flow and the mean velocity measured along the chord near the wall is considerably influenced by the boundary layers.

Generally, the system of calculation for the multi-path ultrasonic flow meters can be divided into two methods by how to get the mean velocity, namely, weighting and direct method. Weighting-method derive the mean velocity through modeling in theoretical velocity profile. Direct-method derive the mean velocity though actual flow distribution. The system of calculation varies with maker's transducer configuration and integration method. Each system has merits and demerits. This paper describes the system of integration that calculates line velocity over cross-section of the circular pipe. Flow rate mr discussed in this paper is a difference between theoretical flow rate and integrated flow rate according to values of Reynolds number in symmetric flow field or theoretical flow rate and integrated flow rate according to rotated model in asymmetric flow field.
