Design SITRANS F US SONO 3100 with FUS060 is designed for measuring the flow velocity of liquids in full pipes. Satisfactory function of the ultrasonic flowmeter depends on a low sound attenuation of the process media and a well-defined and stable flow profile.

Description 3.2 Design Figure 3-1 SITRANS F US SONO 3100 sensor Transducer SONO 3200 The transducer type SONO 3200 is available in two variants: ● Flange type: The transducer has a DIN flange with a groove for fitting to a corresponding flange welded onto the pipe.
A in a shorter time than the sound wave travelling against the direction of flow (from point B to A). The difference in sound transit time indicates the flow velocity in the pipe. SITRANS F US SONO 3100 Operating Instructions, 03/2011, A5E00814513-06...
