Can ultrasonic flowmeters be used in pipes lined with steel or plastic? In what situations can ultrasonic flowmeters be used?
Ultrasonic flowmeters can be used in steel-lined pipes and plastic pipes. It is suitable for many applications, primarily used to measure the flow rate of liquids (including water, oil, etc.) and gases. It is particularly appropriate for situations where the fluid flow must not be interrupted or where the pipes should not be affected by intrusive installations. .
I asked the manufacturer, and they said that steel-lined plastic pipes can’t be used
It seems we only use it on plastic pipes
Draw a schematic diagram and you’ll understand; in my opinion, it’s not possible to add an inner lining, as that would cause the speed of sound to decrease.
