Transducers (Ultrasonic Sensors):

  • Piezoelectric Crystals: GAO’s crystals generate ultrasonic waves when subjected to an electric field. They are commonly used in ultrasonic sensors for transmitting and receiving signals.
  • Transmitter: GAO’s transmitter sends ultrasonic waves into the flowing medium.
  • Receiver: Our receiver detects ultrasonic waves after they have passed through the medium. The time taken for the waves to travel is used to calculate flow velocity.

Signal Conditioning:

  • Amplifiers: Our amplifier boosts the weak signals received by the transducer to levels suitable for further processing.
  • Filters: Our filters remove unwanted noise and interference from the received signals, ensuring accurate measurements.

Microcontroller/Processor:

  • Microcontroller: Our microcontroller manages and processes the signals received from the transducers.
  • Digital Signal Processor (DSP): Our DSP performs advanced signal processing tasks to extract flow-related information accurately.

Memory:

  • RAM and Flash: Our Ram & flash is used for temporary storage of data and to store the meter’s firmware and configuration settings.

Communication Interface:

  • Analog Output: Our analog output provides an analog signal proportional to the flow rate for external systems.
  • Digital Communication (e.g., RS-485, Modbus): Ours allows the meter to communicate with other devices or systems for data logging or control purposes.

Power Supply:

  • Power Management Circuit: Our power management circuit regulates and manages the power supply to the various components.
  • Battery or External Power Source: Depending on the application, our flow meters can be powered by batteries or connected to an external power source.

Housing and Enclosure:

  • Protection: Ours shield internal components from environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.
  • Material: Our material is typically made of materials compatible with the operating environment, ensuring durability and longevity.

Display and User Interface:

  • LCD/LED Display: Our LCD/LED display shows real-time flow readings, diagnostics, and other relevant information.
  • Control Buttons or Touchscreen: Our display control buttons, or touchscreen allow users to configure settings, perform calibrations, and access meter data.

Temperature and Pressure Sensors:

  • Temperature Sensor: Ours monitors the temperature of the fluid, which can affect the accuracy of flow measurements.
  • Pressure Sensor: Ours measure the pressure of the fluid, providing additional data for compensation and calibration.

Calibration and Diagnostic Circuitry:

  • Calibration Components: Ours resistors, capacitors, or other components used to calibrate the meter for accurate measurements.
  • Diagnostic Circuitry: We monitor the health of the meter, detecting any faults or malfunctions.

Mechanical Structure:

  • Flow Tube: Our physical structure through which the fluid passes. In ultrasonic flow meters, it may contain transducer pairs.
  • Mounting and Bracing: We securely hold the meter in place within the pipeline or system.
