<p>The section for volume, flow and temperature at SP Technical Research</p><p>Institute of Sweden performs measurements of volume, flow and temperature</p><p>in liquids.</p><p>Flow meters are best calibrated in its installation to take sources of error like</p><p>installation effects and the medium into account. If this can be done without</p><p>having to place measurement equipment inside the pipe it will mean several</p><p>practical benefits.</p><p>Since many years, clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters have been available on the</p><p>market. But even with today’s improvements they still have a measurement</p><p>uncertainty in the measurements that is five to ten times too big to make them</p><p>useful as references for calibration procedures.</p><p>This thesis focuses on analysis, using reversed engineering, of an existing</p><p>clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter.</p><p>The goal of the project is evaluation and further development of the ultrasonic</p><p>flow meter’s existing computer interface with the purpose of offering the</p><p>option of using Microsoft Excel and Visual Basic for data acquisition and</p><p>measurement of the flow rate of liquids.</p>
