The AquaTrans AT600 liquid flow ultrasonic transmitter Step #1: Install straps onto pipe.
combines state-of-the-art flow measurement capability with
a low-cost transmitter package that can be installed right
at the process measurement point. It’s designed specifically
for water and wastewater applications in full pipes. The all-
digital AquaTrans AT600 has no moving parts and requires
minimal maintenance. An onboard microprocessor uses

Transit-time flow measurement

In this method, two transducers serve as both ultrasonic
signal generators and receivers. They are in acoustic
communication with each other, meaning the second
transducer can receive ultrasonic signals transmitted by the Step #3: Open fixture to set spacing.
first transducer and vice versa.
In operation, each transducer functions as a transmitter,
generating a specified number of acoustic pulses, and then
as a receiver for an identical number of pulses. The time
interval between transmission and reception of the ultrasonic
signals is measured in both directions. When the liquid in the
pipe is not flowing, the transit-time downstream equals the
transit-time upstream. When the liquid is flowing, the transit-

onto pipe.
The difference between the downstream and upstream
transit times is proportional to the velocity of the flowing
liquid, and its sign indicates the direction of flow.

Clamp-on transducers
Clamp-on transducers offer maximum convenience,
flexibility and a low installation cost compared to traditional
flow metering technologies. With proper installation, clamp-
on transducers provide better than 1% of reading accuracy in
most applications.
