- Abstract:
- In this study, small disk ultrasonic transducers were used to develop a very small ultrasonic flowmeter with a measuring pipe diameter of less than 1 mm. The feasibility of using an ultrasonic flowmeter to measure a liquid flow rate below 1 mL/min was investigated experimentally. Calibration results of the developed ultrasonic flowmeter were almost all scattered within the range predicted from the standard deviation of measurements. The flowmeter can stably measure a flow rate of less than 1 mL/min with a standard deviation of about 0.01 mL/min. This result suggests that the flowmeter can be very useful for semiconductor, medical and chemical industries.
