Automatic Pipe Detection

Automatic Pipe Detection

LORRIC's EchoSense technology sets you free from the hassles of manual input for pipe diameter and wall thickness, a common requirement in traditional ultrasonic flowmeters. With EchoSense, these settings are automatically detected and configured, providing you with unmatched convenience and efficiency in your setup process. Experience flow measurement made easy.

Principle and technology

The EchoSense ultrasonic flowmeter utilizes the time difference method as its fundamental principle for flow measurement. Illustrated in the diagram below, the path from A to B in the upper right corresponds to the forward flow direction, where signal transmission is faster. Conversely, the path from B to A indicates counterflow, with a slower signal transmission speed. By calculating the time disparity between these two paths, we gain insight into the pipeline's contents. To determine the liquid flow rate, precise measurements are obtained using the flow calculation formula: "flow rate = pipe cross-sectional area * flow velocity."

Principle and technology
Remarkable measurement accuracy

Remarkable measurement accuracy

LORRIC's exclusive algorithm maintains high precision, earning Germany's TrigasFI certification. Test charts show FU-ES measurement accuracy between ±3.0% OR for 10%-100% of full scale (F.S.) and ±0.3% F.S. for 0%-10% of F.S. For a DN25 pipe (3-300LPM range), a 100LPM reading (10%-100%) has a ±3.0% error (97-103). A 20LPM reading (0%-10%) has a ±0.3% error (19.91-20.09).

Multiple Communication Outputs

FU-ES supports various communication modes like Rs485, 0-20mA/4-20mA, Pulse, and more. No need for additional communication modules – we've got you covered!

* The measurement accuracy is established in a controlled laboratory environment where the pipe and fluid conditions are set and the instrument is calibrated to zero before conducting tests at 25°C. Although statistical results are obtained under these conditions, there may be variances in accuracy when used in customer environments.
** Incorrect installation when rotating the screen by loosening the screws around it may affect the IP66 waterproof protection.
