Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for calibrating the transmitters of ultrasonic flow meters according to the transit time difference method. The object of the invention is to provide a method for calibrating the transmitters of ultrasonic flow meters, said calibration being able to be carried out independently of the other components of the meter, such as the acoustic transducers and the pipe in which the fluid flow being measured occurs. According to the invention, the measurement signals are generated by means of an artificial simulation of the measurement path. This allows the transmitter to be calibrated independently of the remaining components of the measuring apparatus, such as the measuring tube and the acoustic transducers.
