Straight Pipe Section Requirements for Ultrasonic Flowmeters
Ultrasonic flowmeters rely on stable ultrasonic signal transmission and fully developed fluid flow fields to achieve accurate flow measurement. Straight pipe sections are essential installation conditions that eliminate flow turbulence, swirling flow, and velocity profile distortion caused by pipe fittings such as elbows, valves, and reducers. Insufficient straight pipe length is one of the most common causes of measurement deviation, data fluctuation, and long-term metering instability in industrial sites.
