Abstract
The present invention provides a small, low power consumption ultrasonic flow velocity meter. The burst signal generation section 110 generates two kinds of burst signals with a phase difference and sends these burst signals to a pair of transmission/reception ultrasonic transducers 6 and 7 located on the upstream side and downstream side of the conduit to be measured 9. Upon reception of the corresponding burst signals, the pair of the transmission/reception ultrasonic transducers 6 and 7 convert the burst signals, send ultrasonic waves with a phase difference to the conduit to be measured 9, receive the ultrasonic wave sent by the other transmission/reception ultrasonic transducer and propagated through the conduit to be measured and convert the ultrasonic waves to received signals. These received signals are binarized through the binarization circuits 16 and 17, exclusive-ORed by the exclusive-OR circuit 30 and converted to a phase difference signal indicating a phase difference and the flow velocity of the conduit to be measured 9 is measured based on this phase difference signal.
