Definitions
- This invention relates to fluid flow meters utilizing ultrasonic sensors on pipe walls in general, and to the same which use a gel form ultrasonic couplant disposed between the sensor and the pipe wall in particular.
- Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters are a desirable tool for determining characteristics of a fluid flow traveling through a pipe.
- Ultrasonic flow meters typically include a plurality of ultrasonic sensors, each having a transmitter and a receiver.
- ultrasonic signals emitted from the transmitters travel through the immediate pipe wall, the fluid flow disposed within the pipe, and through the opposite pipe wall where they are sensed by the receiver portion.
- the transmitters and receivers are disposed on the same side of the pipe; the sensed fluid flow signal component is one that has reflected off of the opposite pipe wall and traversed the fluid flow a second time.
- the received signal is processed to determine information such as flow velocity, volumetric flow rate, water cut, etc.
- information such as flow velocity, volumetric flow rate, water cut, etc.
- One of the problems with using a couplant is that it may degrade or migrate away from the interface between the sensor and the pipe surface over time, thereby compromising the performance of the sensor. This is particularly true in applications where the sensors and the couplant are subject to harsh environmental conditions such as large temperature and or humidity variances, exposure to sunlight, and exposure to contaminants (e.g., sand, oil, dirt, etc.). Consequently, there is a need to provide a means for ensuring that a couplant disposed between a sensor and a pipe surface will remain intact and operable without being compromised.
- an apparatus for measuring one or more characteristics of a fluid flowing within a pipe includes a housing, sealant, and an array of at least two ultrasonic sensors.
- the housing is operable to be mounted on the exterior surface of the pipe.
- the housing has at least one pocket extending between a pipe-side surface and an outer surface.
- the pipe-side surface mates with the exterior surface of the pipe.
- the sealant is disposed between the pipe exterior surface and the housing pipe-side surface.
- the sealant forms a seal around the pocket when the housing is mounted on the exterior surface of the pipe.
- the array of ultrasonic sensor units are disposed within the at least one pocket. Each sensor unit includes a transmitter and a receiver.
- a flow meter sensor protective device includes a housing, a sealant, and at least one pocket cover.
- the housing is operable to be mounted on an exterior surface of a pipe, and includes at least one pocket extending between a pipe-side surface and an outer surface.
- the pipe-side surface mates with the exterior surface of the pipe.
- the pocket is sized to receive an array of at least two ultrasonic sensor units.
- the sealant is operable to be disposed between the exterior surface and pipe-side surface, and is operable to form a seal around the pocket when the housing is mounted on the exterior surface of the pipe.
- the at least one pocket cover is operable to seal the at least one pocket.

- FIG. 5 is a schematic depiction of a fluid flow meter mounted on a pipe.
- an ultrasonic flow meter system 20 is provided operable to be attached to the exterior of a pipe 22 containing a fluid flow 23, which system 20 is sometimes referred to as a "clamp-on" type flow meter system 20.
- the system 20 includes an ultrasonic flow meter 24, a sensor housing 26, and mounting hardware 28.
- the pipe 22 has a diameter, a pipe wall 32, an interior surface 36 an exterior surface 38, and an axial centerline.
- the ultrasonic flow meter described in U.S. Patent No. 7,389,187, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, is an example of such a device.
- the flow meter 24 includes an array of ultrasonic sensors 42 disposed axially along the length of a pipe 22.
- Each ultrasonic sensor comprises a transmitter 44 (TX) and a receiver 46 (RX) pair.
- the transmitter 44 provides an ultrasonic signal across the pipe 22 in a direction that is orthogonal to the direction of the fluid flow 23 where it is received by the corresponding receiver 46.
- the present invention is not limited to use with sensors 42 having orthogonally opposed transmitter-receiver pairs, however, and can be used with alternative sensor 42 configurations such as pitch and catch configurations, pulse echo configurations, and combined transmitter/receiver ultrasonic sensors 42.
- the signals Si(t)-Sw(t) received from each ultrasonic sensor 42 are processed by an ultrasonic signal processor 48 and a signal processor 50 (having an array processor) for determining the velocity of the fluid flow 23 and/or volumetric flow rate.
- the signal processor 50 includes array processing logic, examples of which include SONAR processing logic and cross-correlation processing logic.
- the housing 26 includes at least one pocket 52 extending between a pipe-side surface 54 and an outer surface 56.
- the housing 26 includes a first portion 26a and a second portion 26b aligned with each other on opposite sides of the pipe 22.
- Each portion 26a, 26b includes at least one pocket 52.
- the pipe-side surface 54 of each portion 26a, 26b is configured to mate with the exterior surface 38 of the pipe 22.
- the pocket 52 in each housing portion 26a, 26b extends all the way through the respective housing portion.
- the housing portions 26a, 26b are attached to the exterior surface 38 of the pipe 22 and a sealant 55 is disposed between the pipe exterior surface 38 and pipe-side surface 54 of the housing 26, which sealant 55 forms a seal around the pocket 52 when the housing 26 is mounted on the exterior surface 38 of the pipe 22.
- the housing portions 26a, 26b are attached to the pipe 22 by a bonding agent acting on the exterior surface 38 of the pipe 22 and the pipe-side surface 54 of the respective housing portion.
- the bonding agent acts as the sealant 55.
- An example of an acceptable bonding agent is Loctite® Hysol® 9460TM epoxy adhesive commercially offered by the Henkel Corporation.
- the present invention is not limited to a bonded interface between the housing 26 and the exterior surface 38 of the pipe 22, however.
- the housing 26 may be mechanically coupled to the exterior surface 38 of the pipe 22 and a seal material 55 (e.g., formable or solid gasket material, sealant, elastomeric member, etc.) disposed between the pipe-side surface and the exterior surface 38.
- a seal material 55 e.g., formable or solid gasket material, sealant, elastomeric member, etc.
- the seal created at the interface between the housing 26 and the exterior surface 38 of the pipe 22 is adequate to prevent leakage of acoustic couplant 60 from inside the housing 26 to outside the housing 26.
- the housing 26 can be formed from a variety of materials (e.g., metal, polymer, etc.) and is not limited to any particular material.
- the environment in which the flow meter 24 is deployed may influence the choice of material.
- a cover 58 is attached to the outer surface 56 of each housing portion 26a, 26b.

- FIG. 2 illustrates a cover 58 in the form of a plate attached to the outer surface 56 of each housing portion 26a, 26b.
- the present invention is not limited to this embodiment and may, for example, include formable material cover disposed within the pocket 52 that fills in the pocket 52 around the periphery of the sensor 42, thereby providing a seal between the sensor 42 and the pocket 52.
- the cover 58 can be attached to the sensor(s) 42 that will be inserted within the pocket 52. The cover 58 is attached to the sensors 42 in such a way that it locates and positions the sensors 42 relative to the pocket 52 and also seals the pocket 52 (See FIG. 4 ) .
- the housing pockets 52 may be sized to include a shoe 62 disposed within the pocket 52 between the pipe wall 32 and the sensor 42
