Ultrasonic Velocity Profiling (UVP)

Ultrasonic Velocity Profiling (UVP) is a measurement technique based on ultrasound Doppler, to acquire velocity profiles in transparent or opaque liquid flows.

Key benefits

  • Measurement of velocity profiles in almost any liquid, either transparent or opaque,  such as water, waste water, slurry, oil, food, liquid metal, and many more.
  • Real-time measurement and display of velocity profiles and echo amplitude, useful for  process monitoring, quality control, risk management, sudden flow conditions change, etc.
  • Velocity range up to 52 m/s or ±26 m/s
  • Velocity profiles over distances from 2 mm to 3 m
  • High flexibility of the profiler configuration for a wide variety of applications,  from millimeter pipe sections to large open channel flows.
  • Large set of analysis tools available: turbulence statistics, power spectrum,  spatial correlation, flow-rate, and other relevant data.
  • 2D and 3D flow mapping: multi-dimensional velocity measurement is possible combining several transducers in a grid array, using specific software analysis modules. UVP ActiveX library: UVP acquisition software functions can be implemented in an  integrative acquisition system compatible with ActiveX (Matlab®, Labview®, etc.), for instance to synchronize data collection with specific experiment events or to access to UVP-DUO demodulated echo signals.
