TIDM-02005: Ultrasonic transducer selection.

Enrico Rossi
Prodigy 10 points
Part Number: TIDM-02005

Hello,

I am working on a project that requires water flow measurement in metal/plastic pipes and searching for a flow meter solution, I found the "Optimized ultrasonic sensing metrology reference design for water flow measurement" (Part number TIDM-02005) on the TI website.

The evaluation kit fits our application requirements but it comes without the ultrasonic transducers and I am not sure how to select them.

Does anybody have some advice?
Is it possible to use something like this Brass Pipe (http://www.audiowell.com/en/product-detail.aspx?id=80) to test the flow meter?

Thanks and best regards.
Enrico

    Hello Enrico,

    Typically 1MHz or 2MHz transducers intended for 3.3V water flow applications should be used.  Audiowell, Hurricane, Ceramtec, and Jiakang are some of the manufacturers that we have tested our platform with.  The Audiowell DN-25 brass pipe is what the testing in the TIDM-02005 design used.  This pipe + transducers should be the easiest to get up and running with as the default configuration in our GUI should work with this pipe.
