Part Number: BOOST-TUSS4470
Hello,
I am looking at using an ultrasonic time of flight measurement to characterize a process of making lubricants with various viscosities and additives.
Preferably I would be able to make this measurement from the outside of the PCV pipe that the lubricant is flowing through. The pipe is CPVC and varies from about 4 inches to 2 inches in different parts of the mixing station.
Right now the products from TI that I am looking at are the TUSS4470 / BOOST-TUSS4470 / MSP430F5529LP. I would like to know what is the suggested setup for measuring in a non-invasive way. Should I use one transmitter / detector and have the signal bounce or a straight through pipe measurement. Does the ultrasonic signal have an issue going around or riding the pipe instead of through the pipe – through the lubricant I am measuring – through the other side of the pipe?
Am I looking at the correct hardware to accomplish this?
Thanks,
John
