In accordance with one embodiment, a flow meter of the present invention includes: transmission/reception means provided in a flow path for performing transmission/reception using a state change of fluid; repetition means for repeating the transmission/reception; time measurement means for measuring a time of propagation repeated by the repetition means; flow rate detection means for detecting a flow rate based on a value of the time measurement means; and number-of-times change means for changing to a predetermined number of repetition times. With such a structure, an influence caused by a variation of a flow can be suppressed by changing the number of repetition times so as to be suitable for a variation. As a result, reliable flow rate measurement with a high accuracy can be achieved.

A piezoelectric composite is formed from a piezoelectric precursor prepared by mixing a powder containing piezoelectric material with a binder material and a gap forming material filling a gap formed to the piezoelectric precursor. The gap forming material is then removed from the thus formed piezoelectric composite, thereby forming a piezoelectric element.

An ultrasonic probe has an elongated form with an end. A transducer element array is disposed in the probe for emitting ultrasonic wave frontward with respect to the end of the probe and receiving echo ultrasonic waves. The transducer element array converts the received echo ultrasonic waves into corresponding electric echo signals. The electric echo signals are processed according to a predetermined aperture synthesis technique, and thereby an image signal is generated on the basis of the electric echo signals. An image of a region in front of the end of the probe is reproduced in response to the image signal.

A cleaning effect is improved by cleaning a component that has a recess structure by using a cleaning medium of a liquefied gas or a supercritical fluid. By the cleaning method of removing adhering substances adhering to at least the surface of the recess structure of the component that has the recess structure, cleaning is carried out by using the supercritical gas or the liquefied gas so that the cleaning medium spreads over the surface of the recess structure.

The present invention provides an ultrasonic transducer having uniform characteristics. Because the characteristics of a pair of ultrasonic transducer are equalized with each other, measuring accuracy of an ultrasonic flowmeter can be improved. Electrical connection from an electrode surface 13 of a piezoelectric body 11 to an external electrode is achieved not by soldering but by an electroconductive elastic body 16. As a result, variations of the frequency characteristics due to thermal load on the piezoelectric body 11 can be reduced, and this makes it possible to obtain an ultrasonic transducer with uniform characteristics, and measuring accuracy of an ultrasonic flowmeter using a pair of the ultrasonic transducer can be improved.
摘要:
An ultrasonic flowmeter includes a flow path defined by four wall sections, a flow measurement section, a calculation section and a pair of ultrasonic oscillators for transmitting and receiving an ultrasonic wave over a distance. The flow path is configured to reduce the influence of a phase difference, which results from the varying propagation distances of a direct wave and a reflected wave, by changing one or more of the flow measurement section configuration, the ultrasonic wave frequency, the orientation of the ultrasonic oscillators, and the distance between the pair of ultrasonic oscillators. A measurement section is suitably configured to measure the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave propagating between the pair of ultrasonic oscillators. Additionally, a calculation section is suitably configured to receive measurements from the measurement section and to calculate the fluid flow in the flow measurement section.
