    Blood Flow Meter

    A pair of ultrasonic transducers are installed on the outside of a pipe to measure blood flow. One transducer transmits an ultrasonic signal while the other receives it. The signal takes longer to propagate against the flow of blood compared to with the flow. The difference in propagation times is used to calculate flow velocity, and multiplying that by the cross-sectional area of the pipe gives the volume of blood flow.

    BLOOD FLOW METERS AND BED


    SIDE MONITORS
    The transit-time utilizes the propagation time of the
    ultrasonic signal in the fluid.

    A pair of transducers are installed on the outer surface of


    the pipe as shown in the diagram. Each transducer works
    alternatively as both transmitter and receiver of ultrasonic
    signals.
    When the ultrasonic signal is transmitted toward the
    upstream side against the flow direction, more
    propagation time is required (T1). On the other hand,
    when it is transmitted toward the downstream side with
    the flow direction, the propagation time is less (T2). That
    is, the signal is delayed or speeded up by the moving
    fluid. The difference in time between "T1" and "T2" is
    proportional to the flow velocity, and the flow volume
    can be calculated by multiplying it by the cross-sectional
    area, which is obtained by using the pipe diameter and
    wall thickness.
