Abstract

L'invention concerne les appareils de mesure à ultrasons. Un dispositif de mesure du temps de transit d'un signal ultrasonore comporte un détecteur d'anomalie 13 qui reçoit le signal de sortie Z du circuit de réception 4, et le signal de fin de comptage W d'un compteur 5 qui est attaqué par un oscillateur fréquence variable 1. Le détecteur 13 fournit en sortie une indication d'anomalie lorsque le signal de sortie Z arrive hors d'une plage prédéterminée qui correspond aux conditions normales de fonctionnement Application aux débitmètres ultrasonores.The invention relates to ultrasonic measuring devices. A device for measuring the transit time of an ultrasonic signal comprises an anomaly detector 13 which receives the output signal Z from the reception circuit 4, and the end of counting signal W from a counter 5 which is driven by a variable frequency oscillator 1. The detector 13 provides at output an anomaly indication when the output signal Z arrives outside a predetermined range which corresponds to the normal operating conditions. Application to ultrasonic flowmeters.
