Simulation and Performance Comparison of Inline and Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Transmitter

In this article, a simulation-based comparison between Inline and Clamp-on ultrasonic sensors for industrial Flow measurement applications is presented. The simulation model is implemented in MATLAB environment. The study evaluates the performance of both sensor types in measuring fluid velocity, focusing on accuracy, sensitivity, and error margins under varying flow conditions. Through numerical modeling, the simulation assesses the impact of signal attenuation, sensor placement, and fluid properties on measurement reliability. Results indicate that Inline sensors offer higher precision and lower relative error, while Clamp-on sensors provide non-invasive installation with acceptable accuracy, making them suitable for applications where system modification is restricted. The analysis provides practical insights for selecting the optimal sensor type based on operational requirements and environmental constraints.
