Why Use Transit-Time Flowmeters for Hydro Applications
WEDNESDAY, June 25, 2025 | 1:00 PM EDT, 12N CDT, 11am MDT, 10am PDT
Webinar Series Overview
How are ultrasonic (transit-time) flowmeters used in the Hydroelectric industry? These flowmeters are ASME PTC-18 and IEC60041 compliant and can offer highly accurate data based on the methodology of the technology which has been in use since the 1970’s. These hydroelectric applications range from Francis, Pelton, and Kaplan turbines. Since hydroelectric facilities are seldomly designed to optimize flowmeter accuracy requirements, it is important to have flowmeters that can be installed in existing pipe geometry and still offer highly accurate and reliable flow data. Due to the durability and longevity of this technology, this data can be used for a short-term turbine efficiency/performance test or provide real-time flow data for day-to-day operations or future efficiency testing for years after the initial installation.Professional Development Hour (PDH) Documentation Requirements
For interested webinar participants, ADS will provide documentation for professional development hours, subject to the following conditions and limitations:
- You must register individually, sign-in individually, and attend the live webinar in its entirety so that we have the means to validate your attendance and participation for continuing education purposes. We cannot provide PDH documentation for partial attendance, for viewing the webinar archive after the live webinar, or to individuals that watched the live webinar on another attendee’s screen without staying signed in for the duration of the webinar.
- Most organizations do not specifically approve continuing education providers. However, it is your responsibility to determine whether this webinar meets the guidelines set forth by any particular organization.
- Some organizations require the use of pre-approved continuing education providers. ADS is not a pre-approved provider for any particular organization, and this webinar should not be claimed as required continuing education for such organizations.
