Description
Summary:Currently, many countries are experiencing water shortages, which requires efficient use of available water resources. Therefore, there is an increasing need for simple, reliable and inexpensive water flow measurement devices with high measurement accuracy. This article researched an ultrasonic device for measuring water flow, operating on the basis of the time-pulse method. The device was based on an STM32 microcontroller, and a high-precision TDC-GP22 converter was used to generate ultrasonic signals and subsequently collect the difference in their propagation time. The main advantages of the proposed device are ease of use and low power consumption. The experiment’s findings indicate that the water flow meter being examined can be effectively utilized at hydromelioration sites.
