Ultrasonic Flowmeter.
The Doppler effect is used to measure flow in a
pipe, one transducer transmits an ultrasonic
beam of ~0.5 MHz into the flow stream.
Liquid flowing through the pipe must contain
sonically reflective materials such as solid
particles or entrained air bubbles.

The movement of these materials alters the frequency of the
