Annotation:
The article considers an ultrasonic system, which registers the presence of impurity particles in an oil flow as well as evaluates their sizes. The structure of the measuring system is described, which contains a matrix of emitting and receiving piezoelectric elements that form a set of ultrasonic beams that scan the entire cross-section of an oil pipeline. Experimental data on the solid particles parameters in the oil flow are presented, an ultrasonic method for determining these parameters is proposed. The model of the ultrasonic signal in the system under consideration is determined, the possibility of determining the size and number of solid particles of minerals as well as paraffin substances in the oil flow in the oil pipeline is shown. An approximation model of an ultrasonic signal in a measuring system is proposed, and the possibility of using such a system in the oil industry is determined.
