Application Number: JP,2022-157943
Category (FI): G01F1/684@A
Stage: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a measurement device, a measurement system, and a measurement method capable of measuring a flow rate of fluid flowing inside a pipe, from the outside of the pipe without breaking the pipe.SOLUTION: A measurement device comprises: a temperature information acquisition unit that acquires temperature information about a temperature of an outside surface of a wall part of a pipe through which fluid flows, at a point on a more upstream side of the pipe through which fluid flows than a point where a heating device heating the outside surface of the wall part of the pipe is provided; a temperature distribution calculation unit that calculates temperature distribution on the outside surface of the wall part of the pipe based on the temperature information; a heat transfer coefficient calculation unit that calculates a heat transfer coefficient in the pipe based on the temperature distribution calculated by the temperature distribution calculation unit; a flow rate calculation unit that calculates a flow rate of the fluid based on the heat transfer coefficient calculated by the heat transfer coefficient calculation unit; and an output unit that outputs information indicating the flow rate calculated by the flow rate calculation unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 (Grant)
