THE DESIGN AND APPLICATION OF CLAMP-ON ULTRASONIC FLOWMETERS FOR CUSTODY TRANSFER AND CHECK METERING GAS APPLICATIONS

Douglas Baumoel
  • Abstract:
    Recent advances in externally mounted sensor design and related electronics have enabled gas meters using clamp-on, non-intrusive, ultrasonic transducers to provide performance equal to or better than meters using conventional insert transducer technology. It is acknowledged that this claim will be met with skepticism; however, the following pages provide evidence of this performance capability. This paper also presents the technical challenges to this design, and how they were overcome. We will review the applicability, benefits, and limitations of the various configurations of this technology.
