This project provided an updated literature review and market review for clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters for oil and gas applications. In addition, this project included updating a guidelines document that was previously developed by PRCI for…
Over the past several years, improvements in clamp-on ultrasonic meter technology have caused increased interest in applying this technology within the natural gas industry. Clamp-on ultrasonic meters (CUSMs), which are mounted on the outside of a…
This study has evaluated the ability of commercially available clamp-on ultrasonic meters (USMs) to diagnose natural gas flow conditions that can produce measurement errors in traditional natural gas meters, and quantify the errors in measurements…
Clamp-on ultrasonic meters remain of interest to the natural gas measurement community because of their potential to provide reasonable measurement accuracy without the need for piping modifications or service interruptions. The applications where…
This study has continued work begun in 2005 to evaluate the use of commercially-available clamp-on ultrasonic meters (USMs) in diagnosing natural gas flow conditions that can produce measurement errors in traditional natural gas meters. In this…
From experimental data, published papers and manufacturers’ information, a Best Practices Guide to the Installation and Use of Clamp-On Ultrasonic Meters in Natural Gas Service has been produced. The guide provides information on the fundamental…
