Abstract

Poster B1 Ultrasonic flow measurement technology has been used in practical applications for more than 50 years, and for over 30 years in custody transfer oil and gas applications. To acquire optimal results, local regulatory, buyer–seller contracts and international standards are applied. One aspect, recalibration, is often specific to the local regulations within the country of use. In this paper, we will discuss the past, present and future of ultrasonic flowmeter diagnostics. Starting at the beginning, we will discuss the first patent on ultrasonic flow measurement in 1928, to the present condition-based monitoring (CBM) software tools automating data evaluation and providing users with audit trails. The purpose of the modern ultrasonic meter is both to provide high-accuracy flow measurement, and to monitor the health of the meter. Modern diagnostic features help identify any potential cause(s) of measurement deviations. To access the poster click the link on the right. To read the full paper click here
