API Draft Standard - Measurement of Liquid Hydrocarbons by Ultrasonic Flow Meters using Transit Time Technology

摘要

At the agenda of API meetings always time is reserved for new emerging measurement technologies. About eight years ago, in 1996, the flow measurement technology of ultrasonic flowmeters was introduced. Based on the technological information together with the experience accumulated with flowmeters in use by a number of European users, API decided this development formed a sufficient basis to start an Ultrasonic Task Group. The assignment the task group received was to investigate the possibility of creating a standard that describes the use of ultrasonic flowmeters in custody transfer applications on liquid hydrocarbon products.
