Thermal Irradiance Effects on Ultrasonic Meter Performance at Low Flow Rates

摘要

This paper presents experimental results of a Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI) project conducted by Southwest Research Institute and reported in PRCI report PR-015-12606-R01. The project examined low flow behavior of ultrasonic flow meters in the presence of external radiant loads. This paper presents a summary of that study; therefore, the reader is encouraged to reference the related PRCI report [1] for more detailed information.
