4-Inch Ultrasonic Meter For Custody Transfer Application

摘要

During the past three years, a quiet revolution in the natural gas transmission and distribution industry has occurred. Traditional primary metering devices such as orifice, turbine and rotary meters are being replaced by a fast-growing ultrasonic metering technology. Have you heard the sound of this quiet revolution yet? Perhaps your company is already using this new wave of technology for custody and non-custody applications. If so, you may already be aware of its many benefits. Before discussing benefits, it's important to recognize that using ultrasonic signals to measure natural gas flow is not new. The first patent was issued in 1928 to a German scientist. However, only after development of lower-cost digital electronics in the 1980s did this technology meet or exceed user accuracy requirements.
