An ultrasonic transit-time gas flowmeter for automotive applications
Proceedings of IEEE Sensors, 2004., 2006A new concept for ultrasonic transit-time gas flowmeters, utilizing high temperature resistant capacitance transducers, and results from a preliminary laboratory prototype, are presented. With this concept, measurements of hot (up to 450/spl deg/C) and pulsating gas flows have been achieved for the first time. Such conditions occur e.g.

Effect of wall roughness changes on ultrasonic gas flowmeters
Flow Measurement and Instrumentation, 2001Abstract A theoretical flow model has been developed to describe accurately a fully developed velocity profile of a gas flow in pipe lines with wall roughness as parameter. The model applies the Colebrook and White skin friction correlation which has been adjusted based on experimental data from Princeton SuperPipe facilities.

New developments in ultrasonic gas analysis and flowmetering
2008 IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium, 2008Ultrasonic methods have important advantages in the measurement of gas flow, including the ability to measure almost any gas or gas mixture over a wide pressure range and turndown ratio. Ultrasonic gas flowmeters also are capable of measuring bi-directional flow and may be non-intrusive with no pressure loss.

Computational modeling of dilute gas-particle flows in an ultrasonic gas flowmeter
Flow Measurement and Instrumentation, 1997Abstract A computational procedure is presented to predict particle-laden turbulent gas flows in an ultrasonic flowmeter using curvilinear coordinates. The Eulerian-Lagrangian hybrid model is used for the two-phase flow predictions. The turbulent gas phase is formulated using the Eulerian governing equations whereas the particle phase is formulated ...

Effect of ultrasonic noise generated by pressure control valves on ultrasonic gas flowmeters
Flow Measurement and Instrumentation, 2018Abstract Natural gas imported to Korea has been provided and distributed by the pressure regulating and metering stations of Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) to domestic customers which include the power plants and city gas companies. The supplied natural gas is pressure-controlled to 10 and 40 bara by pressure control valves of several types, such as ...

Measurement of high-pressure natural gas flow using ultrasonic flowmeters
Measurement, 1997Abstract A number of analyses have been carried out on both the installation effects and the calibration problems of transit time multipath flowmeters. There is, however, only a somewhat sketchy knowledge of their field operation, their long-term performance, and their compatibility with traditional instruments and measurement techniques.

Gas density metering in ultrasonic gas flowmeters using impedance measurements and chemometrics
1999 IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium. Proceedings. International Symposium (Cat. No.99CH37027), 1999Measurements using ultrasonic transducers confirm that the density of the gaseous medium can be predicted from impedance measurements on the same transducers. Tests were performed with the following gases under different pressure: SF6, N2, He, and air. These gases were selected to achieve a large span of densities.
