PR-015-06601-R01 Evaluation of Clamp-on Ultrasonic Meters as Field-Portable Diagnostic Tool

View through CrossRef
This study has continued work begun in 2005 to evaluate the use of commercially-available clamp-on ultrasonic meters (USMs) in diagnosing natural gas flow conditions that can produce measurement errors in traditional natural gas meters. In this project, a prototype multi-array clamp-on USM and a commercially available two-path clamp-on USM were mounted on a conventional orifice meter run with a 19-tube bundle flow straighter subjected to well-conditioned flow and a series of adverse flow conditions. Measurements from the clamp-on meters were compared to measurements from the orifice meter under adverse conditions. The objectives of the study were to determine the ability of the clamp-on meters to diagnose abnormal flow conditions that can produce measurement errors in conventional orifice meter configurations, identify the flow profiles within the meter run, and quantify the orifice meter measurement error.
