1.5 3818 LNG Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter design
The Daniel 3818 LNG Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter is a remote mount, dual transmitter
electronics, eight-path (sixteen transducers) in-line meter designed to measure the difference in
signal transit time with and against the flow across one or more measurement path(s). A signal
transmitted with the direction of flow travels faster than one transmitted against the flow
direction. Each measurement path is defined by a transducer pair in which each transducer
alternately acts as transmitter and receiver. The meter uses transit time measurements and
transducer location information to calculate the mean velocity.
