ABSTRACT:
Selected variables of a fluid flowing through a conduit are measured by transmitting acoustic pulses through the conduit wall and fluid stream along normal and oblique transmission paths between acoustic transducers located externally of the conduit, measuring the transit times of the pulses between the transducers, and combining these transit times with certain conduit and transducer parameters according to predetermined mathematical relationships to obtain the values of the variables. The variables which may be measured are flow velocity, mass flow rate, sonic velocity of the fluid, fluid compressibility, fluid temperature, and fluid density.
