Abstract: An ultrasonic meter (28) for measuring a flow-rate of a fluid is described. The ultrasonic meter (28) includes a flow conduit (5) for the fluid. The flow conduit (5) extends along a first axis (6) between a first opening (7) and a second opening (8). The ultrasonic meter (28) also includes one or more pairs of ultrasonic transducers (2, 3). Each pair of ultrasonic transducers (2, 3) is configured to define a corresponding beam path (9) intersecting the flow conduit (5) within a measurement region (12) of the flow conduit (5). The measurement region (12) spans between a first position (z1) and a second position (z2) spaced apart along the first axis (6). One or more portions of the measurement region (12) which are outside of any of the one or more beam paths (9) correspond to non-sampled volumes (12b). The ultrasonic meter (28) also includes one or more protrusions (34) extending along the first axis (6).

Abstract: An ultrasonic meter configured to operate in multiple classes is provided including a flowtube having an inlet at a first end and an outlet at a second end, opposite the first end; and first and second face to face transducers, the first transducer being positioned at the first end of the flowtube and the second transducer being positioned at the second end of the flowtube, wherein the first and second face to face transducers are positioned in line with flow through the ultrasonic meter. Related flowtubes are also provided herein.
