  • Ultrasonic flow metering with laminar to turbulent transition flow control
    Patent number: 10012521
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for ultrasonic flow metering of viscous fluids. In one embodiment, an ultrasonic flow metering system includes an ultrasonic flow meter, a flow conditioner, and a reducer. The ultrasonic flow meter includes a pair of ultrasonic transducers arranged to exchange ultrasonic signals through a fluid stream flowing between the transducers. The flow conditioner is disposed upstream of the ultrasonic flow meter. The reducer is disposed between the flow conditioner and the ultrasonic flow meter to reduce the cross sectional area of the fluid stream flowing from the flow conditioner to the ultrasonic flow meter.
    Type: Grant

  • Closely coupled, dual turbine volumetric flow meter
    Patent number: 5509305
    Abstract: A meter is provided for measuring the volumetric flow of a fluid in a conduit. The meter comprises a pair of turbine assemblies. Each of the turbine assemblies are adapted to have a speed of rotation representative of a volumetric fluid flow that is independent of the other turbine assembly. A flow randomizer is located between the pair of turbine assemblies. The flow randomizer is operable to eliminate substantially all flow effects of one of the turbine assemblies upon the other turbine assembly. Means are provided for transducing the speed of rotation of at least one of the turbine assemblies.
