Abstract: Ultrasonic clamp-on flow meters offer great flexibility to the user, this in part due to the fact that they are non-invasive and installed on the outside of a pipe. Applications used to be limited, but with the developments in transducer technology and the introduction of micro-processor based signal processing technology their reliability and range of measurement tasks have expanded to difficult hydrocarbon based liquids and gases. The evaluation of the gathered measurement data, and its reliability, are as important as the measuring values themselves. For this reason ultrasonic flow meters (USFM) inherently offer extensive self-diagnostic possibilities, both during the installation process as well as for long-term monitoring. This article presents these diagnostic capabilities as well as some of the special challenges some hydrocarbon based liquids and gas measurement pose for clamp-on USFMs.
