Abstract: Last years the number of applications for fiscal metering of oil (-products) with a multi beam ultrasonic flowmeters has been increased significantly. The growing interest for this type of fiscal metering is mainly due to specific advantages. Besides the high accuracy and complete independence of viscosity, the long-term stability is very good. These attractive properties are a result of an essentially different measuring principle. Multi beam ultrasonic flowmeters can be smoothly used in installations on the continent. In limited spaced offshore applications some specific features of an ultrasonic flowmeter must be taken into account, in the system design, to stay within the NPD repeatability requirements for turbine meters. This article explains how to realise a successful application of a multi beam ultrasonic flowmeter in situations with a small prover volume. This is explained starting from the fundamental measuring principle of an ultrasonic flowmeter. The paper is finished with a consideration of the future developments and some conclusions.
