Abstract: Ultrasonic flowmeters (USMs) have been used within the fiscal side of the oil & gas industry for at least 25 years. During this time a wealth of experience and understanding of the capabilities of this technology has been documented in journal articles and in numerous papers from various conferences around the world. USMs were identified early on as having potential for condition-based monitoring (CBM), where the user makes use of the diagnostic data provided by the USM to target manual interventions where required. Once collected and analysed, the data can be used to determine when flow calibration should be scheduled (condition- based calibration). USMs vary widely in design which creates complexity in understanding design characteristics and interpreting certain diagnostic parameters. Whilst the information is available in literature, it could be a lengthy task for the metering engineer to find and review all this information.
