Abstract: Ultrasonic meters are now, and have been for some time, the measurement technology of choice for pipeline custody transfer applications. This technology is also appearing more and more in the upstream and the distribution market segments as well as a measurement solution. It is not hard to imagine that every molecule of gas consumed in the US has passed through an ultrasonic gas meter at some point in time along its journey. It is important for individuals in the measurement industry to understand this technology and the advantages ultrasonic meters have to offer. Ultrasonic meters offer a host of diagnostics that are unmatched by other technologies. This paper will review the basic technology used in multipath chordal ultrasonic meters commonly found in custody transfer applications. It will also discuss some of the diagnostic information they can provide and how this information may be interpreted to provide an indication of the meter and of the meter runs health.
