Abstract: Ultrasonic flow meters have been employed in the Oil & Gas industries for many years. Since their inception in the early seventies many advancements in the technology have been made with regard to available configurations, electronics offered and sensor design. Today ultrasonic meters have proven to be reliable, versatile and capable of meeting the demands of the Oil & Gas markets. It is clear, however, that various ultrasonic flow meter technologies have different advantages with regards to design and application use that ultimately makes one or more appropriate than the other. Frequently, these differences can lead to misapplication and/or limited satisfaction by the end users. This paper will describe and outline the various technologies available in todays market and review each advantage / disadvantage along with the benefits of each type of design and technology. Basically, there are two forms of ultrasonic flow measurement, transit-time and Doppler. For the purposes of this paper, transit-time will be explored simply because almost all technology advancements have been focused on the transit-time technology and because it is the primary technology of choice used in the Oil & Gas industry.
