The applications where clamp-on meters have been successfully applied include temporary measurement while a primary device is unavailable and diagnosing abnormal flow behaviors. The objective of this project was to examine existing public literature concerning the operation and application of clamp-on ultrasonic meters and to use this information to create a guideline document for these meters. As part of the process of establishing the guidelines document, the most significant areas where experimental results are lacking were to be identified. A total of only 20 documents in the public domain were discovered concerning clamp-on ultrasonic meters. These documents were summarized and the important conclusions were drawn from the documents and used to help create a draft guidelines document for the use of clamp-on ultrasonic meters in gas applications. The guidelines provide an overview of different geometric, operational, and installation effects that can affect the operation of clamp-on ultrasonic meters. A number of areas without substantial experimental results were identified and testing was recommended to systematically establish the performance envelope for one size of clamp-on ultrasonic meters. The suggested testing was intended as a first step in reducing the gaps in meter performance data.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRCI Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44361920806990,"sku":"56128","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/prci-store.myshopify.com\/products\/pr-015-08611-r01-development-of-clamp-on-ultrasonic-meter-installation-guidelines","provider":"PRCI Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
