This document specifies requirements and recommendations for ultrasonic gas flowmeters (USMs),
which utilize the transit time of acoustic signals to measure the flow of single phase homogenous gases
in closed conduits.
This document applies to transit time ultrasonic gas flowmeters used for custody transfer and allocation
metering, such as full-bore, reduced-area, high-pressure, and low-pressure meters or any combination
of these. There are no limits on the minimum or maximum sizes of the meter. This document can be
applied to the measurement of almost any type of gas, such as air, natural gas, and ethane.
Included are flow measurement performance requirements for meters of two accuracy classes suitable
for applications such as custody transfer and allocation measurement.
This document specifies construction, performance, calibration, diagnostics for meter verification,
and output characteristics of ultrasonic meters for gas flow measurement and deals with installation
conditions.
NOTE It is possible that national or other regulations apply which can be more stringent than those in this
document.Cross References:ISO 5168ISO/IEC 17025lSO 4006IEC 60654-2IEC 61000-2-2IEC 61000-4-6IEC 60068-2-64IEC 61000-4-4IEC 61000-4-17ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007IEC 61000-4-5IEC 60068-2-30IEC 60068-3-8IEC 61000-4-8IEC 60068-2-31IEC 60068-3-4IEC 60068-2-78IEC 60068-2-47IEC 61000-4-2IEC 60068-2-6IEC 61000-4-3IEC 61000-4-29IEC 60512-14-7IEC 60068-2-18ISO 11631:1998ISO 9951:1993/COR 1:1994IEC 61000-6-2API MPMS 13.2:1996IEC 60068-2-1IEC 60529ISO 80000-4IEC 61000-6-1IEC 60068-3-1IEC 61000-4-1IEC 60068-2-2ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008IEC/TR 61000-2-1lSO 5167-1:2003IEC 61000-4-11All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
