ASME MFC-5.3 Measurement of Liquid Flow in Closed Conduits Using Doppler Ultrasonic Flowmeters
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
ASME | 2013 | 24 |
This Standard applies only to ultrasonic flowmeters that base their operation on the reflection of acoustic waves, frequently referred to as a Doppler flowmeter. The flow measurement utilizes either frequency or time domain techniques. This Standard concerns the volume flowrate measurement of a liquid dominant fluid with steady flow or flow varying only slowly with time in a completely filled closed conduit.
