BS 7965:2013 Guide to the selection, installation, operation and calibration of diagonal path transit time ultrasonic flowmeters for industrial gas applications
This British Standard gives recommendations and guidance on the selection, installation, operation and calibration of transit time ultrasonic flowmeters (USMs) for industrial gas applications (including flare gas).
It is applicable only to those devices in which the entire gas stream flows through the body of the USM and the transducers (wetted or invasive type), or a wetted interface, are in contact with the fluid. This includes full-bore/reduced-bore and insertion type meters employing direct or reflective paths. It is also applicable to "dirty gases", i.e. those contaminated with solids and/or liquids in sufficiently small quantities, depending upon the application.
It is not applicable to clamp-on/externally mounted, domestic or stack/chimney (combustion exhaust) meters.
