Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Volumetric fluid flow in a cylindrical conduit is determined by measuring the average flow velocity or the fluid flowing through a chordal measuring path lying at a radial distance of 0.54R where R is the radius of the conduit. This average flow velocity is multiplied by constants related to the location or the chordal path and to the chordal path length. The average flow velocity measurement is made by the use of an ultrasonic flow meter having upstream and downstream transducers which define the chordal measuring path, Multiple measuring paths are preferred.
