Introduction
– The ultrasonic gas flow meter Q.Sonicplus is a six-path meter covered by an ‘enhanced’ Elster-Instromet patent, with extended functionality, bringing about new benefits for the end user, along with greater processing power that yields a lower measurement uncertainty. The patented path configuration—a fully symmetrical layout of four swirl paths with double reflection and two single reflection paths—enables the measurement of both swirl and asymmetry, resulting in previously unequalled profile recognition and diagnostic possibilities.
Features & Benefits
- 6-path reflective technology
- Sizes 3” to 36”—larger sizes available upon request (DN 80 to DN 900)
- Pressure ratings ANSI class 150 to 1500 PN on request
- All-metal-encapsulated intrinsically safe transducers
- Internal temperature sensor
- Flow profile detection with swirl and asymmetry measurement
- No moving parts
- No pressure drop
- Bi-directional measurement
- SonicExplorer PC software for configuration, diagnostics and health care
- OIML R137-1 compliant
- AGA 9 compliant
- MID approved.
- VDSL range extender for high-speed communication (TCP/IP)
- Pressure sensor for Reynolds corrections
- Retraction tool for transducer exchange ‘under pressure.’

Applications
♦ Custody transfer measurement of natural gas
♦ Gas exploration, transmission and distribution
Another innovation of the Q.Sonicplus is that it can be equipped with an internal pressure and temperature measurement function. This means that the device measures both the gas pressure and temperature of the measuring tube. On the one hand, these measurements allow for a more accurate calculation of the Reynolds number for the flow profile analysis and on the other, they can be used to correct the meter body diameter and path geometry. This is useful if the process conditions differ massively from the conditions during the calibration process since both high pressure and high temperatures result in an increase in the tube cross-section and a change in path lengths and angles.
