3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Meters Operations Manual Section 4: Flow measurement

Volumetric flow rate 29
4.5 Volumetric flow rate
The Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter meter provides three volumetric flow rate
values: raw, (expansion-corrected and/or profile-effect corrected) flow-condition, and base-
condition. Note that a positive volumetric flow rate indicates flow in the forward direction
whereas a negative volumetric flow rate indicates flow in the reverse direction.
4.5.1 Raw volumetric flow rate
The “raw” volumetric flow rate is calculated from the average gas flow velocity (wet-calibration
gas flow velocity) as shown in Equation 4-8.
Equation 4-8 Raw volumetric flow rate
where
4.5.2 Flow-condition volumetric flow rate
The flow-condition volumetric flow rate is the result of applying expansion correction and flow-
profile correction to the raw volumetric flow rate as shown in Equation 4-9 subject to the low-
flow cut-off. If the resulting value is below the low-flow cut-off value, it is set to zero. The low-flow
cut-off volumetric flow rate (
CutRate) is the specified low-flow velocity threshold (ZeroCut)
converted to a volumetric flow rate.
