โฆ Synopsis
A new prototype of ultrasonic flowmeter used in the oil well is presented. The flowmeter depends on the time delay between the propagating times of the downstream and upstream ultrasonic pulses. The ultrasonic passageway is slanted to prevent the disadvantage introduced by the high viscosity of the oil. Two method of time delay estimation: threshold and cross-correlation are both studied and realized.

This paper illustrates the experimental results obtained in a volume flow rate measurement application performed in the water industry. A clamp-on (transit time) portable ultrasonic flowmeter is compared to an in-line (or wetted) electromagnetic meter (used as a master meter). Both meters are mounte
