Ultrasonic meter inspection services include:

  • Collection and review of meter log files including speed of sound (SOS), signal acceptance rate, gain and gain limit data
  • Comparison of previous months trend or baseline logs to current test data to detect any change in performance which would indicate special maintenance is required to avert meter failure
  • Temperature and pressure values are verified and transmitters are calibrated where required and
  • Where online GC is associated, gas quality data is verified to ensure accurate SOS calculations
