A measuring device has at least one ultrasonic transducer and an evaluator for evaluating a measurement signal provided by the at least one ultrasonic transducer. The evaluator is set up to determine a first comparison signal, by comparing the measurement signal with a first switching threshold, and a second comparison signal, by comparing the measurement signal with a second switching threshold which is different from the first switching threshold, and to determine a signal amplitude of the measurement signal depending on the first and second comparison signal.

A device which: optically detects the presence of, measures the flow rate of, and identifies the characteristics of venting fugitive gas emissions. Specifically the device provides a spectral analysis of emission gas constituents; selective detection of the presence of venting hydrocarbons; measurement of venting emissions flow rates, the measurement of shut-in and flowing venting system pressures and the venting system temperatures. The flow rates are corrected, relative to the detection of the gas constituents and standard temperature and pressure (STP). These devices are configured to collect such data electronically and transmit via various telemetry systems, to a secure remote data network for reporting, access, evaluation, real-time monitoring and archiving as required.

In one embodiment, an electronic system comprises a display device to display data and processing logic coupled to the display device. The processing logic is configured to determine a duty cycle of at least one sensor for sensing flow of a product or particle through a product or particle line of an agricultural implement and to determine an amount of product or particles flowing through a line of the agricultural implement based on the duty cycle of the at least one sensor.

A method/structure for calibrating a product fluid flow device having one or more apertures with aggregate area A.sub.o, where fluid flows along a fluid flow path therethrough in response to pressure differentials ΔP across the apertures. Calibration is effected relative to a calibration fluid flow device having a geometry and operational parameters corresponding to those of the product fluid flow device. A piecewise curved calibration controller establishes calibration conditions and generates a discrete point calibration flow rate (dpCFR) Function by measuring at a sparse set of points in a range of interest and determining a piecewise curved mathematical representation of fluid flow through the calibration fluid flow device. Data representative of the CFR function is transferred to a product blade controller, which processes the mathematical representation, and controls fluid flow through product fluid flow device based on values extracted from the received dpCFR Function.

A clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter includes pairs of ultrasonic transducers arranged on an exterior of a pipeline, and an electronic measuring/operating circuit for operating the transducers and for registering and evaluating measurement signals and for providing measured values of volume flow or flow velocity. The pairs are implemented as 1-traverse or 2-traverse pairs. One-traverse pairs are arranged on opposite sides of the pipeline, and 2-traverse pairs are arranged on a same side of the pipeline. At least three pairs are arranged on the pipeline and are distributed peripherally. Adjoining pairs of a number of pairs have an inner angle down to a minimum inner angle (MIA) between one another measured about a pipeline axis, which minimum inner angle obeys the following relationship:

MIA=360°/(T*N*F(T,N))

with T as number of traverses and F(T,N)=0.38+0.62*T+(0.048−0.01*T{circumflex over ( )}2)*(N−2){circumflex over ( )}2.
