Computer simulations of various velocity profiles demonstrate that four measurement paths
provide an optimum solution for measuring asymmetric flow. The Daniel 3814 Liquid Ultrasonic
Meter utilizes four cross-bore, parallel-plane measurement paths to offer a high degree of
accuracy, repeatability, and superior low-flow capabilities without the compromises associated
with conventional technologies. These features make the Daniel 3814 Liquid Ultrasonic Meter
the best choice for custody transfer applications.
The Daniel 3814 Liquid Ultrasonic Meter technology can be applied to custody transfer flow
measurement applications as shown in the following section.
