Custody-Transfer Ultrasonic Flowmeters
TSB supplies Custody-Transfer Ultrasonic Flowmeters in Jordan for highly accurate natural gas measurement in transmission pipelines, metering stations, storage facilities and onshore or offshore installations.
Using the ultrasonic transit-time difference principle, these meters measure gas velocity and volumetric flow without introducing mechanical moving parts into the flow stream. Multi-path configurations provide high measurement accuracy, redundancy and advanced diagnostics for fiscal and custody-transfer applications.

Why Choose Custody-Transfer Ultrasonic Flowmeters?
Custody-transfer gas measurement requires very low measurement uncertainty, high reliability and complete traceability, because even small measurement errors can create significant commercial differences at high flow rates.
Multi-path ultrasonic measurement provides accurate gas velocity measurement across the pipe cross-section while introducing virtually no restriction into the flow. This minimizes pressure loss and eliminates wear associated with mechanically moving metering elements.
Advanced diagnostics continuously monitor acoustic paths, gas conditions and measurement quality, helping operators identify changes in the process or meter condition before they affect measurement performance.
For gas transmission and distribution operators, this provides high measurement accuracy, minimal pressure loss, strong diagnostic capability and reliable long-term custody-transfer performance.
