Flare Ultrasonic Flow Meter
TSB supplies Flare Ultrasonic Flow Meters in Jordan for reliable measurement of flare gas flow in refineries, petrochemical plants, natural gas processing facilities and LNG applications. Ultrasonic technology provides accurate measurement across extremely wide flow ranges, including very low flare gas velocities during normal operation and rapid high-velocity flows during shutdown or emergency conditions.
The measuring principle uses ultrasonic transit-time measurement to determine gas velocity and flow without restricting the flare line. Advanced measurement and diagnostic capabilities also support monitoring of changing gas composition, gas losses and overall flare system performance.

Why Choose Flare Ultrasonic Flow Measurement?
Flare gas measurement is particularly challenging because flow velocity and gas composition can change dramatically within a very short period of time. Normal operation may involve extremely low flow, while plant shutdowns or emergency events can generate very high gas velocities.
Ultrasonic flare measurement provides the wide measuring range required to capture both conditions without introducing significant pressure loss or obstruction into the flare line.
Measurement of sound velocity and molecular weight also provides additional information about changing gas conditions, while integrated diagnostics continuously monitor instrument performance.
For plant operators, this provides reliable flare monitoring, improved loss detection, better process visibility and dependable measurement across changing operating conditions.
