The flow meter is the metering equipment necessary in the natural gas pipeline system. For a long time, on natural gas pipeline systems, common flow meter forms are turbine flow meters, orifice plate flow meters, and the like. The mechanical metering equipment is complex in structure, and easy to cause blockage of a flow passage and rust of parts due to water vapor, particulate impurities and the like carried in the natural gas, so that the service life of the flowmeter can be reduced, and meanwhile, accurate metering is extremely unfavorable. The principle of the gas ultrasonic flowmeter is that the gas flow is obtained by utilizing the corresponding relation between the propagation speed of ultrasonic pulses in the gas flow and the speed of the gas flow, namely the propagation speed of ultrasonic pulses in the forward flow is faster than that in the backward flow, and the flow is larger as the propagation time difference of the two ultrasonic pulses is larger. In recent years, with the development of ultrasonic metering technology, the cost of an ultrasonic flowmeter is greatly reduced, and meanwhile, the core structure of the ultrasonic flowmeter is a circuit module and a transducer, so that the performance and the service life of the ultrasonic flowmeter are ensured not to be excessively influenced by a fluid medium, and the ultrasonic flowmeter has ideal metering accuracy under various working conditions and is now an internationally accepted natural gas metering device.
