Abstract
This paper illustrates the experimental results obtained in a volume f low rate measurement application performed in the water industry. A cl amp-on (transit time) portable ultrasonic flowmeter is compared to an in-line (or wetted) electromagnetic meter (used as a master meter). Bo th meters are mounted in series along a long stretch of pipe in a wate r distribution network. This in situ comparison gives satisfactory res ults, since the measurements provided by the two flowmeters are substa ntially in accordance.
