Ultrasonic meters are quickly becoming some of the most widely used meters in flow measurement. Currently ultrasonic meters are being utilized to measure natural gas, steam, air, water, liquid hydrocarbons, and various other fluids. Some of the major benefits of ultrasonic meters include the diagnostic capabilities, the fact that there is no obstruction to the flow stream, and the wide turndown capabilities of the meters.

The CEESI Iowa Natural Gas flow facility has been testing ultrasonic meters since 1998. This facility mainly provides calibrations that are in compliance with AGA Report Number 9 (full list of industry standards), although other calibration services are available upon request. CEESI also offers calibration services at the Colorado Air flow facility. This facility generally services smaller meters and meters that are not meant for high pressure applications. CEESI ultrasonic meter calibrations are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited.
