Summary:A self-checking ultrasonic flow meter for measuring fluid flow in a conduit which includes a plurality of transducers engaged with the conduit. The flow meter includes a signal processor in electrical communication with the transducers which produces a measurement of flow rate and an associated estimate of uncertainty due to changes that have affected the accuracy of the measured flow rate. The transducers form multiple transducer pairs positioned to form acoustic transmission paths that are co-located in two or more chordal measurement planes. A method for measuring fluid flow in a conduit with an ultrasonic flow meter.
