Daniel SeniorSonic and JuniorSonic Gas Flow Meters

with Mark III Electronics

Smart Measurement Technologies

Daniel SeniorSonic Gas Flow Meter is designed for

natural gas custody transfer where high accuracy and
long-term, reliable performance is critical. It utilizes
Mark III Electronics, Customer Ultrasonic Interface (CUI)
software, and optional features for exceptional flow
measurement. This advanced 4-path chordal meter helps
customers reduce lost and unaccounted natural gas with
exceptional accuracy and linearity throughout the flow
range.

Features and Benefits

SeniorSonic four-path chordal design allows accuracy,

Daniel JuniorSonic Gas Flow Meter also utilizes Mark III

Electronics, the same Customer Ultrasonic Interface (CUI)
software, and supports the same optional features as the
SeniorSonic meter. Its bounce design was developed
for accurate flow measurement of non-custody transfer
applications such as production measurement, gas
storage, and wet gas applications.

Excellent long-term performance reduces

Both meters measure transit times of ultrasonic pulses

passing through the gas. Upstream and downstream
measurement times are accurately measured, and the
difference is directly proportional to the velocity and
volume of flowing natural gas. The SeniorSonic flow
meter measures transit times on four parallel chords, while
the JuniorSonic flow meter measures flow by bouncing
a signal across the meter in one and two path meter
designs. Each path is comprised of ultrasonic transducers
that act alternately as transmitter and receiver.

stability, redundancy, and operational cost savings

JuniorSonic one-path or two-path, single bounce

designs provide a lower cost solution for production

measurement, gas storage, and wet gas applications
where fiscal measurement is not required, the twopath design provides redundancy for more critical
applications
maintenance costs

High rangeability of >100:1 means fewer meter runs,

smaller line sizes, and lower capital costs

Customer Ultrasonic Interface (CUI) software offers

easy-to-use and learn Windows based meter interface,

reduces time to commission a new meter, and
simplifies routine maintenance

Mark III Electronics provides fast sampling and output,

an expandable electronics platform, ease-of-use, and

an archive data log which enables the reading of audit,
alarm, system, hourly, and daily log information

Machined, cast body construction for the SeniorSonic is

virtually insensitive to measurement uncertainty caused
by changes in pressure

Extractable transducers for ease of inspection

The addition of the Series 100 Plus Board provides

a direct input of pressure, temperature, and gas

composition into the meter which allows the meter
to act as a redundant flow computer; it calculates
corrected volume rates, mass rates, energy rates, and
AGA 10 speed of sound*

Typical Applications
Custody transfer
Power plants
Large industrial users
Production
Underground storage sites
Offshore

The Series 100 Plus Board allows the meter to

communicate directly with a digital plant architecture

via the HART protocol, such as PlantWeb , or a 375
Field Communicator.

*Optional (requires software key)

Calculating Meter Capacity

To calculate a volume rate for a given velocity, first find the capacity in this table for the meter size and operating pressure.
Next, multiply the capacity by the ratio of the desired velocity divided by 100 ft/s to obtain the desired volume rate.
Example: Determine the hourly flow rate at 70 ft/s for an 8-inch meter operating at 800 psig.
Flow Rate = 7635 MSCFH
Velocity = 70 ft/s
Answer =
7635 MSCFH x 70 ft/s = 5344 MSCFH

100 ft/s

Metric Units

These tables can be used to determine the flow range at reference conditions for all meter sizes. All calculations are based on
Schedule 40 bore, 15C and typical gas composition. These values are intended to be a guide in sizing. Contact Daniel engineering

Calculating Meter Capacity

To calculate a volume rate for a given velocity, first find the capacity in this table for the meter size and operating pressure. Next,
multiply the capacity by the ratio of the desired velocity divided by 30 m/s to obtain the desired volume rate.
Example:Determine the hourly flow rate at 21 m/s for an 8 inch meter operating at 4500 kPag.
Flow Rate = 171.6 MSCMH
Velocity = 21 m/s
Answer = 171.6 MSCMH x 21 m/s = 120.12 MSCMH
30 m/s

Recommended Installation

The drawings below represent recommended piping lengths with or without Daniel flow conditioners when installed with
the Daniel SeniorSonic flowmeter. If shorter lengths are used there may be an increase in flow measurement uncertainty.
