Abstract
An apparatus for measuring fluid flow includes a housing, a first ultrasonic transducer, and a fluid flow path. The housing defines a smooth bore and a first cavity. The first cavity is separated from a fluid that flows through the smooth bore. The first ultrasonic transducer is disposed within the first cavity and transmits an ultrasonic pulse through the fluid. The fluid flow path extends from an upstream intake through the cavity.
