Grishanova I.A., Pokras S.I., Pokras A.I. Ultrasonic flowmetering: expensive exotics or a modern measurement technique.

The paper evaluates the existing techniques of heat carrier flowmetering and especially discerns electromagnetic and ultrasonic methods. Despite the prevalent opinion about the superiority of electromagnetic flowmeters, they have multiple drawbacks that seriously narrow their measurement range and decrease the instrument service life. At the same time, ultrasonic flowmeters wrongly pushed off to background because of their slightly higher price and worse measurement performance, were significantly developed in recent years and can now successfully compete against electromagnetic devices.
