Abstract: One of the reasons which impede applications of ultrasonic beam deflection flowmeters is their calibration that usually needs to be performed across the whole range of measured flow rates.

Transverse opening in a beam has a reducing effect of the beam stiffness which will cause a significant increase in beam deflection in the region on the opening. In this paper, a new stiffness matrix ...
