Abstract

A method of measuring a flow rate of a fluid flowing along a path, the method comprising: transmitting successive pairs of periodic signals through the fluid, the respective signals of each pair being transmitted in opposite directions along, and from opposite ends of, the path; determining a difference in propagation times of each signal of each pair along the path; and determining a flow rate of fluid along the path based on the difference in propagation times of the signals of each pair along the path; wherein a phase of each signal is altered with respect to a phase of at least one other signal transmitted along the path.
