scope:

This Standard applies only to ultrasonic flowmeters that base their operation on the measurement of transit times of acoustic signals. Further, this Standard concerns only the application of such meters when used to measure the volumetric flow rate of a liquid exhibiting homogeneous acoustic properties and flowing in a completely filed closed conduit.

Not covered by this Standard are ultrasonic flowmeters that derive volumetric flow rate from measurements of the deviation, scattering (Doppler flowmeter), or correlation of acoustic signals.
