There are two types of ultrasonic flow meters, doppler and time of flight. The doppler technology is an older technology and is suited for flows which have air bubbles or solids in the line. Time of flight is a new technology and is designed for clean flows with little or no disturbances in the line. For example, the waste water industry would generally use a doppler flow meter while the city water district would use a time of flight meter.
