Claim 6:
7. The fluid flow meter of claim 6, further comprising a processing element in electrical communication with the at least one ultrasonic transducer, wherein the processing element is configured to: actuate the first ultrasonic transducer to emit a first chirp;
receive a first detection time of the first chirp from the second ultrasonic transducer;
actuate the second ultrasonic traducer to emit a second chirp;
receive a second detection time of the second chirp from the first ultrasonic transducer;
determine a first time of flight corresponding to the first chirp, a second time of flight corresponding to the second chirp, and a time of flight difference between the first time of flight and the second time of flight; and
determine a volumetric flow rate in the fluid pipe based on an environmental correction parameter, the first time of flight, the second time of flight, and the time of flight difference.
