A method and system of determining forthcoming failure of transducers. At
least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods comprising
creating a first electrical signal representative of acoustic energy
propagating between a first pair of transducers of a fluid meter,
creating a second electrical signal representative of acoustic energy
propagating between a second pair of transducers of the fluid meter (the
creating the second electrical signal substantially concurrently with
create the first electrical signal), calculating a value indicative of a
relationship between a parameter of the first electrical signal a
parameter of the second electrical signal, and determining whether
performance of the first pair of transducers indicates upcoming failure
of at least one transducer of the first pair of transducers, the
determining using the value.
