A method of determining flowrate of a fluid (7) in a pipe is disclosed. The flowrate is determined using a flowmeter having first and second ultrasonic transducers (10; FIG. 8A) separated along the pipe by a given distance (D; FIG. 1) and inclined so that waves in the fluid propagate at a given path angle (θ; FIG. 1). For a given inner pipe diameter (d; FIG. 1), there is a given integer number of reflections between the first and second ultrasonic transducers. The method comprises obtaining flow rate measurements using wave packets (18) corresponding to an integer number of reflections which is less than said given number.
