Zusammenfassung:	A method and system for determining a time-of-flight in an integrated flow meter, can include a housing including an inlet port and an outlet port, and a group of flow tubes connected in parallel to each other. Each flow tube among the group of flow tubes can include two or more transducers that can measure upstream and downstream time-of-flight. Each flow tube can further include one or more outlets connected to the outlet port of the housing via an outlet channel. A controller can be connected electronically to the transducers, wherein the controller is operable to measure the time-of-flight in a flow tube for a predetermined time using the transducers, toggle between the transducers of each flow tube to measure the remaining flow tubes within a predetermined time and determine the overall flow rate of the group of flow tubes in the integrated flow meter.
