1. A fluid measuring system comprising:
a piping network comprising;
a flexible hydraulic hose comprising:
a hose length;
a hose diameter
a first end portion and a second end portion; and
a first fitting coupled to the first end portion and a second fitting coupled to the second end portion;
an acoustic array comprising:
a first acoustic pressure sensor positioned proximate the first fitting;
a second acoustic pressure sensor positioned proximate the second fitting; and
an acoustic aperture that spans an aperture length between the first acoustic pressure sensor and the second acoustic pressure sensor; and
a processing unit that determines a speed of sound of a process fluid within the piping network and within acoustic aperture using the first acoustic pressure sensor and the second acoustic pressure sensor.
