Flow Measurement: Practical Guides for Measurement and Control

This volume surveys the entire array of flowmeters available, and proposes strategies for solving problems in the field of flow measurement. Emphasis is placed on the importance of accuracy in measurements, ways of ensuring accuracy and methods of avoiding equipment damage. Fundamental considerations such as mixed-phase flow, piping effects and flow conditioning are examined in detail. The problem of attaining a meaningful flow signal through linearization, compensation and totalization is also discussed.
