Fluid flow measurement

This book shows engineers how to turn theory into practice with realistic advice... valuable guidelines and often overlooked factors that apply in the practice of flow measurement but which are not found in many reviews and industrial standards." Plant Engineering Magazine.There is a tendency to make flow measurement a highly theoretical and technical subject, but what most influ-ences quality measurement is the practical application of meters, metering principles and metering equipment, and the use of quality equipment that can continue to function through the years with proper maintenance. Fluid Flow Measurement, second edition, provides a review of basic laws and principles, an overview of physical characteristics and behavior of gases and liquids, and a look at the dynamics of flow. The authors examine applications of specific meters, readout and related devices, and proving systems. Practical guidelines for the meter in use, condition of the fluid, details of the entire metering system, installation and operation, and the timing and quality of maintenance are also included.This guide is dedicated to condensing and sharing the authors' extensive experience in solving flow measure-ment problems with design engineers, operating personnel (from top supervisors to the newest testers), academically-based engineers, engineers of the manufacturers of flow meter equipment, worldwide practitioners, theorists, and people just getting into the business.
