Contents:
Fluid mechanics essentials -- Specification, selection and audit -- Calibration -- Orifice plate meters -- Venturi meter and standard nozzles -- Critical flow Venturi nozzle -- Other momentum-sensing meters -- Positive displacement flowmeters -- Turbine and related flowmeters -- Vortex shedding, swirl and fluidic flowmeters -- Electromagnetic flowmeters -- Magnetic resonance flowmeters -- Ultrasonic flowmeters -- Acoustic and sonar flow methods -- Mass flow measurement using multiple sensors for single-phase flows 6,044 -- Multiphase flowmeters -- Thermal flowmeters -- Angular momentum devices -- Coriolis flowmeters -- Probes for local velocity measurement in liquids and gases -- Verification and in situ methods for checking calibration -- Remote data access systems -- Final considerations.
Summary: Flow Measurement Handbook is a reference for engineers on flow measurement techniques and instruments. It strikes a balance between laboratory ideas and realities of field experience and provides practical advice on design, operation and performance of flowmeters. It begins with a review of essentials: accuracy, flow, selection and calibration methods. Each chapter is then devoted to a flowmeter class and includes information on design, application installation, calibration and operation. Among the flowmeters discussed are differential pressure devices such as orifice and Venturi, volumetric flowmeters such as positive displacement, turbine, vortex, electromagnetic, magnetic resonance, ultrasonic, acoustic, multiphase flowmeters and mass meters, such as thermal and Coriolis. There are also chapters on probes, verification and remote data access.
