Product Description This volume is an information-packed reference for engineers on flow measuring techniques and instruments. Striking a balance between laboratory ideal and the realities of field experience, this handy tool provides a wealth of practical advice on the design, operation, and performance of a broad range of flowmeters. The book begins with a brief review of fluid mechanics principles, how to select a flowmeter, and a variety of calibration methods. Each of the following chapters is devoted to a class of flowmeters and includes detailed information on design, applications, installation, calibration, operation, and advantages and disadvantages. Among the flowmeters discussed are orifice plate meters, venturi meter and standard nozzles, critical flow venturi nozzles, positive displacement flowmeters, turbine and related flowmeters, vortex shedding and fluidic flowmeters, electromagnetic flowmeters, ultrasonic flowmeters, and coriolis flowmeters. Also covered are mass flow measurements using multiple sensors, thermal flowmeters, angular momentum devices, probes, and modern control systems. Many chapters conclude with an appendix on the theory behind the techniques discussed. It will be a valuable reference for practicing engineers and will also be of interest to researchers in mechanical, chemical and aerospace engineering. | ||

Great book about flow measurement This book is great for those that work in flow area and even for the advance workers in this area. A lot of explanation about the differents methods of flow measument. Explain the best choice of flow measurement depending on your application. Some aspet that i don't like is the type of author write, he always put some technical paper reference and some times the subject stays a little bit confuse. Other thing is about paddlewheel and thermal measurement wasn't explore a lot, especially paddlewheel that have been used a lot in this days. | ||
A tool for writing specifications on flow instruments This book condenses many latest papers on flow instruments into useful but brief information for instrument engineers working in industry. I found it very useful for writing flow instrument procurement and design specifications. The materials described for each type of flow instrument can prepare the engineers in a short time (within 2 - 3 days) to become a knowledgeable person in the specific area including the latest development in flow measurement. A book I carried to work without showing it to my colleaques. | ||
