Book Description

There is a tendency to make flow measurement a highly theoretical and technical subject but what most influences 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 have the most influence in obtaining quality measurement. This guide 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 book is dedicated to condensing and sharing the authors' extensive experience in solving flow measurement 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.





The authors' many years of experience are brought to bear in a thorough review of fluid flow measurement methods and applications.
Avoids theory and focuses on presentation of practical data for the novice and veteran engineer.
Useful for a wide range of engineers and technicians (as well as students) in a wide range of industries and applications.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Review of first edition:

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)

Book Description

Experienced author provides authoritative and practical advice that appeals to engineers who want to avoid detailed theory.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fluid Flow Measurement, Second Edition: A Practical Guide to Accurate Flow Measurement, August 14, 2009
This review is from: Fluid Flow Measurement, Second Edition: A Practical Guide to Accurate Flow Measurement (Hardcover)
This is a very good book if you are looking for a compact book in flow measurement. I think that this title is a very good way to get an outline in this matter, especially if you are focused in hints on the meter performance under field conditions, due to the large experience transmitted by the author.
