5.0 out of 5 stars From an Industrial Practitioner of Process Measurement & Control, July 10, 2006

This review is from: Industrial Flow Measurement (Hardcover)

This book is designed to help practicing engineers avoid costs associated with misapplication of flowmeters, this newly revised text reviews the important concepts of flow measurement and provides explanations, practical considerations, illustrations, and examples of current flowmeter technology.

Modern flowmeters handle many more applications than could have been imagined centuries ago. Today's flow measurements encompass operating conditions that range from capillary blood flow, flows over spillways, flow of gases, plasmas, pseudo-plastics, solids, and corrosives, to name but a few.

Finally, the book presents a rational procedure for flowmeter selection that is based on factual information. Effective flowmeter selection requires a thorough understanding of flowmeter technology in addition to a practical knowledge of the process and the fluid. This book will help experienced engineers, technicians and others evaluate the appropriate criteria rationally to arrive at the proper flowmeter selection.

I am an Industrial Practitioner of Process Control. I have been working for more than 16 years as an Instrumentation, Automation, and Process Safety and Control Engineer for the Oil & Gas Industry. I have made extensive use of this book in conjunction with Bela Liptak's "Instruments Engineer's Handbook Volume 1 - Process Measurement and Analysis", in order to solve problems and take decisions in my day to day job.
