Fluid flow measurement 2nd ed.

This unique book brings the author's many years of field experience to bear in a thorough review of practical fluid flow measurement methods and applications. The book avoids theory and concentrates instead on helping the reader review all the relevant data 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.

Those with limited experience in flow measurement will find the review of concepts extremely useful. The experienced reader will find invaluable guidelines and often overlooked factors that apply in the practice of flow measurement but which are not found in the many theoretical reviews and industrial standards.

Fluid Flow Measurement begins with a review of basic laws and principles. This is followed by an overview of the physical characteristics and behavior of gases and liquids. "Flow" itself is then examined and various "real-world" limitations to metering are discussed. The second half of the book examines applications of specific meters, readout and related devices, and proving systems.
