Flow measurement engineering handbook

Book ·
OSTI ID:6037678
This book provides guidelines for developing the latest ISO and ANSI standards into practical U.S. and SI unit engineering equations for liquid, gas and steam flow, and also for selecting, sizing, and performing pipe flow rate calculations. The areas covered include fluid properties, pressure and temperature measurement and equipment, flow and reference measurement accuracy, flowmeter selection and operation, design and installation requirements for differential producers, volumetric and mass flow rate equations, fixed geometry flowmeters, measured and unmeasured variables, and engineering equations for critical nozzle venturis and thick orifice flowmeters. In addition, operation principles, flow equations, and examples are given for turbines, vortex, and positive displacements pulse output type meters.
