Opis

The book describes the origin, principle of operation, development, advantages and disadvantages, applications, and frontiers of research for new-technology flowmeters: Coriolis, magnetic, ultrasonic, vortex, and thermal. It focuses on the newer, faster growing flowmeter markets, while placing them in the context of more traditional meters.

Recenzje

"The way each technology is laid out and expressed in fairly simple technical terms allows the reader to quickly grasp what makes each approach unique and applicable across the unlimited number of application conditions where measuring flow is a necessity." - Dan McQueen, Fluid Components International LLC

"The topics run smoothly from one sector to the next. [It] raises the fundamental question as to what is flow and then further expands on this by outlining how it is used in the process industries. The book is very well-written and experts in flow technology will find it interesting and insightful." - Paul Warner, Editor, Fluid Handling Magazine
