Conventional Flowmeters: Volume II

Conventional Flowmeters  covers origin, principle of operation, development, advantages and  disadvantages, applications, and frontiers of research for conventional  technology flowmeters, which include differential pressure and primary  elements, positive displacement, turbine, open channel, and variable  area.

There are more conventional technology meters  being used in the field than new-technology meters. New developments,  such as more accurate pressure transmitters, new primary elements such  as cone elements, reversible flow, and dual rotor turbine meters, and  variable area meters with transmitters and a signal output, are  discussed.

Features:

• Offers  a working knowledge of the origin and development of the more  traditional technology flowmeters: differential pressure and primary  elements, positive displacement, turbine, open channel, and variable  area
• Describes how these conventional meters still fit into what is being called Industry 4.0
• Discusses  the advantages and disadvantages of conventional technology meters and  provides a rationale for retaining or replacing these meters
• Focuses on the origin, development operating principles, and applications for the meters
• Explores  the development of each conventional flowmeter type, including the  roles of companies such as Siemens, ABB, Emerson, Foxboro, KROHNE, and  Endress+Hauser

This book is designed for  anyone involved with flowmeters and instrumentation, including product  and marketing managers, strategic planners, application engineers, and  distributors.
