Description:
Thousands of international engineers have turned to this handbook for reliable and complete information on the selection, design, specification, and installation of flowmeters to measure liquid, gas, and steam flows within all engineering applications. Now the Third Edition brings you completely up to date, with new and expanded coverage of: The latest ISO, ASME, and ANSI-related standards--including guidelines for implementing them in your designs and installations. Meter influence quantities for all flowmeters; widely used flowmeters around the world, including thermal mass, GILFLO, "V" Cone, wedge flowmeter, Laminar Flow elements, and pilot tubes; The latest proposed orifice and nozzle… equations, complete with examples. As practical as it is authoritative, this handbook serves as a single-source guide for selecting, sizing, and performing pipe flow rate calculations. It features both customary and SI equations throughout... complete coverage of fluid properties and equations of state... key information on seven-place equation constants and simplifying equations... and includes many examples, graphs, tables, and practical applications to aid in decision making, improve job performance, and save time and expense. This comprehensive reference covers everything from industry-wide standards and practices, to specific descriptions and examples, to physical property data and installation requirements. As a result, this edition remains the standard reference in the field and is the only guide to flowmeter engineering that you'll ever need.
