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.
