Description:

Applications of modern flow measurement systems are presented. Flowmeter accuracy, performance, sizing, specification, selection, and installation considerations are covered. Focus is on productivity improvement, cost efficiencies of measurement and control, and whether, when, and how to use the technologies looking at measuring flow, the effect of fluid properties and engineering practices required to optimize flowmeter performance. The course includes practical examples of flow meter selection and problem solutions, with emphasis on basic principles or alternative technologies based on class preference.

You will be able to:

  • Describe principles of operation on specific flowmeter technologies
  • Apply flowmeters in process applications
  • Understand the effect of changing process conditions
  • Understand installation requirements and recommended practices
  • Evaluate flow instrument performance
  • Specify and select the appropriate flowmeter for your applications
  • Solve typical flowmeter problems
  • Understand calibration methods and the effect of errors on meter performance
  • Size flow elements for specific applications

You will cover:

  • Engineering Practices: fluid flow and physical properties
  • Technology section convering the following types of flowmeters:
  • Differential Pressure Flowmeters: Orifice Plate Flowmeters | Other Technologies
  • Magnetic Flowmeters: Construction | Operating Constraints
  • Mass Flowmeters: Coriolis Mass Flowmeters
  • Oscillatory Flowmeters: Fluidic | Vortex Shedding
  • Positive Displacement Flowmeters: Helical Gear | Nutating Disc | Other Technologies
  • Ultrasonic Flowmeters: Principles of Operation | Installation Considerations
  • Insertion Flowmeters: Available Technologies | Operating Constraints
  • Flowmeter Selection: Types | Selection Criteria; Installation practices and maintenance issues
