Mass Flow Measurement

Mass Flow Measurement

Mass Flow Measurement describes how Coriolis flowmeters, thermal flowmeters, mass flow controllers and multivariable flowmeters function. It explains how and why these flowmeters were developed, illustrates how they work and the applications and ways in which they are used, and explores what to expect in terms of future development.

Covering flowmeters that specifically measure mass flow, the book discusses why flow measurement is important for measuring gas flow and any fluid whose quantity is affected by temperature and pressure. Coriolis mass flow controllers measure mass directly, but many also contain a valve for control purposes, as they are widely used in semiconductor and industrial environments. It also introduces multivariable flowmeters, which measure volumetric flow and then compensate for temperature and pressure.

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