Overview
By: Roger C. Baker
OVERVIEW
This book is aimed at the busy practitioner, who is faced with a flow measurement problem and requires enough information to assess the advice received from manufacturers and to contribute to discussions with experts.
The previous editions of this book have been widely used for over 13 years. In this new edition, the author retains the succinctness of the earlier books, by removing material which was of marginal value, and by referring readers who require more detailed information to other resources.
The first U.S. edition, published by ASME Press, includes ASME Code references, which were not included in previous British editions of the book.
Synopsis
Written for practicing engineers, this concise guide discusses the operation, installation, and application of existing flowmeters, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Baker (credentials not listed) devotes chapters to topics like calibration, selection, the measure of differential pressure, volumetric flowmeters, mass flowmeters, probes and tracers, and recent developments and future trends.
