In reality, these sections are rarely read,because the general information adds little

28、 or nothing to the overall technical con-tent of the book.Often, that which is not presented can be a books most valuable lesson. Con-sider giving a person clear, verbal directions on how to get from one location toanother, understanding that the route may not be the shortest. Teach that same per-so

29、n how to read a map, and he or she can determine the best route to anywhere inthe world.The content of this book is a “map” comprised of numerous pieces of infor-mation that supply the answers to questions that provide an understanding of thesubject. Knowing when to read this “map” entails intimate

30、knowledge of the pro-cess and the laws that govern it.Most individuals succumb to pressure and are content to find the quick solu-tion to a perceived problem. This approach usually yields less than optimumresults and may even camouflage real problems.To effectively apply information, one must think.

31、 Even though most individu-als are capable of logical though, the process of defining the real problem beforefinding a solution occurs far too infrequently. The real problem and a good solu-tion thereto must be determined before one can decide whether the content of thisbook is truly applicable and

Some tech-nologies have survived, while others have fallen by the wayside or have neverbeen comme

44、rcially developed. Physical phenomena discovered centuries agohave been the starting point for many viable flowmeter designs. In recent years,technical developments in other fields, namely in optics, acoustics, and electro-magnetism, have resulted not only in improved sensor designs but also in newf

45、lowmeter concepts.This technology “explosion” has enabled modern flowmeters to handle manymore applications than could have been imagined centuries ago. Todays flowmeasurements encompass operating conditions that range form capillary bloodflow to flows over spillways, flows of gases, plasmas, pseudo

46、-plastics, solids, andcorrosives, to name but a few.Effective flowmeter selection requires a thorough understanding of flowmetertechnology in addition to a practical knowledge of the process and the fluid beingmeasured. The difficulty in bringing these two facts of flow measurement to bearon a pract

47、ical application is challenging even to experienced engineers, techni-cians, and sales personnel.ObjectivesThe primary objective of this text is to review the important concepts of flow mea-surement and to provide explanations, practical considerations, illustrations, andexamples of existing flowmet

48、er technologies. The ultimate goal is to present arational procedure for flowmeter selection based on factual information. The title,Industrial Flow Measurement, was chosen to emphasize the goal of presenting theknowledge with which practical and precise industrial measurements can bemade. A purely

49、mathematical treatment of flowmeters is avoided in favor of heu-ristic explanations of the principles and installation considerations involved andhow they apply to a given flowmeter.Spitzer04.book Page 1 Monday, August 30, 2004 10:15 PM2 Industrial Flow MeasurementPrerequisites and AudienceThis text is intended as an introduction to flowmeter technology and has applica-tion for sales personnel, technicians, engineers, instructors, and those who areendeavoring to broaden their knowledge of industrial flow measurement.
