Abstract

Accurate measurements of fluid flows are important for a variety of reasons which include: (1) Quantities for obtaining specific proportions of materials for process control/water-wastewater treatment, etc. (2) Maintaining specific flow rates without which precise quality control would not be possible. (3) Simply to know how much has passed through a particular system. Erroneous flow measurements can lead to incorrect data. In many operations where large volumes of fluids are measured daily or on a regular basis, small percentage errors in measurement can total up to large sums. In pollution control, accurate flow measurement is essential in analysis of a process or in the operation's environmental impact. Flow measurement accuracy is essential for collecting, stream and waste water sample data and its importance cannot be overemphasized. There are a variety of schemes and commercially available devices for flow quantity measurement. Selection of a specific device should be based: degree of accuracy and/or precision for the application; the particular scheme suited to the application and conditions; and limitations and costs of various methods or units to be considered.
