Flow rate measurement explained
26 May 2018
ABB has released an updated version of its comprehensive handbook outlining the basic principles behind flow measurement in industrial processes. Titled “Industrial flow measurement: Basics and practice”, it explains the key methods and factors to consider when measuring industrial flow rate and associated applications.

Available at bit.ly/ABBflowguide, the handbook covers a wide range of topics, including how to identify the correct measurement technique and the best flowmeter to use for specific fluids.
Other important topics covered include calibration; communications options, including HART and Fieldbus; fluid mechanics concepts and an overview outlining the suitability of different flowmeters and materials for measuring corrosive fluid flows. The guide also includes a handy reference section containing a list of standards and a synopsis of keywords for operating conditions and measuring point requirements.
