Chapter 15, Problem 1RQ
List six factors that affect the selection and use of flowmeters.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Factors that affect the selection and use of flow meter
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Range, Accuracy, pressure loss, type of indication, type of fluid, calibration
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Flow meter is used to measure the velocity of the flow, volume flow rate through the section, mass flow rate of liquids. These are widely used in industrial process so its selection has to be done considering few parameters which minimize the errors in measurement. Various types of flow meters are selected and used in industrial application based certain factors.
Following factors that affect the selection and use of flow meter
- Range
- Accuracy required
- Pressure loss
- Type of indication
- Type of fluid
- Calibration
Conclusion:
The above are the major factor which are considered for selection and use of different types of flow meter.
