Introduction
Practical flowmeter systems require careful consideration notonly of the flowmeter technology itself but also of its applicationto the process at hand. Process requirements dictate the amount ofeffort required for a successful application. A few of the criteriathat must be considered are:
- Installation complexity and cost
- Maintenance
- Accuracy
- Linearity
- Repeatability
- Dependence on fluid properties
- Operating costs
- Hydraulic characteristics of the flowmeter and of thefluid
- Reliability
- Safety
As the physical realities involved with all of these criteriamust be dealt with in flowmeter design, installation, andoperation, the development of a perfect flowmeter is a virtualimpossibility. Flowmeter performance is one of the key criteria inflowmeter selection that should be examined in detail.
