The Ultimate Practical Guide to Industrial Flow Measurement Instruments

Flow Instrumentation from a Field Application Perspective

By: John Mulindi

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This book is written for practicing Instrumentation and Control Engineers, Technicians, and also Under Graduate Students pursuing a course in the same field. This book may also be useful to any person involved in selection, installation and maintenance of flow measurement instruments. Choosing the right flow measurement instrument for the appropriate application can be a challenging task that is why the author created this simple guide that contains information from a field application and experience perspective. This will help you make an informed decision when selecting a flow measurement instrument for a given industrial application. The author has worked as a field application engineer involved in selecting, specifying and installation of measurement instruments, he therefore brings with him vast field experience when it comes flow instrumentation. Choosing the right flow measurement technology means that you have to balance between the cost and the process requirements, it is therefore important to have the right information with you when selecting instruments with regard to operation, technical requirements and costs. Installation is also a key factor you have to consider when choosing an instrument, the author looks at important factors that you have to be aware of with regard to installation, when selecting an instrument. The author discusses each instrument from the working principles, installation & application considerations, operational capabilities and limitations as well as the cost. This is to help instrumentation professionals have a good background with regard to field application when it comes to choosing a particular instrument. The author has presented this discussion in the simplest form as possible so that every instrumentation professional from technicians, engineers, to plant managers can have an easy understanding of the various facts presented in this book and act like a reference when they are selecting, procuring and installing flow measurement instruments. The author hasn’t gone into the physics and mathematical analysis behind each flow measurement technology but rather he has tried to put more emphasis on how each metering technology is practically applied in flow measurement.
