Abstract :
This tutorial has focused on the importance of accurate measurement by flow meters in industrial applications and what is necessary to provide accuracy. The properties of fluid flow are discussed in relation to how these properties affect the measurement by flow meters. The diagrams, formulas and graphs illustrate the important factors in the use of volumetric, mass and smart flow meters.
