  • Abstract
    The eddy-current flowmeter seems well adapted to measurements in high-temperature liquid-metal systems, where deterioration of the properties of permanent magnets and other ferromagnetic parts or bearing problems may seriously degrade the performance of other types. Tests on an eddy-current flowmeter confirm the high signal levels and the optimum excitation frequency predicted by an analysis of the device.
