- Abstract
- These notes are intended to serve as an instruction manual for technicians and engineers engaged in metering liquids and calibrating liquid flowmeters. It is a condensed review of the properties of liquids and the mathematical relations required in his work. References to more complete sources of properties of liquids, theoretical relations and instructions for metering liquids are included. Separate chapters discuss liquids and their properties as they affect flow, the theory of incompressible flow of liquids and the measurements required in the metering of liquids. One chapter describes several different apparatus and their use in the calibration of liquid flowmeters. The last chapter contains brief descriptions of the many types of flowmeters such as differential pressure, positive displacement, electromagnetic and ultrasonic. It also includes a discussion of the physical principles involved in their design and use.
