商品簡介
This book describes the origin, principle of operation, development, advantages and disadvantages, applications, and frontiers of research for new-technology flowmeters, which include Coriolis, magnetic, ultrasonic, vortex, and thermal. It focuses on the newer, faster growing flowmeter markets, while placing them in the context of more traditional meters like differential pressure, turbine, and positive displacement. Taking an objective look at the origins of each flowmeter type, the book attempts to determine who had the early patents, for each type, and which companies deserve credit for initially commercializing each flowmeter type. It is designed for anyone involved with flowmeters and instrumentation, including product and marketing managers, strategic planners, application engineers, and distributors.
