The pitot tube 3. To measure flow velocity sonar flowmeters use two knowns. Likewise sonar flow measurement uses the same techniques and algorithms employed in underwater acoustics but applies them to flow measurement of oil and gas wells and flow lines. This instrument is conveniently used as a household barometer.

Here a list and brief explanation of commonly used flow measurement devices is presented. Additional terms may. The flow measuring device including flow measurement valves should be positioned upstream of any associated valve and installed with a reasonable length of straight pipe upstream and downstream of the device. The flow measurement devices can also be further classified based on their principle of operation.

Flow measuring devices can be primarily classified based on the type of flow measurement either mass flow measurement or volumetric flow measurement. In this way they could easily calculate how much water was flowing in the duct. Achieve precision measurement and process control by ensuring you have the right flow technology for your specific needs. The most common method used by the usgs for measuring velocity is with a current meter.

In its simplest form the device. This device consists of a glass tube bent at the lower part to form a u tube. A venturimeter is a device meant for measuring the quantity of a liquid flowing through a pipe. The flow nozzle 5.
