The new semi-experimental method for simulation of the turbine flow meters rotation in the transitional flow has been developed. The method is based on the experimentally established exponential low of changing of dimensionless relative turbine gas meter rotation frequency and meter inertia time constant. For experimental evaluation of the meter time constant special facility has been developed...

This paper outlines the operating principles and application of ultrasonic gas flow metering for custody transfer. Basic principles and underlying equations are discussed, as are considerations for applying ultrasonic flow meter technology to station design, installation, and operation. These applications are illustrated based on operating experience with the SICK ultrasonic flow meter, however...

A micro Coriolis flow sensor accurately measures small mass flows without being affected by properties of the fluid. This paper presents a driven PZT thin film piezoelectric actuators, which allows combination large actuation force, low power dissipation and virtually no self-heating. The was fabricated using surface channel technology, resulting in tube diameter 40 <inline-formula xmlns:mml="h...

PURPOSE The goals of this investigation were to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the Angioflow meter system with use of in vitro and in vivo methods and to compare it to the standard Transonics HD01 system in a clinical setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Angioflow meter system consists of a 6-F endovascular catheter and a laptop computer containing proprietary software for this applic...
