Fundamentals of Liquid Flow Measurement
In Fundamentals of Liquid Flow Measurement , you'll learn ...
- An understanding of the evolution of flow measurement
- A familiarity with liquid flow and flow measurement-related terminology
- Conditions that can impact flow meter accuracy, repeatability, and reliability
- Current methods of measuring filled pipe and open channel liquid flow rates
Overview
This course discusses a wide variety of methods of measuring filled pipe and open channel liquid flow. Included is a brief history of flow measurement technology, various methods of liquid flow measurement currently in use, things that can affect measurement accuracy and repeatability, and things to consider when selecting flow instrumentation for a particular application.
Flow element and transmitter designs will be discussed and the advantages and disadvantages of each dependent upon the type of flow measurement application.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Summarize the evolution of flow measurement.
- Define terminology related to liquid flow and flow measurement.
- Identify conditions that can affect flow meter accuracy, repeatability, and reliability.
- Describe current methods for measuring liquid flow rates in filled pipes and open channels.
- Explain liquid flow measurement methodology and terminology.
- Describe how a flow measurement signal is converted into an electrical output signal.
- Identify the factors to consider when selecting a flow sensor and associated hardware for a particular application.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 25 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
