ABSTRACT
This chapter analyzes in a unitary manner the compound gauging structures (CGS) combinations of flow meters made up to the present, for flow measurements in closed conduits as well as in large open channels. It presents the identification and analysis mode of the functional logic of the CGS. The chapter presents the variants of the basic analytical expression of the total measured flow rate for each variant of structural scheme of the CGS. The unitary analysis/synthesis and classification of the CGS UASC-CGS method takes the stages specific to the analysis/synthesis and classification of flow meters UASCF method, and introduces new stages specific to the configuration/setup of the combinations of flow meters. Although hypothetically possible, these compounds between conventional flow meters and unconventional flow meters are illogical to imagine because the unconventional flow meters are already constructively cumbersome by their structure.
