ABSTRACT

No industrial measurement is more important than the accurate detection of the  ow rates of gases, liquids, and solids. In this section, an overview is given of the availability and characteristics of some of the most widely used  ow sensors. In addition, emphasis is given to the latest developments, such as the polyphase (oil/water/gas) and the wide-rangeability dual-rotor turbine  owmeters. General guidelines are provided about selecting the best  ow sensor for a particular application.
