Abstract
This chapter is concerned with rotating mechanical flowmeters of the ‘full-bore’ type, for measuring either the total volume or the volumetric flowrate of a fluid flowing in a pipe. Rotating mechanical devices used for measuring velocity at a point are dealt with in Chapter 7, and those used for mass flow measurement in Chapter 8.
One man’s meter’s another man’s poison.
