ESDU 12003 provides an overview of the techniques available to
practising engineers for measuring fluid pressure and flow rate,
and of the range of instruments that can be selected for specific
internal flow applications. The criteria for measurement accuracy,
including uncertainty, external influences, and calibration, are
covered. Based on the relative merits of the different techniques,
guidance is then given on the selection of an appropriate
measurement technique, and, where appropriate, on the construction,
installation, calibration, and use of a measuring instrument.
ESDU 12003 covers pressure measurement in stationary and moving
fluids, and volume flow and mass flow measurements. Measurements in
incompressible and compressible fluids are discussed. The flows
considered are, in the first instance, considered steady and single
phase. Advice, with appropriate warnings, is given where techniques
and instruments are also suitable for unsteady or multiphase
flows.
ESDU 12003 provides comprehensive references to further
information, including cases where the described techniques do not
cover some other possible requirements for measurements of pressure
and flow in internal flow applications.
