Overview

Excerpt from Measuring the Flow of Gases The problem of measuring and recording the volume of gases flow ing in pipes and ducts is one that is engaging the attention of engineers more and more every day. In the various industries where gas is used or produced, such as steel plants, producer plants, chemical factories, mines, etc., the manage ment realizes that accurate information concerning the volume of gas used or produced is not only exceedingly valuable in checking operation but in many cases absolutely necessary. The greatest difficulty with volumetric measurement of gases is that the laws governing the flow of elastic fluids are not generally under stood by many engineers and when they are understood, the calcula tions involved are so long and tedious that they are discouraging, The object of this pamphlet is to present to those interested, a few of the fundamental principles of the flow of elastic fluids, to facilitate the calculations by means of curves, to show and explain several of the most approved methods of making volumetric measurements and to point out the precautions that must be taken to insure accurate results.
