Introduction to Flow Measurement

Measurement is a cornerstone of the industry. As Lord Kelvin (whom the SI Unit of temperature is named after) said….“To measure is to know” and “If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it.”

Good fluid flow measurement is essential in any industry where there is a movement of fluids. The water industry and the food and beverage industry are both sectors which we interact with daily, they rely on good fluid flow measurement to be safe and effective. The energy industry, which will be the focus of this webinar, also touches all of our lives. Again, accurate and reliable fluid flow measurement underpins the sector’s safety, operational effectiveness, and its ability to trade internationally. This is equally true for the traditional sectors such as crude oil and natural gas, future technology developments like Carbon Capture and future fuels like Hydrogen.
