Written for engineers, technicians and students, this book blends real-world experience with clear explanations of fundamentals, including fluid properties, continuity, Bernoulli's principles and the basics of measurement quality. It surveys a wide range of meter technologies, from magnetic, turbine and ultrasonic meters to Coriolis, positive displacement, vortex, thermal and open-channel methods, describing how each works, where it fits best and common installation and maintenance concerns. This book also covers applied topics important to industry, including calibration and uncertainty, linearization and totalization, custody transfer (billing) issues, sanitary and standards considerations, and how to choose the right meter for a given process.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePacked with practical advice, case examples, and standards guidance, this book helps readers align meter selection and installation with real process needs, while emphasizing the importance of accurate and reliable measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid W.
