Flow Research has announced that a new book written by its founder and president, Dr Jesse Yoder, is now available.
Mass Flow Measurement, published by Taylor and Francis on June 26, explores the concept of mass and its measuring technologies in non-technical language.
It also takes a fresh look at some traditional concepts, including the use of pi in Euclidean geometry for measuring circular pipes, an essential part of flow measurement.
According to Dr. Yoder: “Euclidean concepts have been handed down from generation to generation like worn-out jeans and T-shirts.
“While Euclidean geometry has served engineering extraordinarily well for more than 2000 years, some of its assumptions about ideal objects no longer reflect the realities of modern measurement.
“The world of flow is moving towards hybrid flowmeters that incorporate multiple measuring technologies in a single pipe. This trend is opening up a new world of accuracy, diagnostics, and previously unimagined capabilities in flow measurement. Examining some commonly accepted assumptions could lead to an unexpected but beneficial paradigm shift in the flowmeter world that supports these changes.”
Mass Flow Measurement focuses on four mass flow measuring technologies: Coriolis, thermal, mass flow controller, and multivariable.
It provides the history and operating principle for each technology, and discusses available products and the leading suppliers.
Mass Flow Measurement is available on Amazon.
