GAS FLOW MEASUREMENT: PRACTICAL ASPECTS AND RESEARCH RESULTS

Increased concerns for improved gas flowrate measurements exist today in our nation's marketplaces, in our continuous process industries, and in the technologies which impact public safety and our national defense. To respond to these concerns, improvements are being sought in fluid measurements in existing installations and in fluid meters which are being retrofitted into flow systems where none previously existed. For all of these reasons, the NBS-Gaithersburg calibration facilities for gas flow should be known, accessible, and adequate to expressed needs. The NBS-Gaithersburg calibration techniques, facilities, ranges and levels of performance are briefly described for gas flowrate.
