• Learn the difference between, and the application of, volumetric versus mass flow rate measurement.
• Understand the influences and interactions of fluid viscosity, density, turbulence in flow, temperature, compressible and non-compressible fluids, and electro-magnetic interference on different flow sensing technologies.
• Explore flow calibration methods and techniques to achieve better sensor field performance for water, hydrocarbons and silicone oils.
