Flow Measurement In Open Channels And Closed Conduits Vol 2

Excerpt from Flow Measurement in Open Channels and Closed Conduits, Vol. 2: Proceedings of the Symposium on Flow Measurement in Open Channels and Closed Conduits Held at the National Bureau of Standards in Gaithersburg, Maryland on February 23-25, 1977 These Proceedings include most of the papers presented at the three day symposium on fluid flow measurements held at the National Bureau of Standards, Gaithersburg, Maryland, on February 23, 24, and 25, 1977. The papers dealt with flow in open channels and closed conduits and a special related session on international standards. The impetus to hold the symposium came from several sources. These included (1) continuing requests for the information presented at the 1974 Flow Measurement Conference held to establish connections between flow measurement and national needs (conference presentations not published), (2) increasing use of measurement technology by regulators to monitor or enforce the effects of their rule making, and (3) rising awareness of the importance of international standards to this nation, particularly, for quantifying energy-related fluids. The purpose of the symposium was to bring together a significant group of the producers and users of flow measurement technology, to provide a forum for presenting and discussing both the new and the proven ideas for making useful flow measurements, and to assemble and disseminate the resulting information. Initially, the theme was to emphasize identification and assessment of sources of errors, formulation of error analysis techniques and recommendations for resolving the uncertainties for flow measurement.
