2. Reminder of the principles implemented
Flow measurements fall into three categories:
fluid flow measurements in closed conduits;
free-surface water flow measurements (channel, open conduit, river);
solids flow measurements.
Eight main types of flowmeter are used to measure flow in closed conduits.
Weirs, gauges and reels are the main tools available for measuring open-water flows.
Solids flow rates can be measured by impact and Coriolis flowmeters , as well as by level measurements on conveyor belts (§...
