Why Is Flow Measurement Not Very Accurate? |
|
Answer» Flow measurement is less accurate compared to level, temperature and PRESSURE measurement. This is due to the consideration of various PARAMETERS while measuring a flow. These parameters, such as the accuracy of the orifice plate diameter, the PIPELINE diameter their operating parameters such as temperature and pressure do not remain same in the process OPERATION as the design parameters. Generally, an accuracy of 5% is permitted in a flow measurement. Flow measurement is less accurate compared to level, temperature and pressure measurement.
