Flow measurement and industrial flows

Workshop series, IfM, Cambridge, 22 - 24 June 2010

Cancelled due to insufficient bookings


This series of three workshops is run by Cambridge University's Institute for Manufacturing in collaboration with Endress + Hauser.

They will introduce participants to flowmeters; the basics, selection and current technology. The workshops will provide an overview of flow measurement techniques and flowmeter selection as well as a deeper understanding of some modern designs of flowmeter. Course books by the workshop director, Roger Baker, are included in the fee for each workshop. All three workshops will be held at the Institute for Manufacturing, Cambridge.

Day 1 (half-day)

Introduction to industrial flows

The first workshop gives an overview of industrial flows for sales staff and others involved with instrumentation, pipework, pumping systems and other related equipment, who would benefit from a greater technical understanding of flow behaviour. The workshop will include:

  • basic ideas of flow and fluid behaviour
  • commonly measured fluid parameters
  • flow losses in pipework
  • compressible flow effects
  • special phenomena in industrial flows including unsteady, oscillating and multiphase flows
  • application of computational fluid dynamics
  • course book: An introductory guide to industrial flow

Day 2 (whole day)

Flow measurement and flowmeter selection

This workshop gives a general introduction to measuring flow, including problems that may arise when using flowmeters and software to support equipment selection. It is particularly suitable for staff responsible for specification and purchasing of flowmeters and those in sales and marketing who are new to the industry. The workshop will include:

  • an overview of flow measurement
  • flowmeter selection: options and limitations
  • orifice meters, current discharge coefficients and other differential pressure devices
  • positive displacement, turbine, vortex, electromagnetic and ultrasonic meters
  • coriolis, thermal and other mass meters
  • Demonstration sessions with air and water flow rigs
  • course book: An introductory guide to flow measurement

Day 3 (whole day)

Current flowmeter technologies

The final workshop provides a more advanced consideration of the design, operation and application of some current flowmeter designs. It is aimed at instrument and project engineers and contractors in R&D, design and manufacturing. The workshop will include presentations by manufacturers of their own experiences. It will cover:

  • volumetric meters: vortex, electromagnetic, ultrasonic
  • mass meters: thermal, coriolis
  • industrial designs for liquids and gases
  • maintenance, site verification and internet options
  • course book: Flow measurement handbook

Who should attend?

The first two workshops are designed for those in sales and marketing, or those responsible for specification or purchase of equipment, who would benefit from a basic understanding of the subject areas. The final workshop is also for R&D, design, manufacturing or field staff, who need a deeper insight into modern flowmeter designs.

Presenters

The workshop series will be directed by Roger Baker of the Institute for Manufacturing, author of several books in this field.

Other confirmed speakers are from Loughborough University (day 1), Endress and Hauser (day 2 and 3), GE Sensing and Krohne (day 3).
