Abstract
Contact measurements of varying mass velocity and electrical conductivity in MHD channels are considered. The conditions under which the mass-velocity profile may be measured are found, and the measuring error is estimated. It is shown that MHD measurements of electrical conductivity may be made even when the mass-velocity profile is not known in advance.
