Increasing the Accuracy of Turbine Flow Transducers Using the Method of Generalized Influence Variables

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

The factors leading to errors in turbine flow transducers are considered. Methods for increasing the accuracy of turbine flow meters are analyzed. A method of generalized influence quantities is proposed, and a variant of its implementation is considered.
