Using Ultrasonic Flow Meters At Custody Transfer Stations.(Statistical Data Included)

From: Pipeline & Gas Journal | Date: January 1, 2000| Author: Bowles, Edgar; Grimley, Terry | Copyright information

Historically, the flow meter of choice for natural gas transmission pipeline operators in the United States has been the orifice meter. However, over the past five years, there has been a heightened interest in using ultrasonic flow meters for pipeline custody transfer measurement. Driving this interest are some operational and economic advantages that ultrasonic meters enjoy over conventional orifice meters. For instance, ultrasonic flow meters typically have a broader flow rate r...

Effects of the Perfusion Flow Rate on Skeletal Muscle Energy Metabolism and a Possible Role of Second Messengers in This Process
Physiological Research ; Summary The metabolic turnover in the isolated in vitro perfused and superfused rat skeletal muscle (musculus gracilis cranialis) was enhanced by increasing the medium flow rate under relaxed conditions. In a recent study we have measured the tissue concentrations of second messengers: cyclic
