Conventional Flowmeters

Conventional Flowmeters covers the origin, principle of operation, development, advantages and disadvantages, applications, and frontiers of research for conventional technology flowmeters: differential pressure and primary elements, positive displacement, turbine, open channel, and variable area.

Dr. Jesse Yoder, President of Flow Research, has 36 years of experience writing about and analyzing process control and instrumentation markets, beginning as president and founder of Idea Network. He received a B.A. degree in philosophy at the University of Maryland in 1973. He received a PhD in philosophy from the University of Massachusetts in 1984, writing in philosophy of mind. Dr. Yoder was an adjunct philosophy professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and Lafayette College for 10 years. He founded Flow Research, Inc. in 1998, where he still serves as President. Dr. Yoder has received two patents for new dual-sensor flowmeter designs. Several prototypes of these designs have been built and tested at CEESI. He has written over 280 market studies, has published over 300 articles on flow and instrumentation in industry journals, and has written several books.
