SELECTING FLOWMETER WITH A HELP OF AN EXPERT SYSTEM
J. Vindisar, I. Bajsic
Abstract:
Fluid flow measurements are probably the most important of all existing measurements in process engineering. Selection of an optimal flowmeter is a difficult task. According to the quantity of knowledge available, a computer program for selection of an optimal flowmeter seems to offer a solution for this problem. For a detailed flowmeter selection procedure, around fifty variables were identified as the most important factors in selection. They were then grouped into five general areas: performance, fluid property, installation, environment and economy. A database for fourteen different types of flowmeters was setup in the way that, together with an algorithm for the main program, it represents a base for developing the knowledgebase and expert system for selection of an optimal flowmeter.
