Abstract:
This paper presents a method for measuring flow in pipelines based on the vibration caused by the flow of water, eliminating the need for interrupting the flow and opening the pipe for installation of traditional water flowmeters. Experimental measurements are presented and also a metrological validation in a laboratory accredited for calibration of flow meters.
