Flow, or the movement of fluid through a system, is an important part of process control in most systems. Flow measurement is also one of the most important tasks performed by process instrumentation and control equipment. Flow is normally expressed by the amount of material moved per unit of time, which is more precisely referred to as flow rate.

The Principles of Flow training course describes the principles of fluid flow. It demonstrates how these principles provide multiple means for measuring flow rate in the process industry. This online course covers:

• Measuring flow rate
• Flow measuring devices
• Flow characteristics
• Factors that affect flow measurement

Principles of Flow is part of the Process Control Variable training series.
