  • Abstract
    The eddy-current flowmeter seems well adapted to measurements in high-temperature liquid-metal systems, where deterioration of the properties of permanent magnets and other ferromagnetic parts or bearing problems may seriously degrade the performance of other types. It is shown analytically that velocity-profile errors and temperature errors can be minimized by selecting a suitable operating frequency.
