Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to bring together a collection of miscellaneous information likely to benefit the flowmeter user faced with the need for calibrations, for advice or for information. Sources of published information on specific areas have already been given in the ‘Where to learn more’ sections at the end of the earlier chapters; this chapter fills in the gaps by listing the information sources of a more general character.

Give us the job and we will finish the tools!
