In this Video: Flow Meter Start-Up and Trouble Shooting

Mass Flow Technology Operations Manager Claude Nowlin details techniques and principles to follow for starting up a new flow meter as well as trouble shooting existing meters in an industrial facility. From their gravimetric flow calibration laboratory located in Baytown, Texas, Nowlin utilizes a Coriolis flow meter manufactured by Micro Motion to illustrate some of the points and principles discussed during the training.
