Débitmétrie; Flowmetry
Technique for measuring the flow rate of a gaseous, liquid or solid fluid.
Reynolds (Reynolds number); Reynolds
The Reynolds number is a dimensionless number used in fluid mechanics. It is used to check the range of use of flowmeters according to their principle. It is also used to calculate pressure drops.
Viscosity ; Viscosité
Viscosity refers to the resistance to movement of a fluid during flow. When a fluid's viscosity decreases, its fluidity increases.
Accuracy
Tightness of agreement between a measured value and a true value of a measurand.
Masse volumique ; Density
Mass of product per unit volume.
Density; Specific...
