This new sensor will help to reduce the overall measurement uncertainty of the 4-in-1 measurements system and will provide a higher accuracy for flow, density and viscosity in the one-meter body.

High viscosity fluids are notoriously challenging to measure flow rate accurately because of the sensitivity to changes in physical properties. Having a system that can calculate these parameters as part of the measurement, eliminates the need for separate measurements and employing separate measurement corrections -- its all done in the one device with the friction flowmeter. This project will improve the accuracy and reduce uncertainty in these parameters.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
