Physical Properties of Fluids & Gases

When measuring flow, physical properties of fluids and gases are significant when designing systems and measuring performance. Properties of fundamental importance include:

  1. Temperature

  2. Pressure

  3. Liquid State

  4. Gaseous State

  5. Density

  6. Viscosity

  7. Specific Gravity

Depending on the type flowmeter used, and application, the following properties may also be important:

  1. Vapor Pressure

  2. Boiling Point

  3. Electrical Conductivity

  4. Sonic Conductivity

  5. Velocity

  6. Specific Heat
