The "Workshop of Advancement of Steam Flow Measurement" group has been working in the Power and Energy Systems Division of the JSME since April 2017 for a period of five years, and this year is the final year of its activities. With regard to the measurement method of steam flow rate, which is in high demand in industry, the workshop investigates technical knowledge from papers, technical documents and members' own works to prepare guidelines and standards useful for actual measurement. The number of committee members is 30, and there is a good balance of members from industry, government, and academia, including universities, companies, and research institutes. The predecessor of this workshop was the "Workshop of Wet Steam Flow Measurement" which was active from April 2012 to March 2017. In December 2016, a report summarizing all the activities was published. The "Workshop of Advanced Studies for Steam Flow Measurement" has been held meetings once or twice a year to compile research and technologies from the basic to the applied aspects of steam flow measurement, and to create measurement guidelines, based on the opinions and requests from the committee members. So far, we have mainly dealt with the technical investigation on the clamp-on-type flowmeter, the flow pattern of wet steam, and the examples of wetness measurement and field application. At the end of the workshop, we plan to publish a report summarizing the entire activity.
