Considerations for Standardization of Wet Steam Flow Measurement

Abstract

This paper shows the importance of steam flow measurement based on the long-term energy policy in Japan and the trend of steam consumption so far. In addition, the status of standardization of wet steam flow measurement and the means to evaluate the actual flow of steam flowmeters are summarized. Based on these results, the "ideal state" required for the promotion of standardization in wet steam flow measurement is presented and discussed.
