ASME MFC-8M

Description / Abstract: This Standard describes the practices and means which allow the pressures at a head type primary device to be conveyed to the secondary device in a flow measurement system without introducing unnecessary measurement uncertainties.

Field Of Application

This Standard is concerned only with the transmission of the pressure difference developed by a head type primary flow element. It does not address the characteristics of the primary or secondary devices, or transducers or other instruments. Electrical transmission techniques are not considered.
