Principe général des débitmètres-masses. Tout mouvement d’un fluide ne se conçoit que par la consommation partielle de l'énergie qui lui est propre. Ainsi a-t-on eu l ’idée, depuis longtemps, de prélever une fraction de cette énergie pour en déduire le débit. Un exemple typique est fourni par les débitmètres à ajutage, où l'on mesure la chute de pression due à un étranglement. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9bitm%C3%A8tre%2Dmasse
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
On parle de débit-masse, et non de débit massique car cela signifierait débit par unité de masse et n’aurait aucun sens. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9bitm%C3%A8tre%2Dmasse
