Fluid Flow: Energy markets, product improvements drive growth in the global flowmeter market
The size of the global flowmeter market has followed the upward and downward fluctuations in oil prices and is now on an upward trajectory, according to a new study by Flow Research that provides total global market shares of the major suppliers of each flowmeter technology (except sonar and optical) by 2018 revenues.

Several prototypes of these designs have been built and are being tested. He has led the research for more than 250 market studies, published nearly 300 articles on flow and instrumentation in industry journals, and written two books. His book, <i>The Tao of Measurement: A Philosophical View of Flow and Sensors,</i> with co-contributor Richard E. Morley, was published in 2015 by the International Society of Automation (ISA). Topics covered include temperature, pressure, flow, time, length and area. Dr. Yoder is now writing another book, titled <i>Advances in Flow Measurement,</i> which is scheduled for publication in 2020 by CRC Press.
