63-04: Water Flow Measurement in Field Tests of Cooling Towers

In accordance with one of its stated objectives, "To work toward the development of standardized testing procedures acceptable to manufacturers, users and recognized engineering groups", the Cooling Tower Institute believes that a well-organized testing program on the part of an individual user company on its operating towers can lead to their optimal utilization with respect to other pieces of equipment in the plant. Recognizing and understanding this, CTI has therefore launched a series of bulletins and papers to fulfill this need. Thus, in order for a user to obtain an accurate and meaningful indication of his tower's performance, ha may proceed as follows:
