The importance of flow measuring can vary from very high, such as custody transfer, to relatively noncritical, such as recordkeeping. Regardless of why a user wants to measure flow, the challenge is to select the best flowmeter for each application. Many factors have a final bearing on choosing the right flowmeter for an application, In order to select the right flowmeter it is important to understand why the measurement is being made. There are several reasons for measuring flow: control, monitoring, totalizing, indication and billing.

After you have looked at why the measurement needs to be made it is time to look at the application. This requires looking at the properties of fluid being measured, the performance requirements, and the nature of the installation, economic factors, environmental considerations, and safety factors.
