Industrial radiotracer application in flow rate measurement and flowmeter calibration using ⁹⁹mTc and ¹⁹⁸Au nanoparticles radioisotope

The flow rate or fluid velocity measurement is important to maintain fluid flow quality performance in the systems. This study focuses on determination of volumetric flow rate measurement and to calibrate the conventional flowmeter using industrial radiotracer approach in quadrilateral gas-liquid bu...
