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