Abstract: Flow computation is both important and interesting. However, like any other work, it may seem mysterious and overly complicated when we are unfamiliar with it. Flow computations are usually made in the office where either a calculator or some type of computer system is available. These volumes are accurate to the smallest factor. The field man, however, does not have the benefit of this type of equipment. Therefore, he must compute flow by hand calculation or by using a flow slide rule or flow graph. The field volume, of course, is not expected to be as exact as that volume calculated by a computer system but depending upon the purpose for which it is to be used, it must still compare favorable. In order to illustrate the accuracy and simplicity of the different methods of arriving at a field volume, we will use as an example a typical set of conditions from which a volume is computated by a computer system. Then we can compare the different stages of hand calculation as well as slide rule or graph calculation for accuracy.
