This book describes basic principles of electromagnetic induction measurements and consolidates the outcomes of recent research. It encompasses pipeline electromagnetic flow meters, electromagnetic flow meters, multiphase flow electromagnetic flowmeters and flow field of electromagnetic induction reconstruction.

Xiao-Zhang Zhang studied at Tsinghua University from 1978 to 1983 for his first degree in engineering physics, he obtained his master's degree at Southern East University in 1986 studying insertion turbine flowmeter, and a PhD from Hohai University in 1989 studying electromagnetic induction flow measurement. After working as a lecturer in Nanjing Aeronautic and Astronautic University, he went to Cranfield University in 1991 to research electromagnetic flow measurement probes with the support of the Royal Society. He returned to China the following year and moved to Tsinghua University in 1994. He is now a professor in engineering physics, lecturing and working on machine vibration and mechanical measurement. He was previously director of the Institute of Technical Physics at Tsinghua and has been a visiting professor at Cambridge University and Cranfield Institute of Technology, as well as an editorial board member for the journal Flow Measurement and Instrumentation.
