Measuring low-rate gas flows of boreholes in coal mines by the needle increasing flow rate method

A novel method named the needle increasing flow rate method (NIFRM) is proposed to measure the excessively low gas flow rates of extraction boreholes in coal mines. The main idea of the NIFRM is that when the flow rate of a branch extraction pipe of the borehole is lower than the minimum measurable...
