Flow rate, flowrate or flow-rate?
I'm supposed to be an expert on this but I'm having difficulty in why I use flowrate AND flow rate.

Flow rate, flowrate or flow-rate? None are in Webster's or The AP Stylebook, and both Firefox and Word underline flowrate with the red squiggly line--and that's the one I'd've chosen as a noun! What do your engineering manuals and textbooks use? |

Dunno which is best to write it, but it's best measured in Sverdrups.

Vadim,
Not a definitive answer, but I would not have used flowrate. Either flow rate or flow-rate look better to me.
Put flowrate into Google and see what you get. The general opinion seems to be flow rate.

The general opinion seems to be flow rate. Thanks, Geoff. I find it difficult with many two-worded phrases becoming one word in themselves. Dave - In the text books they're about as sure as I am! Tone - Just LOL.  Vadim |
