Title: Metering Research Facility Program orifice meter installation effects: Two-inch bare orifice meter tube tests. Topical report, July 1996

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:406037

Results are presented of the 2-inch (50 millimeter) diameter baseline (reference) and `typical field installation` orifice meter calibrations. The baseline calibration orifice coefficient tests were run with a long straight upstream meter tube length and a tube bundle straightening vane placed in the inlet to remove swirl. The baseline data were used to qualify the flow facility and to calculate the percentage deviation from baseline value for the orifice meter installation effects tests.
