OSTI ID:231177
The test series described in this memorandum is part of the Metering Research Facility Orifice Meter Upstream Effects Research Program, conducted to investigate the benefit and feasibility of fitting flow conditioning devices into new gas flow metering installations as well as retrofitting these devices into existing installations to assure proper upstream flow conditions. This report describes the orifice meter installation and documents the measured values. Because of the conclusions reached as a result of this test series, it is recommended that future orifice meter or turbine meter installation effects tests use a 19-tube conditioner at the exit of the stagnation bottle.
