Summary report of NIST's Industry-Government Consortium Research Program on flowmeter installation effects: The 45 degree elbow. Technical note
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6681924
The report presents recent results obtained in a consortium-sponsored research program on flowmeter installation effects being conducted at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-Gathersburg, MD, presented at the meeting of consortium participants in November 1992. This project is supported by an industry-government consortium and has been underway for several years. This piping element tested and reported here is the conventional 45 degree elbow; the conventional 19- and 7-tube concentric tube bundle flow conditioners were also tested. The LDV velocity measurements are reported for the pipeflows produced downstream of the 45 degree elbow with and without the 19-tube tube bundles. The performance characteristics of a range of orifice meters with various pressure tap geometries and a specific turbine meter are obtained downstream of the 45 degree elbow with and without the 19- and 7-tube bundle flow conditioners.
