Mass flow measurement is the basis of most technoeconomic formulations in the chemical industry. This calls for reliable and accurate detection of mass flow. Flow measurement laboratory experiments were conducted using various instruments. These consisted of orifice plates, various sized rotameters, wet gas meter and soap bubble meter. This work was aimed at evaluating appropriate operating con...

ABSTARCT: Flow measurement plays vital role in Air conditioning leak detection to measure leakages of conditioned air in a airconditioning system of the building. It is costlier process to convert properties of air into making of desired atmosphere of the building. The leakage of conditioned air is cause of loss of money. In this stems the need for accurate, economical measurement for leakages ...

An inexpensive yet portable device for calibrating four different flow meters in the undergraduate fluid mechanics laboratory was designed and constructed. The apparatus contains a rotameter, a turbine-type meter, a venturi meter, and an orifice meter. All four meters are calibrated simultaneously using a volumetric measuring tank. Results obtained by undergraduate students are presented, and a...

Orifice flow meter is one of the most common devices in industry which is used for measuring the gas flow. This system includes an orifice plate, temperature and pressure transmitters, and a flow computer. The flow computer is used for collecting information related to temperature, pressure, and their differences under various conditions. Also the flow computer can calculate the flow rate of ga...

The most commonly used flowmeter is the orifice meter. The orifice meter consists of two parts. As shown in Figure 1, they are the measurement orifice plate, which is installed in the process line, and the differential pressure transmitter, which measures the pressure developed across the orifice plate. There has been extensive research to determine the operating characteristics of orifice meters.

To overcome the space limit of orifice-type and capillary restrictors in hybrid bearings, a kind of atypical long orifice-type restrictor is proposed and its experimental model is established. Through the analysis of the structure and flow rate of orifice-type restrictor and capillary restrictor, a long orifice-type restrictor and a feasible experimental modeling method are presented by use of ...
