PR-015-07603-R02 Effect of Orifice Plate Manufacturing Variations on Orifice Meter Performance - Unblinded

Nored, James James

Abstract

An investigation to flow test and measure a large set of orifice plates to determine the proportion of existing orifice plates have measured discharge coefficients outside of the Reader-Harris/Gallagher equation 95% confidence limits. The research determined if the existing tolerance specifications adequately describe the dimensions of an orifice plate required to conform to the Reader-Harris/Gallagher equation calculated discharge coefficient. The testing also underscored the influence of manufacturing variations on orifice plate performance.
