Orifice Meter Installation Effects: Alternative Flow Conditioner Designs Testedin 45 D Meter Tube Downstream of a Tee, and 17 D Meter Tube Downstream of Double Out-of-Plane Elbows. GRI Metering Research Facility Program. Topical Report

摘要

The Metering Research Facility (MRF) Orifice Meter Upstream Effects ResearchProgram sponsored by the Gas Research Institute, is acquiring orifice meter performance data on several different types of flow conditioning devices. The program objective is 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 metering installations to assure proper upstream flow conditions in orifice meter installations built to conform with A.G.A. Report No. 3, Part 3 (1).
