As a constriction to obtain small flow rate, straight orifices (small size MOD. ASME) and capillariesin combination with an integral orifice d/p cell are discussed to yield the following conclusions.
In the straight orifice:
1) When orifice diameter is nearly equal to its thickness, flow coefficient is most hardly influencedby Reynolds number in the ranges of orifice diameter of 0.3 to 4mm and Reynolds number of 5 to50, 000.
2) Once flow coefficient is empirically decided at a point in an adequate flow range, a measuring, accuracy of ±2% is expected.
3) Compared with quardrant-edge orifice, it is easier in manufacture and more practical in use.
4) In fluid viscosity range 1cP to 10cP, it was ascertained that its characteristics remains unchangedso long as Reynolds number is kept constant.In the capillary:
1) In case the fluid is water, Hagen-Poiseuille's equation is congruent with actual measurement solong as the flow state remains laminar.
2) In case the fluid is water, a critical Reynolds number, beyond which Hagen-Poiseuille's equationcan not be formed, is in proportional relations with the ratio of the diameter to the length.
3) When the diameter comes less than 0.mm, dust is apt to disturb flow and thus good repro-Aucibility is not expected.
4) When fluid viscosity comes over 5 cp., Hagen-Poiseuille's equation can not be formed even if the flow state remains laminar.
