What is the order of efficiency of venturi meter orifice meter and rotoameter?
The orifice plate can easily be changed to accomodate widely different flow rates, whereas the throat diameter of a venturi is fixed, so that its range of flow rates is circumscribed by the practical limits of Dp.The orifice meter has a large permanent loss of pressure because of the presence of eddies on the downstream side of the orifice-plate; the shape of the venturi meter prevents the formation OS these eddies and greatly reduces the permanent loss.The orifice is cheap and easy to install. The venturi meter is expensive, as it must be carefully proportioned and fabricated. A home made orifice is often entirely satisfactory, whereas a venturi meter is practically always purchased from an instrument dealer.On the other hand, the head lost in the orifice for the same conditions as in the venturi is many times greater. The power lost is proportionally greater, and, when an orifice is inserted in a line carrying fluid continuously over long periods of time, the cost of the power may be out of all proportion to the saving in first cost. Orifices are therefore best used for testing purposes or other cases where the power lost is not a factor, as in steam lines.However, in spite of considerations of power loss, orifices are widely used, partly because of their greater flexibility, because installing a new orifice plate with a different opening is a simpler matter. The venturi meter can not be so altered. Venturi meters are used only for permanent installations.It should be noted that for a given pipe diameter and a given diameter of orifice opening or venturi throat, the reading of the venturi meter for a given velocity is to the reading of the orifice as (0.61/0.98)2, or 1:2.58.(i.e. orifice meter will show higher manometer reading for a given velocity than venturi meter).
Orifice in a sentence?
By the time the fight was over, the boxer had blood flowing from every orifice of his broken body.
What is the purpose of the vent and bleed hole in a orifice plate?
Bleed or Weep Holes are located at the elevational top or bottom of the Orifice Plate. The Weep Hole is tangent to a circle equal to 98% of the line I.D. DRAIN HOLES are located at the bottom of the Orifice Plate to prevent liquids in a gas or condensate in a steam flow from damming up behind the Orifice Plate. VENT HOLES are located at the top of the Orifice Plate to allow gases in a liquid flow to vent pass the Orifice Plate.
If the flow through a orifice doubles the differential pressure does what?
If the flow through an orifice doubles, the differential pressure across the orifice increases by a factor of four, assuming the flow remains in the laminar regime and the orifice equation applies. This relationship is derived from the orifice flow equation, which shows that flow rate is proportional to the square root of the differential pressure. Therefore, when the flow rate doubles, the differential pressure must increase to maintain the relationship.
What is impulse piping?
It is the pipe which connects upstream and downstream pressure across orifice(constrictions) to the DP Transmitter.
What can you say definitely about the pressure about the opposite sides of an orifice when oil is flowing through it?
When oil flows through an orifice, the pressure on the upstream side (before the orifice) is typically higher than the pressure on the downstream side (after the orifice). This pressure difference is necessary to overcome the resistance to flow caused by the orifice's size and shape. As oil passes through the orifice, it accelerates, resulting in a decrease in pressure on the downstream side according to Bernoulli's principle. Therefore, the pressure on the upstream side will always be greater than the pressure on the downstream side during flow.
What is straight run in control valve orifice plate?
Straight run in a control valve orifice plate refers to the length of unobstructed piping upstream and downstream of the orifice that allows for stable flow conditions. Typically, a minimum length of straight run is required to ensure that the flow profile is fully developed, which helps improve measurement accuracy and control performance. Insufficient straight run can lead to turbulence and flow disturbances, adversely affecting the operation of the valve and the overall system efficiency. Proper installation guidelines often specify the necessary straight run distances to achieve optimal performance.
Is the mass flow rate the same upstream and down stream an orifice?
Yes, the mass flow rate is the same upstream and downstream of an orifice, assuming there are no leaks and the flow is steady. This principle is based on the conservation of mass, which states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system. However, the velocity and pressure of the fluid will change as it passes through the orifice, resulting in a drop in pressure and an increase in velocity downstream.
How do you calculate Orifice plate differential pressure?
To calculate the orifice plate differential pressure, you can use the Bernoulli's equation or the ISO 5167 standard equation. Measure the pressure upstream and downstream of the orifice plate using pressure gauges, then find the difference between these two pressures to determine the differential pressure across the orifice plate.
Difference between an orifice plate and a restriction orifice?
An orifice plate is a plat eused to measure flow. Pressure sensors are placed upstream and downstream of the the plate and hepressure differential is used with Bernoullis Equation t compute flow (including some experimental factors). A retriction plate is similar to an orifice plate but is much thicker. It is used to drop pressure upstream of a system. The convergence, throttlnig through thick section and divergece works the fluid and reduces total energy (transformed in firction, heat etc). This leads to an overall pressure reduction.
Does a restriction orifice need a beveled hole?
Orifice plates which are used in flow measurement are mostly concentric "square-edge" type. The bore of the orifice is not constant when one moves from the upstream side to the downstream side along the cross section. The bore size is constant for a few mm only and then expands till it reaches the downstream face. This inclined cut is called the bevel in an orifice. The main reason to have a bevel in the orifice is to avoid turbulence thereby providing more accuracy to the measurement. Restriction Orifice plates are not beveled since their intent is to reduce the pressure only.
At what distance from orifice plate vena contracta formed Can it be calculated?
The vena contracta is typically formed at a distance of about 0.5 to 1 pipe diameter downstream from the orifice plate. The exact location can be calculated using empirical equations or CFD simulations, taking into account factors such as the flow rate, fluid properties, and orifice plate geometry.
What is integral orifice instrument?
For pipe size <1/2",and clean fluid service,it is common to use orifice installed integrally with the differential pressure Transmitter.It provides compact installation and the overall accuracy is pre-determined.
What is the working principle of orifice meter?
An obstruction (orifice) is placed in a pipe filled with fluid. The pressure of the fluid is measured at two different points: 1) just upstream of the orifice and, 2) close to the contraction of the fluid (vena contracta). The difference in these two pressures is known as differential pressure. The differential pressure across an obstruction (orifice) in a pipe of fluid is proportional to the square of the velocity of the fluid. Many factors associated with the pipe, orifice and fluid affect the measurement. Satisfactory measurement requires steady-state, homogeneous, turbulent flowing fluids. Other properties which affect the measurement include: the ratio of pipe diameter to orifice diameter and the density, temperature, compressibility and viscosity of the fluid.
Where is the fixed orifice tube located on a 1997 cougar xr7?
On my Cougar, it is on the liquid line exit from the condenser. My application has post and nut line connectors, so if you have spring locks, it might be downstream, closer to the evaporator.
How does a orifice tube go in a 379 pete?
To install an orifice tube in a Peterbilt 379, first, locate the tube within the A/C system, typically found in the liquid line between the condenser and the evaporator. Disconnect the line and carefully remove the old orifice tube using pliers. Insert the new orifice tube into the line, ensuring it is properly seated, then reconnect the line and recharge the A/C system to complete the installation. Always consult the vehicle’s service manual for specific instructions and guidelines.
