Calculation of Expansibility Factor of Gas at Its Flow Through an Orifice Plate with Flange Pressure Tappings
The values of expansibility factor of gas were defined more accurately based on the values obtained by Seidl in CEESI using the equation of mass flowrate and on the basis of experimental data (differential pressure across the orifice plate, mass flowrate, absolute static pressure and temperature of air) for orifice plates with flange pressure tappings and diameter ratios of 0.242, 0.363, 0.484, 0.5445, 0.6655, 0.728 and pipe internal diameter of 52.48 mm (2.066 in.).
