Abstract: A somewhat simple, though very important type of measurement device, is the orifice meter. It consists primarily of a constriction placed within a flowing medium, and its basic function is to determine the total amount of fluid passing through a measurement system. The constricting device is a thin flat orifice plat with a concentrically precision bored hole. This hole, or orifice, changes the flow pattern of the medium, creating a measurable pressure loss. To assure accurate measurement, the orifice plate must be perfectly flat with a smooth surface and the orifice must have a sharp square edge. The orifice plate, as shown in Figure 1, should be machined in accordance with A.G.A. Report #3.
