Abstract: Wet gaa for the most part is measured by orifice meter. The positive and proportional types have become more or less non-existent due to non-flexibiUty. expense, inaccuracies and otlier causes. Tlie orifice meter is based upon measurement by velocity. If a barrel has a hole near the bottom, the rate at which fluid will run out of it depends upon the size of the hole and the height of the fluid in the barrel. About the middle of the eighteenth century the Pitot tube was developed by a Frenchman by the same name. He recognized the above principal and developed the instrument for measuring fiuids emitting from the ends of pipes and the flow of water in streams. In 1900 Forest M. Fowl and Eugene Costs conceived the idea of using the Pitot tube to measure gases in a closed pipe. These men rigged up a 4 pipe 7 3 long, bent a Pitot tube in it, and went to work. They produced right decent results between 5 and 22 differential and definitely contributed to the march of progress.
