Title: Testing Large Volume Diaphragm Gas Meters Using Sonic Nozzles

Abstract: There have been several people within the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation who were involved with the development of using sonic nozzles to productively shop test gas meters. However, Mr. Sam Fini, the former Manager of the Meter and Laboratory Facilities Department (retired December, 1981), is unquestionably the reason for its implementation. His farsightedness in recognizing the potential of sonic nozzles with regard to testing gas meters, and his tenacity toward the design and construction of a workable model, is the primary reason for Niagara Mohawks development of a Gas Meter Shop Sonic Nozzle Test Facility. I am confident that without his direction and guidance a Sonic Nozzle shop testing facility would have been eventually constructed. However, his desire to improve the state of the art, obviously made it happen faster. In addition, the electronic controls and parameter measuring enhancements provided by the Electrical Standardizing Laboratory group of the Meter and Laboratory Facilities Department for the sonic nozzle testing chamber, were important contributions.
