Abstract: SONIC NOZZLES OF ONE FORM OR ANOTHER HAVE BEEN IN USE IN THE GAS INDUSTRY AS A FIELD TEST PROVER SINCE THE EARLY 1930S. WE HAVE PROGRESSED THROUGH THE CRITICAL FLOW ORIFICE, AND MANY VARIATIONS OF THE FLOW NOZZLE TO THE DESIGN WHICH HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AND IS IN USE TODAY. THE NOZZLE SHICH IS GENERALLY IN USE TODAY IS BASICALLY THE SAME AS PROPOSED BY SMITH AND MATZ IN 1962, EXCEPT THE EXIT CONE ANGLE HAS BEEN REDUCED FROM 12 TO 7, AND THE LENGTH OF THE DIFFUSER IS DEPENDENT ON THE THROAT DIAMETER.
