Abstract: Measuring higher viscosity hydrocarbon liquids is much more interesting than measuring lower viscosity liquids for a number of very good reasons including those addressed in many published technical papers and articles. Although several different types of meters are typically discussed, quadrant-edged orifice meters are often not included in the mix. Compared to some of the more commonly used viscous flow meters, quadrant-edged orifice meters have no moving parts, are fairly inexpensive, reliable, and non-proprietary.1 As originally reported in Washington, DC in 1986 during the First International Symposium on Fluid Flow Measurement (ISFFM), a series of controlled tests performed in 1985 demonstrated the excellent characteristics of quadrant-edged orifice meters when used to measure viscous oil flowing at low Reynolds numbers and compared results to earlier work on the subject
