Abstract: The orifice flow meter has been used extensively in industry for high pressure, high volume pipeline transmission applications since the early 1900s. Simple forms of the orifice meter were in existence as early as the 14th century. Popularity of the orifice meter can be attributed in part to the development of coefficient data in the 1930s that permits the user to have confidence that a meter system (tube and plate) fabricated within specified tolerances will produce acceptable measurement accuracy without requiring a flow calibration. The American Gas Association (AGA) initiated this coefficient development work and continues to provide this data as a common reference source for flow meter design and calibration.
