Experimental Research on Pressure Loss of an Olivary Flowmeter

Article Preview

Abstract:

The olivary flowmeter, a new type of differential pressure flowmeter, was presented. Its pressure loss was explored through experimental research. The experimental medium is diesel. In the condition of the same effective area of circulation, the pressure loss of the olivary and the orifice plate flowmeter was compared. As a result, the pressure loss of the olivary flowmeter is 14.9% of the orifice plate flowmeter at most, 7.2% on average. The olivary flowmeter can reduce energy consumption.
