Relationship between irregular shape and stardard oriifice size.
Relationship between irregular shape and stardard oriifice size.
(OP)
Hi,
I need information on how to generate the relationship between irregular shape to standard orifice size. I want to use in calculating the flow of fluid through the orifice.
I would appreciate urgent responce.
Thanks

NOW, could this idea be expanded to say a square hole, I believe it will get a resonable result. It might make for an interesting comparison.

It all depends on what you are trying to do. If you are replacing a +/-50% guess on a vent flow, you'll probably get better numbers. If you are doing custody-transfer measurement, you'll probably get sued. I don't think that I'd rely on an irregular orifice for a plant material balance, but then I've spent too much time on that sort of exercise where a +/-10% device generally results in too much uncertainty.
