Suggestions for flow nozzle design please.
(OP)
I'm having trouble getting various flow curves in my hydronic system to agree with each other. My thought was to make a simple flow nozzle and calibrate it using a bucket and a timer. In use, I would like to minimize the amount of pressure drop that the flow nozzle introduces. I figure that after generating a flow curve for the nozzle it should be fairly accurate for my purposes. What I would like to know is, what dimensions of pipe, size of orifice, and location of pressure taps would give me the best results.
I am wanting to measure around 1 to 10 GPM of water within .1 GPM. The pipe size is 1" but I would like to increase the nozzle pipe size to something like 1.5" to reduce it's effect on the system.
Any help is appreciated.
