Pressure tap location to measure pressure drop?
Pressure tap location to measure pressure drop?
(OP)
I need to measure the pressure drop across a core( lets say a restriction). Air is flowing ( around 15 g/sec) in a 4"ID tube which is very long( irrelevant). Now there is a core ( or lets call it some restriction) in the pipe which is 10" long and around 3.92" wide which fills in the 4" tube. Now where do I place the pressure taps? Do i place right near the core/restriction around 1" in front of it and 1" behind it or do i place quite some distance from it , like 6" in front of it and 6" behind it.
Any logical reason behind choosing a particular location? appreciate your reply. thanks.
