Temperature Correction for Liquid Flow
- Thread starter sav455
- Start date
Dear sav455,
A reasonably accurate correction ( without considering the orifice and pipe dia variation due to temperature) is as follows:
You need the following inputs for liquid :
1. The design density ( at design op temperature)
2. The actual liquid density at standard temperature.
3.The actual temperature at the orifice.
Calculation:
1. Calculate the actual liquid density at the actual temperature at the orice using standard tables.
2. Calculate the correction factor as
Sqrt( actual density at orifice at operating temp/ design density at design temp used in meter)
3. Use this factor to multiply the indicated flow.
In case you need to correct for Gas, ask again.
Best wishes

Thanks Reena and dcasto,
I appreciate.My problem is that I have to supply the information to a software which is supposed to do the mass balance.To my understanding as yet,It requires me to give the correction for density in form of some mathematical formula.The values of of density in tables would probably require a manual input.
The literature search that I did told me to use Standing - Katz correlation for liquid petroleum oils mixtures density calculation for pressure and temperature.
Can I get some more information about this??
Regards.
