Abstract: The need for a simple and inexpensive method for field checking gas turbine meters exists. One such method called the “spin test” is described in this paper. The relationship between the ...

Abstract: A simplified analysis of the density effect and the Reynolds-number effect on the performance of a gas turbine flowmeter is presented. The analysis indicates a simple method to determine ...

Abstract: An analysis of the viscosity effect on meter accuracy of an axial-flow turbine-type flowmeter is formulated by the use of physical reasoning and experimental evidence. This analysis indicates ...

Abstract: A theoretical analysis of a gas turbine flowmeter in the measurement of pulsating flow is presented. The flow considered is periodic with repeatable but arbitrary wave shape. Both fluid drag ...

Abstract: A new metering concept of a self-correcting and self-checking turbine meter is described in which a sensor rotor downstream from the main rotor senses and responds to changes in the exit angle ...
