Gas Measurement: Orifice Flow Calculations
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
Orifice Flow Calculations is an in-depth program covering the measurement of gases flowing through orifice meters. You will learn about the orifice flow rate equation and the eleven factors in the orifice meter flow constant. Tables are provided for the factors so you can work through the field measurement problems.
Target Audience
