Abstract

Orifice meters are one of the most used flowmeters in the industry owing to its simple construction and easy maintenance. But high energy loss and inconsistent coefficient of discharge (Cd) of orifices are a major concern. This paper investigates the performance of an unconventional orifice plate designed for improved flow measurement. A comparative analysis was conducted using commercially available simulation software and an orifice with optimized diameter was selected and experimentally tested for radius (D-D/2), flange and corner tapping for a flow range of 34933 $$\le$$ Re $$\le$$ 122266. Results revealed that the unconventional orifice demonstrated appreciable stability in Cd and were in pace with the simulation results.
