CALIBRATION OF LARGE HIGH PRESSURE V-CONE FLOWMETERS AT HIGH REYNOLDS NUMBERS IN THE CEESI IOWA NATURAL GAS TEST FACILITY

Steve Caldwell, Tom Kegel, R. J. W. Peters
Abstract:
The paper will describe the testing of 18” (457 mm) to 28” (711 mm) V-Cone Meters over a wide Reynolds Number range to determine the Discharge Coefficients. These results will be presented in graphical form. The tests were undertaken in the CEESI Iowa Natural Gas Test Facility and details of this laboratory are given in the paper. The calibration philosophy and the uncertainties achieved will be described. The measurement assurance program for this facility was used during these tests and this will be described.
