An unique feature of the software is the Quick Method of Calculation for Orifice sizing which can be used when the Reynolds Number is greater than 30,000. This is the most common calculation! The program calculates the Reynolds number.  

The Orifice Diameter Calculations ver. 2.0 software calculates orifice diameters for square edged and sharp edged orifice plates for liquids in circular pipes. This software program is designed for use in Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP and Windows NT 3.51 or greater.

The calculations in this program generally apply for square or sharp edged orifices(circular) with corner taps and radius taps.  Also applies to  pipe taps which show greater deviation at larger diameter ratios.

With square-edged and sharp-edged circular orifices, radius taps are commonly used.  

Static holes can be from one to two pipe diameters upstream and one-half pipe diameter downstream from the orifice plate. 

 

In the July 2000 issue of Chemical Engineering Progress Page 80, the Quick Method of calculation for Orifice Diameter Calculations for Flow Measurement  program is described and illustrated. This was taken from a sampling of entries selected by CEP from the on-line CEP Software Directory at www.aiche.org/software
