Calibration of Gas-Metering Constrictions

To extend the range of usefulness of a water calibrated metering constriction in the field of gas flow measurement, a method is described for determining the expansion coefficient (∈) which does not involve measurement of gas flow rate, while the precision of the method is such as to achieve accurac...
