Determination of the uncertainty of mass flow measurement using the orifice for different values of the Reynolds number

Standard orifice flowmeters are widely used in the chemical and energy industry. Therefore, it is essential to know how accurate the measurements made with these instruments are. The paper presents an estimation of measurement uncertainty of a liquid mass flow using the orifice plate. The authors wi...
