Orifice Flow Measurement Calculation

This document contains calculations for sizing an orifice plate flow meter used to measure air flow. It provides information on the maximum flow rate, pipe dimensions and materials, flowing conditions, fluid properties, and calculations for factors used to determine the orifice plate diameter. The calculated beta ratio is 0.6824 and the resulting orifice plate diameter should be 26mm based on the 40mm pipe schedule.
