A new averaging Pitot tube flow meter that has a shape similar to an Annubar® type flow meter was designed and its flow rate characteristic was evaluated. The air temperature supplied to the developed flow meter was maintained at a constant by controlling electric power supply to an electric heater during the calibration. Two kinds of differential pressure measured at the flow meter were used in calculating the H parameters, which represent characteristics of the developed flow meter. One H parameter (H) which was newly proposed in this research was calculated based on the difference between upstream pressure (stagnation pressure) at the flow meter and static pressure of the measured flow. The differential pressure is equivalent to the dynamic pressure of the flow. The other H parameter (H) which is used in a typical Annubar® type flow meter was calculated based on the difference between upstream and downstream pressure at the developed flow meters. Relationship curves between the two H parameters and the mass flow rate at the developed flow meter were obtained. The curves based on the H parameter, which uses the difference between up and down stream pressure, show different gradients for varying the controlled air temperature. However, the other curve, based on the other H parameter, which uses the dynamic pressure, can be represented by one linear curve even with varying air temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
