Abstract:
This article study the correlation between flow coefficient and diameter error of upstream and downstream pipe for elbow meter used CFD simulation and experiments, the results of CFD simulation and experiments all show that the flow coefficient is significantly influenced by the diameter error, so the diameter error of upstream and downstream pipe muse be strictly controlled when the elbow meter is produced or used, or modify the flow coefficient, if error of diameter can be measured, to improve the measure accuracy in industrial applications.
