ENGINEERING DESIGN CALCULATION - DENNIS KIRK

ORIFICE FLOW CALCULATIONS - Refer Crane Flow of Fluids 1983 (pages 2-14 to 2-15) Ver 1.201 Instructions:
Project: Validate Calculation Provide the input data in the yellow cells and clear the green
Tag No: cells.
If Cd is not known use an initial value of 0.6 then.........
Description: Crane Flow of Fluids Example 3, page 3-14
- when data entry is complete use Autoslove to recalculate Cd.
Provide either Dynamic or Kinematic viscosity but not both.
Upstream Pipe ID d1 38.1 mm Provide either Density for incompressible or Molecular Weight for
Orifice ID d 25 mm compressible flow.
Orifice Area A =PI()*d^2/4 490.9 mm2 The green cells can be used to overide the values determined by the
Beta Ratio b =d/d1 0.656 Valid for ratios 0.2 to 0.75 application if required.
