Permanent Pressure Drop For Incompressible Fluids

For a square-edge orifice plate with flange taps:

$\frac{\Delta P_p}{\Delta P_i} = 1 - 0.24 \beta - 0.52 \beta ^2 - 0.16 \beta ^3$

where:

= permanent pressure drop

= indicated pressure drop at the flange taps

And rearranging the formula near the top of this article:

$\Delta P_i = P_1 - P_2 = \frac {Q^2 ~\rho~ (1 - \beta ^4)} {2 ~C_d^2~ A_2^2} = \frac {Q^2 ~\rho~ (1 - \beta ^4)} {2 ~C_d^2 ~A_1^2 ~\beta ^4}$

Famous quotes containing the words permanent, pressure and/or drop:

“The generations of men run on in the tide of time,
But leave their destined lineaments permanent for ever & ever.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“The mother whose self-image is dependent on her children places on those children the responsibility for her own identity, and her involvement in the details of their lives can put great pressure on the children. A child suffers when everything he or she does is extremely important to a parent; this kind of over-involvement can turn even a small problem into a crisis.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)

“Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood ... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.”
—Indira Gandhi (1917–1984)
