| Summary: | The article presents the results of numerical calculations and experimental results of a flow through the orifice. Such a measuring device was built-into the ball valve that gave unique possibility of the orifice exchange without the pipeline disassemble. The advantages of using the prototypical solution has been described. This patented solution has been tested extensively for the durability and tightness. The article contains comparison between flow character in the case of single-hole orifice and a multi-nozzle one. The prototypical measuring device has been produced and assembled in compressed air system in the Power Plant Opole, that gave experimental verification of theoretical approach. |
