Calibration of a laminar flowmeter
Abstract
The parameters needed to describe the flow rate through a laminar flowmeter were investigated. Development of a laminar flow element standard is described, and a theory of laminar flowmeters based on the Poiseuille-Hagan law presented. Application of the theory to the laminar flow element standard is demonstrated. Better than 0.1% precision can be achieved, for short periods (days or longer) of less than six months.
