In this study, commercial CFD code, i.e, CFX-4.3 is used to analyze the flow field and to calculate pressure differences in an orifice flowmeter. Four numerical schemes and five turbulence models are tested. Hybrid scheme and Reynolds stress model show the best performance. Chosen scheme and turbulence model are applied to predict pressure differences through the orifice for the diameter ratios, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7. And, the results are compared with the experimental data. The results show that the calculation error is inversely proportional to the diameter ratio, and is proportional to the mass flow rate.

Although the cone type venturi flow meter is superior to another differential pressure type flow meter in precision, the venturi is installed at the pipe as an L beam, so that the dynamic load due to drag force and flow-induced force is generated in the flow meter. In this paper we propose a methodology to evaluate this dynamic load directly by using stain-gages attached on the venturi and we discuss about the dynamic characteristics on the basis of flow-induced vibration theory.

A flow-meter and its measurement controller was developed for a hydraulic system. This study, for development of positive displacement flow-meter, consist of PIC(Peripheral Interface Controller) controller with MR(Magneto-resistive) sensors. This flow-meter is used valve position indicator for valve control system by hydraulic. The MR sensors are used for the rotation of OVAL gear that detecting device. In the ship environments, consideration that necessary explosive proof. Thus electro device or electro flow-meter needs explosion design for electric circuit. We designed noncontact type flow-meter and evaluated the safety and measuring abilities.

Three-dimensional pipe flows with elbows and tees for few different pipe fittings are calculated to estimate the effect of swirling flow on measuring accuracy of orifice flow meter. It is evaluated how the pressure difference across the orifice is dependent on the length of upstream straight pipe in a branch and how swirl intensity, swirl angel and axial velocity distribution affect the measuring error of orifice flowmeter. From the results, it is found that, regardless of flow rate specified in this calculation, the effect of the straight pipe length can be neglected for the lengths larger than thirty diameters although there still remain significant swirl at the orifice

In this paper, we describe study on the development or multi-path ultrasonic gas flowmeter using a transit time method. This system includes 5 pairs of ultrasonic transducers. ultrasonic signal processing unit using switch matrix method, computation algorithm of gas flow rate, spool piece type multi-path pipe unit. We have developed enhanced type of main ultrasonic signal processing unit using switch matrix method fer multi-path ultrasonic gas flowmeter. Also, we have developed the new transmitting ＆ receiving method of ultrasonic waves and the new signal processing algorithm for the computation of ultrasonic transit time from received ultrasonic waves. In this study, we have designed more compact signal processing unit compared with the conventional hardware system of multi-path ultrasonic gas flowmeter. We have confirmed its reliability for multi-path ultrasonic gas flowmeter through the laboratory test using calibration system. In the future. we will perform the field test for the developed system in the POSCO gas line.

Flow meters in partly filled pipes are set up and run in Korea nowadays, but there are no standard calibration procedures for the flow meters in accordance with ' ISO/IEC 17025. The standard calibration procedure based on the standard calibration procedures for flow meter in closed conduits and the technical notes of flow meter's makers ' is developed. The measurement uncertainty of the calibration for the flow meter in partly filled pipes is evaluated.

Five-path ultrasonic flowmeters (200 and 300 mm diameters) were tested to obtain it's characteristics in a water flow standard system. A five-path ultrasonic flowmeter was installed after various pipe fittings (elbow, valve, tee) or a pump. The distance between flow disturbance source and a flowmeter was main experimental parameter. Without a flow conditioner, a five-path ultrasonic flowmeter shows good characteristics as the distance between flow disturbance source and a flowmeter is longer than 10 diameter of a flowmeter.

Multi-path ultrasonic flowrate measuring technology is being received much attentions from a variety of industrial fields to exactly measure the flowrate. Multi-path ultrasonic flowmeter has much advantage since it has no moving parts and little pressure loss. It offers good accuracy, repeatability, linearity and turn-down ratio can be over 1:50. The present study investigates flowrate integration errors using weighting factors. A theoretical flow model uses power law to describe a fully developed velocity profiles and wall roughness is changed. Gaussian, Chebyshev, and Tailor methods are used to integrate line-average velocities. The obtained results show that Chebyshev method in 2, 4-path arrangement and Gaussian method in 3, 5-path arrangement are not affected for wall roughness changes.

하천 유량자료의 중요성이 커짐에 따라 기존 유량측정 기법의 정확도를 향상시키는 기술개발이 필요하다. 자동유량측정은 기존 유량측정방법의 한계를 극복하기 위해 많은 개발이 이루어 졌다. 최근 초음파 유량계와 더불어 자동 유량 측정 방법으로 널리 사용되고 있는 기법이 유속지수법(index velocity method)이다. 유속지수법은 기존의 수위-유량관계식이 수위만을 변수로 이용하여 발생되는 한계를 극복하기 위해 유속을 추가적인 지수로 이용하여 유량을 산정하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 유속지수법의 적용을 위해 연속적인 유속, 수위 측정이 가능한 측방형 (side-looking) Acoustic Doppler Velocity Meter(ADVM)을 괴산댐 하류에 설치·운영하고 그 결과를 이용하여 유량을 산정하는 방법을 개발하였다. 2005년부터 2008년까지 유속지수법에 의해 산정된 유량 자료의 상대오차는 댐방류량에 비해 각각 평균 5.2%, 6.7%, 6.5%, 6.5%로 나타났다. 기존의 수위-유량 관계식에 의해 산정된 유량 자료가 댐 방류량에 비해 각각 평균 9.9%, 28.6%,34.0%, 54.2%로 나타난 것과 비교한다면 상당히 높은 정확도를 보였으며, 시간에 따른 오차 발생이 적어 운영에 효율적인 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 유속지수법을 하천 유량 측정에 적용한다면 보다 정확한 유량을 연속적으로 자동화하여 측정할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
