APPLICATION DATA

OMG SERIES ORIFICE METERS


CORRECTING FOR CONDITIONS OUTSIDE CATALOG PARAMETERS
The capacities listed in OMG-2 and OMG-2.1 are cataloged at 60F and 1 psig upstream pressure
(specific gravity for air at 1.0, natural gas 0.60). When these conditions are not present, corrections
must be applied to the catalog flow rate.
Upstream Pressure
For an upstream pressure other than 1 psig, obtain the appropriate correction factor for upstream
pressure, then determine the corrected flow as shown.
(1)

p2 + 14.7
Cpress=

p1 + 14.7

Cpress= Upstream Pressure Correction Factor


p1 = Cataloged Upstream Pressure (1 psig)
p2 = Actual Upstream Pressure (psig)
(Note: 1psig = 27.7" W.C.)

Multiply the pressure correction factor, Cpress, by the flow determined from

the OMG capacity table to obtain the corrected flow. For example, an
OMG 115 with a .744" orifice has a capacity of 1024 SCFH natural gas at
3" P. For a 2 psig upstream pressure, the corrected flow will be 1024
SCFH X 1.03 = 1055 SCFH.

Specific Gravity
For a specific gravity other than 0.60 (natural gas) or 1.0 (air), use FORMULA 2 or TABLE 2 to
obtain the appropriate specific gravity correction factor, then determine the corrected flow as shown.

Multiply the s.g. correction factor, Cs.g., by the flow determined from the

115 with a .744" orifice has a capacity of 1024 SCFH natural gas at 3" P.
For propane, the corrected flow will be 1024 SCFH X 0.63 = 645 SCFH.

Temperature
For a gas temperature other than 60F, use FORMULA 3 or TABLE 3 to obtain the appropriate
temperature correction factor, then determine the correct flow as shown.

Ctemp = Temperature Correction Factor

Multiply the temp. correction factor, Ctemp, by the flow determined from the OMG

capacity table to obtain the corrected flow. For example, an OMG 115 with a
.744" orifice has a capacity of 1024 SCFH natural gas at 3" P. For a natural
gas temperature at 100F, the corrected flow is 1024 SCFH X .96 = 983 SCFH.

Note: If more than one correction factor is necessary, simply multiply the cataloged flow by each of the correction factors.
For all the correction factors shown above, the corrected flow will be 1024 SCFH X 1.03 X 0.63 X 0.96 = 638 SCFH.

Non Cataloged Differential Pressure And/Or Flow


To calculate differential pressure and/or flow not listed in the OMG Capacity Tables, use the Square
Root Law, Formula 4 and 5 as shown below.

(4)
Q2= Q1

p2
p1

Q2 = Unknown Flow (SCFH) @ p


Q1 = Catalog Flow (SCFH) @ p 1
p2 = Actual Pressure p @ Q 2
p1 = Catalog Pressure p @ Q 1

(5)
p2= p1

Q2
Q1

p @ Q2 ("w.c.)
p2 =
p1 = Catalog p @ Q1 ("w.c.)
Q2 = Desired Flow @ p2 (SCFH)
Q1 = Catalog Flow @ p1 (SCFH)

For example, an OMG 115 with a .744" orifice


has a flow capacity of 1024 SCFH natural gas
at 3" w.c. p, 1 psig upstream pressure and
60F. To determine the flow at 4.3" w.c. p,
plug the known variables listed below into
formula 4.
Q2 = unknown
Q1 = 1024 SCFH
p2 = 4.3" w.c. p
p1 = 3.0" w.c. p
Solving Formula 4, for Q2, the natural gas
flow is 1226 SCFH.
For example, an OMG 115 with a .744"
orifice has a flow capacity of 1024 SCFH
natural gas at 3" w.c. p , 1 psig upstream
pressure and 60F. To determine the p for
a flow of 775 SCFH, plug the known
variables listed below into formula 5.
p2 = unknown
p1 = 3" w.c. p
Q2 = 775 SCFH
Q1 = 1024 SCFH
Solving Formula 5 for p2, the natural gas
p is 1.71" w.c.

SAMPLE OMG SELECTION PROBLEM


Select an orifice meter to measure 925 cubic feet per hour natural gas at 3" w.c. pressure drop
across the orifice meter. The meter shall be installed in 1 " threaded, scheduled 40 pipe. The
specific gravity of the gas is 0.60 with an upstream pressure of 1 psig and temperature of 60F.
Using the capacity table OMG-2, select natural gas and 1 " pipe size. Next, select the 115
model number for threaded connections. Then, look in the 3" w.c. p column and find the flow
that is closest to 925 cubic feet per hour. In this case, the closest available orifice bore is 0.744"
which has a natural gas flow capacity of 1024 SCFH.
Select an OMG-115 with a 0.744" orifice.
To calculate the actual p at 925 SCFH, use formula 5.
