1. INTRODUCTION
There has long been discussion about the credibility of the fitting loss coefficient data in the
ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook chapter on duct design. A forum was conducted 26 June 1983
at the Annual ASHRAE meeting in Washington, D.C. to discuss the source and accuracy of the
data. A summary of the major comments made regarding the chapter included:
(1) Some coefficient data was developed or investigated over 50 years ago.
(2) The chapter has several inaccuracies and is incomplete.
(3) Variations were as much as -42% to +54% for a 6-inch elbowfromfour different sources.
Much of the loss coefficient data listed in the chapter originated from a translation of a
Russian manuscript (Idel'chik, 1966). The main reason for this was the lack of other information for
many of the fitting constructions. His handbook is a compilation of data checked satisfactorily by
laboratory studies but also includes data obtained by crude experiments, data obtained theoretically,
data obtained from approximate calculations, and other methods. Idel'chik felt that publishing all
data available was justified since "the accuracy with which conduits and components are manufactured
and installed under industrial conditions can differ considerably from installation to installation and
also from the laboratory conditions under which most coefficients were obtained." Idel'chik warns
in his FOREWORD, "it would have been better to delay the publication of this handbook until all
coefficients could have been checked experimentally by some standard method..."
It is also this researcher's opinion that loss coefficients established by standard methods of
testing in a laboratory environment will not necessarily ensure a universal loss coefficient for a given
construction. There are two main reasons for this: First, the loss coefficients are a strong function
of the manufacturers quality control for which there is only a limited amount of in the sheet metal
industry. Projecting edges, radius of curvature at take-offs, angle tolerences, etc. can cause wide
variations in loss coefficient data for fittings from different manufacturers. In fact, it is not unusual
to have a variation of 50 percent in data on smaller sizes where these manufacturing differences
have a larger impact. Second, the loss coefficient is also a function of the turbulence of airflow.
When establishing loss coefficients in a laboratory setting, fully developed airflow is necessary to get
repeatable and accurate data. This often means test velocities will be higher than those in real
installations. Flow disturbances are also minimal in laboratory test while in real installations it is
seldom that there are many diameters between fitting of junctions. These close coupling effects can
also increase the loss coefficient by over 50 percent. Thus laboratory measured coefficients can vary
considerably from those in the actual installation. So regardless of how reliable loss coefficient data
from laboratory tests are, the designer using the information must be responsible for variations from
the laboratory setting to the installed system.
An additional problem that was discussed at the 26 June, 1983 FORUM is the lack of a
standard for testing duct and fitting performance. Even if everything else was equal: construction,
flow conditions, etc., two researchers may not have used the same methods to develop the loss
coefficient data.

1.1 Objective
As a result of the FORUM it was decided that a CONSENSUS STANDARD should be
developed for all duct and fitting research for performance. A special project committee (SPC) 120P
was formed by ASHRAE's Technical Committee (TC) 5.2 to draft Laboratory Methods ofDetermining
Flow Resistance of Air Ducts and Fittings which is to become an ASHRAE standard.
In addition, CONSENSUS WORK STATEMENTS for accomplishing the fitting research
would be generated to obtain loss coefficients for important fittings. Initial research was also to be
used to help the SPC 120P committee develop the new standard. Because of the magnitude of the
number of fittings to be tested, the research was to be done in phases.
The objective of the initial research was threefold:
(1)

To determine the pressure loss coefficients of selected HVAC fittings and compare
to data in Chapter 33 of the 1985 Fundamentals Handbook

(2)

To extend fitting data in the Handbook

(3)

To provide data for use by SPC 120 in preparing an ASHRAE standard for
Laboratory Methods of Determining Flow Resistance of Air Duct and Fittings.

Research Project 551-RP was created to obtain these objectives.


1.2 Fittings Tested
The fittings tested in this initial research were selected by the oversight committee and are
shown in Tables 1 through 13.
In addition to determining loss coefficients for the different constructions, the 30 and 45,
10-inch mitered elbow of Plate 2 was to be used to establish the exit length required to eliminate the
influence of downstream pressure tap locations on the fitting loss determinations (see Table 2).
Also the 10-inch, 90, 5-piece, r/D = 1.0 elbow from Plate 1, and the 10-inch, 90, mitered
elbow of Plate 2 were tested to determine when the downstream pressure gradient of the duct
became equal to the upstream duct pressure gradient, varying both the upstream and downstream
piezometer pressure measurement locations. The original work statements only called to vary the
downstream locations, but research showed both caused changes (see Table 4).
Additional tests were added per the oversight committee's request to determine the accuracy
of a pitot traverse vs an orifice metering station (see Table 5).
Two vane constructions were to be tested in accordance with Plate 6 requirements (see Table
8); these were a Type 1 which was a single thickness vane with a trailing edge and a Type 2 which
is a double thickness vane without the trailing edge. Both types were to have a vane radius of 2
inches and vane spacing of V/z inches. The 551-RP Oversight Committee requested that the Type
1 vane be instead tested without the trailing edge; this is reflected in the data and coefficients. These
fittings were originally made incorrectly with a radius of 4.5 inches and spacing of 3 1/4 inches. These
4

were tested anyway and that data in included in the report along with the requested vane
configurations. The correct fittings for Plate 6 were also tested with flow in both directions.
The fittings for Plate 8 were originally constructed with the wrong angle. These were remade
but the original offsets with the incorrect angle were also tested (see Table 10).

1.3 Test Equipment


Metering Tubes
An OGASGO Oil and Gas Specialties company orifice metering tube was used to measure
the main air flow rate during the tests and to calibrate a secondary airflow instrument. The
specifications are given in Appendix D pages D.l and D.2.
A secondary orifice metering station was constructed as shown in Figure D.3. This tube was
calibrated against the OGASCO metering station.
Meriam Instrument Orifice plates were used in both of the above orifice meters. The
specifications for these plates are given on pages D.4 through D.6.
Piezometer Stations
Piezometer stations were built according to Figure D.3a and D.3b on page D.7. Four taps
were spaced at 90 intervals at a distance one diameter from the upstream flanges. Tap
specifications used are given in Figure D.4 on page D.8. A piezometer ring as suggested by
the SPC 120P committee was used to connect the taps as shown in Figure D.5 on page D.9.
Thermometers
Thermometers were from Weksler Instruments with specifications as shown on page D.10 for
a catalog No. AA6L-7 with 7 inch scale size, 0-120F, and 1F increments.
Manometers
Three Dwyer Durablock Inclined-Vertical Manometers were used to measure static pressures
or pressure differentials.
These included Models No. 421-5, 421-10 and 422-23.
Specifications for these models are given on page D.ll.
Two Meriam Instruments inclined manometers were also used to measure static or differential
pressure. These manometers have aO-12 in. wg range, 0.01 in. wg scale markings and 0.01
in. wg accuracy.
When necessary, a Meri-Cal digital manometer Model No. DP200I was used to measure static

2. TEST PROCEDURES AND CALCULATIONS


As part of the research was to aide the SPC120P committee in developing a standard method
of determining flow resistance of air ducts and fittings, some of the required lengths and velocity
ranges changed as the standard evolved. When work began, Draft 3 of the standard had been
written. At the time of this report the committee is currently reviewing Draft 8b. The procedures
detailed reflect those used, not necessarily those which are in the current standard.
The general test procedure was to determine the zero length dynamic loss of the fitting, then
reduce the data to a loss coefficient through either regression analysis or for some fittings, by dividing
by the sections local velocity pressure. The regression analysis was used for single-flow fittings while
the second method was used for divided flow fittings. In either case, the friction loss of the duct to
the center line of the fitting was subtracted before determining the dynamic loss or loss coefficient.
Procedures outlined in the SPC 120P standard were used to determine the friction loss rate of the
various sizes of duct. The following general procedure was used for all tests:
(1)

Set up the test in accordance with the then current draft of the SPC 120P Standard. All
instruments had already been calibrated.

(2)

Reinforce the duct for maximum internal static pressure according to the guidelines and
standards referenced in the ASHRAE Handbook, 1988 Equipment Volume. Chapter 1, Duct
Construction.

(3)

Establish the minimum test volumetric flow rate. Seal and leak test the system so that the
total leakage is less than 0.5% of the minimum test flow rate.

(4)

Leak check the pressure measuring lines to insure the lines are pressure tight.

(5)

Record a complete description of the test and test setup as well as instruments used.

(6)

Adjust the flow control device to generate the needed volumetric flow rate for a test point
and establish equilibrium conditions.

19

(7)

At the start of the test record the time, the ambient dry-bulb temperate (t*,), ambient wetbulb temperature (t^,), ambient barometric pressure (pb) and dry-bulb temperature at the exit
of the duct (td).

(8)

Record measurements required to determine the volumetric flow rate.

(9)

Simultaneously, when possible, record pressure(s) or pressure drop(s) required to establish


the test duct or fitting performance for the volumetric flow rate measured in Step (8).

(10)

Re-establish a new volumetric flow rate and equilibrium point per Step (6), then repeat Steps
(8) and (9).

(11)

Repeat Step (10) for all required test points.

(12)

Repeat Step (7) at the end of the test.

FLOW RATE EQUATIONS


The equations to calculate the volume rate of airflow through the main orifice metering tube
was not taken from the SPC 120P standard as it had not yet been reviewed. Instead it was from
Fluid Meters, Sixth Edition, 1971, published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Refer

FRICTION LOSS OF DUCT


The friction loss per 100 ft. of duct is usually given by the Darcey-Weisbach equation:

The friction factor, f, can be estimated from a Moody diagram as a function of the Reynold's Number
and surface roughness. The surface roughness for the test duct may not be the published value,
especially if joints are part of the system. The duct friction loss should be measured for the length
of duct used in the fittings test prior to testing the fittings. Because the friction pressure loss will not
vary exactly as the square of the velocity (as implied by the Darcey-Weisbach equation) a regression
analysis should be done for an equation in the form of:

Because pt will be relatively constant over the test conditions, a regression of the A p u and V data
will yield "n" from the slope (directly) and f

from the intercept.

2.1 Elbows/Offsets
Plates 1 through 3 and 5 through 8 are nonjunction duct fittings which used a test setup
similar to that shown in Figure A.3. The friction was measured prior to testing the fitting using the
methods previously described. A slip coupling was inserted where the test fitting was to be located
when the friction loss was characterized. The fitting zero length dynamic pressure loss was calculated
using Equation 17.

The test procedure is described in the previous section. Ten data points were recorded for
each fitting, and Ap u was plotted versus the velocity pressure. The loss coefficient of the fittings was
determined by a regression of an equation in the form of Equation 18.

Equation 18 shows that the loss coefficient, C, is the slope of a regression line of A p u versus

2.2 Orifice Inlet
Plate 4 fittings are duct mounted entry fittings. The test setup is shown in Figure A.4. The
friction loss of the duct had been measured in previous tests. Equation 19 is used to calculate the
zero length dynamic fitting loss.

recorded for each inlet fitting. The zero length dynamic pressure loss was plotted versus both the
orifice velocity pressure and the duct velocity pressure. The inlet orifice loss coefficient was
determined from the slope of a regression line of both plots using equations of the form shown in
Equations 20 and 21.

2.3 Diverging Branch Fittings


Plates 9 and 10 are diverging flow fittings. The test setup is shown in Figure A.5 with the
second orifice metering station downstream of the branch. Both the main and branch portions of the
fittings have associated loss coefficients so the zero length dynamic loss of both the main and branch
sections must be determined.

The test procedure is described in the introduction to Section 2. However, to fully
characterize the fitting a velocity ratio was established by adjusting volume dampers in the
downstream main and branch sections. With the velocity ratio set, the main flow rate was adjusted
for ten values. Data was recorded for each flow condition. After the initial ten sets of data were
recorded, the dampers were again adjusted to establish a new velocity ratio and the flow rate was
again adjusted ten times and data recorded for each flow condition. This was repeated until ten
velocity ratios had been established, each with ten main flow conditions (100 total sets of data points).
The loss coefficients for the main and branch were calculated for the test condition only. A linear
regression was not useful since the loss coefficient varied as a function of the area and flow rate
ratios.

For the diverging flow fittings, the main downstream mass flow rate was calculated by subtracting the
mass flow rate in the branch from the main upstream mass flow rate. Equations 13 through 15 were
then applied to determine the velocity pressures.
2.4 Single-Flow Branch Fittings
Plate 11 was'a single-flow branch fitting where the duct downstream of the fitting had a
different cross-section than the upstream duct. The test setup was similar to the diverging flow setup
of Figure A 5 with the main capped off. The equation used to calculate the zero length dynamic
pressure loss is the same as Equation 23. Equation 25 defines the loss coefficient of this type of
fitting and a regression of pv3 vs Ap u for ten flow conditions yields Q as the slope of the line.
2.5 Error Analysis
The 8th draft of the SPC 120P Standard (Laboratory Methods of Determining Flow Resistance
of Air Ducts and Fittings, May 1990) describes the type of errors which can occur during laboratory
tests. For single tests only an estimate of the error is possible. This requires knowing the uncertainty
interval of a given measurement and the odds of falling within this measurement. This data is usually
supplied with manufacturers' equipment as calculation data or is known from industry standards for
30

rigid construction specifications. The uncertainty for a final result is approximated by combining all
of the estimated error for each testing device into a single total error by quadrature or root-mean
square.

3. TEST RESULTS
The test results are presented for each Plate in this section. Graphs of the zero length
dynamic loss are given in Appendix B.l. Tables of loss coefficients are given in Appendix B.2.
3.1 Plate 1. Elbow. 90. 5-Piece. Round
Figure B.l.l, B.1.2, and B.1.3 are graphs which compare elbows of the same diameter but with
different r/D ratios. The 90 mitered elbows from Plate 2 were added to the curves for comparison.
The same trend was apparent for all sizes. The mitered elbow was consistently a very poor
performer, more than doubling the loss of the next best fitting, the r/D = 0.75 elbow. The r/D =
1.0 elbow showed improved performance over the r/D = 0.75 elbow and the r/D = 1.5 elbow again
improved performance over the r/D = 1.0 elbow by about the same magnitude. However, the r/D
= 2.0 elbow did not show a significant improvement over the r/D = 1.5 elbow.
The elbow performance was compared versus data given in the 1985 ASHRAE
FUNDAMENTALS, Chapter 33, as well as for a size effect. Graphs of these results are given in
Figures B.1.4 through B.1.7. Figure B.8 graphs the relationship between diameter and loss
coefficients. The loss coefficients for Plate 1 were also plotted as a function of Reynolds' Number
in Figure B.1.9. The data for Plate 1 is also presented in Table B.2.1 as loss coefficients. The
ASHRAE data is given as a single loss coefficient. The measured values bracket the ASHRAE value.
The accuracy of the very low loss fittings is questionable. Although the velocities were above
the minimum required of 1800 fpm, the measured pressure loss was not greater than 0.3 in. wg until
the velocity reached approximately 3000 fpm for the 14-inch, r/D = 1.5 and r/D = 2.0 elbows. In fact
the maximum pressure loss was just greater than 0.60 in. wg at 4000 fpm. The relatively high friction
loss compared to the fitting loss, which is subtracted from measured pressure loss, also contributes
to the potential inaccuracy. This same effect is seen with the 14-inch, 30 mitered elbow, which is
discussed in the next section.
3.2 Plate 2. Elbow. Mitered. Round
The mitered elbows tested from Plate 2 were compared for elbows of the same size, but
different angles as shown in Figures B.1.10, B.l.ll, and B.1.12. Again an obvious trend developed;
the 90 mitered elbows pressure losses are four to ten times those of the 45 elbows. The 30 mitered
elbows show even less pressure loss.
The mitered elbow performance data is also compared against ASHRAE loss coefficients and
for a size effect. Figures B.1.13, B.1.14, and B.1.15 are graphs of the mitered elbows, with the same
angle of construction, but varying diameters. Figure B.1.16 graphs the relationship between diameter
and loss coefficient. The loss coefficients for Plate 2 are also plotted as a function of Reynolds'
Number in Figure B.1.17. Table B.2.2 presents the data in loss coefficient form. The data for the
30 elbows was erratic as seen on Figure B.l.ll. The 6-inch, 30 elbow has a higher loss coefficient
31

than the 10-inch elbow, but lower zero length dynamic pressure losses when the friction loss was
subtracted from the measures pressure drop. The low loss of the fitting, even at high velocities, was
such that the accuracy becomes questionable. In fact the 14-inch, mitered, 30 elbow showed a
negative loss coefficient (but very close to zero). Figures B.1.12 and B.1.13 do show a size effect and
the ASHRAE data is bracketed.
3.3 Plate 3. 30 Mitered Offset. Z-Shaved. Round
The offset performance data for Plate 3 is graphed in Figures B.1.18 through B.1.24. Figures
B.1.18, B.1.19, and B.1.20 show comparisons of offsets of the same diameter but varying L/D ratios.
There was not an obvious pattern to the data. The 6-inch offset shows the L/D = 3.0 as having the
worst performance, followed by the L/D = min (0.71) offset, then the L/D = 1.0 offset. The 10-inch
offset shows the L/D = min (0.65) as being the worst performer, followed by the L/D = 1.0 and L/D
= 3.0 while the 14-inch offset shows the L/D = 1.0 as being the worst performer followed by the L/D
= 3.0 and L/D = min (0.53). The constructions tested are shown in Figure A.6. A viable
explanation for the difference in patterns for the different sizes is that the friction loss is affected by
the different constructions. The friction loss may actually be higher or lower than that measured
because of air turbulence caused by the Gtting constructions. However, it should be noted that these
are also relatively good (low loss) performing fittings and most of the pressure loss measurements
were very low. The 10-inch and 14-inch offset tests did not have a measured pressure loss greater
than 0.3 in. wg until the velocity was greater than 2700 fpm. The 6-inch offset test did not have a
measured pressure loss greater than 0.3 in. wg until the velocity was close to 2400 fpm (the upper
range for the 6-inch test) and in fact the L/D = 1.0, 6-inch offset did not have a measured pressure
drop greater than 0.3 in. wg even at 2600 fpm. So again the accuracy of the low pressure loss fitting
is questionable because of the relatively high friction loss being subtracted from the measured values.
The L/D = min and L/D = 3.0 offsets established the same pattern as the elbows in that the
smaller sizes are worse performers (see Figures B.1.22 and B.1.23). However, the L/D = 1.0 offset
exhibited a peculiar phenomena (Figure B.1.21) in that this size effect was reversed. The 6-inch
offset was the best performer while the 14-inch offset was the worst. Again the data brackets the
published values given by the ASHRAE Fundamentals Chapter. The relationship between diameter
and loss coefficient is shown in Figure B.1.24. Table B.2.3 lists the loss coefficients for the various
constructions.
3.4 Plate 4. Orifice. Inlet Duct. Round
These zero length dynamic pressure losses for Plate 4 are graphed in Figures B.1.25 through
B.1.37. When the zero length dynamic pressure loss is plotted versus the duct velocity pressure, the
loss coefficients tend to be quite high. Up to almost 90 for the D./D = 0.4 orifice inlet. There are
significant differences in the loss coefficients as a function of D./D but there is no significant
difference in loss coefficients as a function of duct diameter.
The loss coefficient data for D ,/D = 0.6 presented in the ASHRAE manual is approximately
that measured by these experiments. ASHRAE data is not presented for Do/D = 0.4. (ASHRAE
data is presented as A ./A not Do/D; values were converted for this report). Table B.2.4 data list
the loss coefficients referenced to both the duct velocity pressure and the orifice velocity pressure.

32

The Plate 4, Orifice, Inlet Duct, Round required that the orifice hole be formed by a
MALCO hole cutter equipped with a mill-type cutting bit out of a 16 gauge material. After
contacting a MALCO representative, we found that the hole cutter should only be used on 20 gauge
or lighter material. This information was passed on to Glen Brower, chairman of the Oversight
Committee, who, via a telephone conversation on 28 November, 1988, verbally approved the use of
20 gauge material.
3.5 Plate 5. Elbow. 90. Radius without Vanes. Rectangular
The original work statement included testing the 32 x 8, r/W = 0.75 and r/W = 1.5 elbows
without reinforcement and again with enough reinforcement to limit the elbow wall deflection to 0.10
in. However, when those elbows were tested neither had deflection greater than 0.10 inch without
reinforcement. In fact, the deflection from 0 (zero) of the 32 x 8 elbow, with r/W 0.75 was only
about 0.001 inch at 9 in. wg. (leakage pressure; actual test pressure at the elbow was less than 1 in.
wg). The 32 x 8, r/W =1.5 elbow only deflected 0.06 inch at over 10 in. wg (again a leakage test
pressure; actual test pressure was less than 0.5 in. wg). Because of the minimal unreinforced
deflection, the elbows were not retested with reinforcement.
Instead it was felt that the 8 x 32 elbows (both r/W = 0.75 and r/W = 1.5) should be tested
with reinforcement since there is a much larger flat surface than on the 32 x 8 elbows. During these
tests deflection was measured for each flow rate. However, even on these the unreinforced elbows
deflection never exceeded 0.10 inch. Reinforcement was placed on the elbows anyway and they were
again tested. The reinforcements were placed at the 45 radius for the r/W = 0.75 elbow and at the
30 and 60 radius locations for the r/W = 1.5 elbow. The reinforcements essentially only seemed
to deform the original shape of the elbow although deflection was even more minimal. The
deformation seemed to increase the loss coefficients slightly although the pressure losses of both
reinforced and unreinforced were with each others error limits.
The 8 x 32, r/W = 1.5 elbow shows extremely low values of coefficients (close to zero) on
both the reinforced and unreinforced test. Although the coefficients probably are not negative, the
low values of measured pressure tend to produce higher percentage errors and as in previous reports,
very low loss fittings as difficult to characterize accurately.
The performance data for Plate 5 is graphed in Figures B.1.38 through B.1.44. Figures B.1.38
through B.1.40 show comparisons of same size elbows with varying r/W ratios as well as with and
without reinforcement. The loss coefficients for the r/W = 0.75 elbows were much higher than the
loss coefficients for the r/W = 1.5 for all sizes tested.
The data is compared for the same r/W ratio in Figures B.1.41 through B.1.44. The data for
32 x 8 and 8 x 32 elbows is graphed for comparison with the 16 x 8 data (Figures B.1.41 and B.1.43)
and again by themselves (Figures B.1.42 and B.1.44). ASHRAE values for these calculations are also
graphed.
A comparison with ASHRAE data shows notable differences. Only the 32 x 8 r/W = 1.5 data
is close to the ASHRAE published values. This is seen on both graphs and Table B.2.5 which list
the loss coefficients.

33

3.6 Plate 6. Elbow. Mitered (90) with Vanes. Rectangular


The zero length dynamic pressure losses for Plate 6 are plotted in Figure B.1.45 and B.1.46.
The loss coefficients are listed in Table B.2.6.
Two vane constructions were to be tested in accordance with Plate 6 requirements; these were
a Type 1 which was a single thickness vane with a trailing edge and a Type 2 which is a double
thickness vane without the trailing edge. Both types were to have a vane radius of 2 inches and vane
spacing of IV2 inches. The Oversight Committee requested that the Type 1 vane be instead tested
without the trailing edge; this is reflected in the data and coefficients. The fittings were originally
made incorrectly with a radius of 4.5 inches and spacing of 3Vi inches. These were tested anyway and
the data is reported in Table B.1.6 along with the requested vane configurations and is also included
in the graph of Figure B.1.45. The correct fittings were tested with flow in both directions. Six total
tests are reflected in Table B.2.6.
The 3V4-inch vane spacing, 4.5-inch radius elbows show higher loss coefficients than ASHRAE
reports for the double-thickness vanes. The Type 1 and Type 2 vane coefficients for the 3J/4-inch
vane spacing, 4.5-inch radius elbows were relatively close when compared to the differences between
the Type 1 and Type 2 for the 2-inch radius, lVWnch spacing vanes. The 3V4-inch radius, 4.5-inch
spacing vane data is plotted in Figure B.1.46. The Type 2 vanes are much less efficient than the Type
1 vanes for the 2-inch radius, lV2-inch spaced vanes, with loss coefficients of 0.34 and 0.38 compared
to 0.11 and 0.08.
When comparing the elbows with the 3V4-inch radius 4.5-inch vane spacing, with the 2-inch
radius, l^-inch vane spacing for the Type 1 vanes, the 1-inch radius, P/i-inch vane spacing is much
more efficient. However the Type 2 vanes do not show much difference between the vane
construction although the 2-inch radius, lV^-inch spacing are still more efficient.
3.7 Plate 7. 30 Mitered Offset. Z-Shaped. Rectangular
The zero length dynamic pressure losses for Plate 7 are graphed in Figures B.1.47 and B.1.48.
The loss coefficients are listed in Table B.2.7.
There is no available ASHRAE data to compare with the Rectangular, 30 Mitered Offset,
Z-shaped fitting. Data for all six tests are plotted in Figure B.1.47 for comparison. However,
because of the narrow tested flow ranges, the 32 x 8 data was regraphed on an expanded scale in
Figure B.1.48.
The loss coefficients in Table B.2.7 and data graphed in Figures B.1.47 and B.1.48 show the
4-inch and 8-inch offsets to have low and close loss coefficients while the 12-inch offset loss
coefficients are higher.
3.8 Plate 8. 30 Radius Offset. Rectangular
The zero length dynamic pressure losses for Plate 8 are graphed in Figures B.1.49 through
B.1.52. The loss coefficients are listed in Table B.2.8.

The original Plate 8 specifications did not call out either the offset angle or the offset length.
The Oversight Committee suggested using 30 offsets and these were subsequently ordered from a
local contractor. Unfortunately the contractor did not adhere to the 30. The data in Figures B.1.49
and B.1.50 show the constructed angles. The fittings were remade and retested with the 30 angles.
Figures B.1.51 and B.1.52 show data for the 30 angle offsets. The original angles were less
than 30 and show much lower coefficients. The original angles also varied by fitting. The retested
fitting shows a consistent pattern of higher loss coefficients for smaller offset dimensions. Also the
smaller cross-section fittings 16 x 8 show a higher loss coefflcient. There was no available ASHRAE
data with which to compare the results.
3.9 Plate 9. Divermm Tee. Rectangular Main to Round Tap
The zero length loss coefficients for Plate 9, are graphed in Figures B.1.53 through B.1.57.
The loss coefficients are listed in Tables B.2.9 through B.2.14.
The data presented in Tables B.2.9 through B.2.14 are the average loss coefficient for each
of the fittings tested at the respective flow rate ratios, for both the branch and the straight-through.
The ASHRAE coefficients had to be converted for comparisons because they are referenced to the
common rather than their respective sections. The following equations were used to convert the loss
coefficients.

Several ASHRAE entries in Tables B.2.9 through B.2.14 are "N/A" because they were not
within the currently available range. Part of the project was to fill out the loss coefficient table,
however.
The individual data points had potential for large errors as shown by the error bars on the
graph of all loss coefficients in Figures B.1.53 and B.1.54 because very low velocities often occurred
in the branch. These errors tend to be minimized though, when averaging ten data points for each
flow rate ratio. The resultant average values of loss coefficients, and error bars representing the
standard deviation of the data (of the loss coefficients and flow rate ratios) are graphed in Figures
B.1.55 and B.1.56.
Observation of the results show the branch loss coefficient is a function of the branch to
common area ratio. As the area ratio increases so does the branch loss coefficient for a given flow
rate ratio (QJQC). The loss coefficient curve remained fairly constant for the straight-through loss
35

which had a constant area ratio of A^A,. = 1.0 for all Gttings.
The test results show higher loss coefficients for both the branch and straight-through sections
than the ASHRAE data indicates (from 1985 ASHRAE Handbook, Fitting 6-26, pg. 33.45). Where
comparisons could be made the branch coefficients measured from the tests were generally about 20
to 50 percent higher than in the ASHRAE Handbook, while the straight-through coefficients were
over twice the value given in the Handbook.
3.10 Plate 10. Diverging Tee. Rectangular Main to Rectangular Tap with 45 Entry
The zero length loss coefficients for Plate 10 are plotted in Figures B.1.57 through B.1.60.
The loss coefficients are listed in Tables B.2.15 through B.2.20.
The data presented in Tables B.2.15 through B.2.20 are also the average loss coefficients for
each of the fittings tested at the respective flow rate ratios, for both the branch and straight-through.
The ASHRAE coefficients were determined as given above for Plate 9, but for Fitting 6-29, pg. 33.46
of the Handbook.
The ASHRAE entries in Tables B.2.15 through B.2.20 which are "N/A" are outside of the
range of data presented in the 1985 Handbook.
Also there is potential for large errors as shown by the error bars in the graph of all loss
coefficients in Figures B.1.57 and B.1.58. The errors are minimized through averaging data at
common flow rate ratios. The resultant curves of averaged data are graphed in Figures B.1.59 and
B.1.60. The curves are smooth and the error bars, representing the standard deviation of the data
are small.
These results also show the loss coefficients are functions of the area ratios. As the area ratio
increases, so does the loss coefficient. The straight-through loss coefficient curve shows similar results
as for Plate 9 as well, with a fairly constant curve for all Gttings tested.
When comparing the data in B.2.15 through B.2.20 with ASHRAE values, the branch
coefficients are generally slightly lower. However, the straight-through losses are again over twice
as high as the ASHRAE data shows, but they are close to the values calculated for the straightthrough sections of Plate 9.
3.11 Plate 11. Round Tap with Cushion Head
The zero length dynamic pressure losses for Plate 11 are graphed in Figures B.1.61 and
B.1.62. The loss coefficients are listed in Table B.2.21.
The loss coefficients for Plate 11 are plotted for different cushion head lengths, L in Figure
B.1.61 and B.1.63.
The zero length dynamic pressure losses for the cushion head of 4 inches and the cushion of
1 diameter were very close in magnitude, while a cushion head at the average of these two values (L
= 7 inches for the 10-inch tap and L = 9 inches for the 14-inch tap) was over 25% higher in both
cases. There was no ASHRAE data available for comparison.

3.12 Scope 2.2 Work


The 30 and 45, 10-inch, mitered elbows of Plate 2 were used to try to determine the exit
length required to minimize the influence of the downstream pressure tap locations on the fitting loss
determination. Four exit lengths were used including 10,15, 20, and 25 diameters. The data is
presented graphically in Figure B.1.63 and B.1.64. Table B.1.22 lists the loss coefficients and shows
the loss coefficient consistantly increased as the length downstream increased. The downstream
diameters vs the zero length dynamic loss coefficients are graphed in Figure B.1.65. This data was
reduced using friction loss data for 10, 15, 20, and 25 diameter lengths respectively.
3.13 Scope 2.3 Work
The 10-inch, Elbow, 90, 5-Piece, Round, r/D = 1.0 from Plate 1 and the 10-inch, Elbow,
Mitered, Round, 90 from Plate 2 were used in the scope 2.3 work. The objective of these tests was
to increase the exit duct length until the downstream pressure gradient became constant. To do this
we:
1.

Used 25 diameters of duct length with one joint and measured the friction loss.

2.

Took another identical section, with one joint in the same location as before, and
measured this section's friction loss as well.

3.

The first piece was placed upstream from the fitting while the second piece was
placed downstream of the fitting.

The pressure gradient tests were run to show the effects of varying upstream lengths of ducts
from the upstream measuring station to the test fitting and downstream lengths of ducts from the test
fitting to the downstream measuring station, on the performance of the fitting. The friction loss data
that was used to subtract the friction loss of the other 10 inch diameter performance tests was also
used for these tests. It was based on 25 diameters and friction pressure loss was calculated using
Equation 12 with /

= 0.0185 and n = 1.812.

In order to check the effect of the upstream length, (1), and downstream length (2), [see
Figure A.7 on the fitting performance], these lengths were varied by set amounts and the friction
losses of Lj (upstream length of (1)) and 1^ (downstream of length (2)) were determined. It was
thought that if the friction losses were the same as before the fitting was inserted, the ductwork
(either the upstream or the downstream) was not having an effect on the fitting performance. The
initial values of f

/
n

and n for the upstream length, 1^ and the downstream length, Li are:
Upstream
(length LO

Downstream
(length L,)

0.0187
1.932

0.0195
1.904

37

Both Lj and 1^ were 22' 8" long. Table B.2.23 summarizes the friction loss results of the 24
tests that were conducted to compare friction loss of the upstream length Lj and downstream length
Lj to the original values. For both the mitered elbow and the r/D = 1.0 elbow the 1 diameter
upstream, 25 diameter downstream tests showed friction losses closest to the original values (average
of upstream and of downstream percent difference) except the 1 diameter upstream, 15 diameter
downstream tests for the r/D = 1.0 elbow was slightly better than the 1 diameter upstream, 25
diameter downstream tests. The average percent difference is the average of the difference between
losses, calculated for 8 velocities at standard conditions, using the original f

and n values for either

the upstream or downstream and the f and n values from the test being compared. The friction
loss was always higher than the original values for both of the upstream and downstream sections (1^
and Lj) when the fitting was in place.
Figures B.1.66 through B.1.69 show the best and worst percent difference from the original
friction loss for both the r/D = 1.0 and the mitered elbow pressure gradient test. The 3 diameter
upstream tests gave the worst average results (except for the 1 diameter upstream, 20 diameter
downstream test which may have incorrect data as it was not consistent with the other results).
The tests for which the friction loss of the upstream and downstream pressure gradients were
closest to their pre-fitting test values, show loss coefficients with the highest values. The loss
coefficients are listed in Table B.2.24.
3.14 Pilot Tube Traverse vs Orifice Metering Station
Part of the scope of the 571-RP project was to assist the SPC 120P committee in preparing
an airflow laboratory procedure. The committee asked United McGill to include as part of the work
for the 571-RP, measurements and comparisons of a pitot traverse versus an orifice meter.
Pitot traverse tests were run to try to quantify some of the differences that exist between an
orifice metering station and a pitot tube traverse when both are used to measure flow rates. The test
setup is shown in Figure A.8. The traverse points taken are given in Figure A.9. The test used a
Dwyer stainless steel pitot tube Model 160-18 (see page D.15 for pitot tube dimensions).
Measurements at the orifice tube were made with the Meriam 0-12 inch inclined manometer.
Measurements at the pitot tube traverse plane were made with a Dwyer 0-5 inch manometer. Both
manometers were previously calibrated against Dwyer model no. 1425-12 (0-12 inch) hook gauge.
Eight comparisons were made for velocities between 500 fpm and 4000 fpm.
Table B.2.25 shows the results of the test normalized to average velocity. Both instruments
are in agreement at high velocities but the difference becomes large at low velocities.

4. DISCUSSION
Several items require further discussion as a result of the tests. This includes elbow loss
coefficients which have in the past been assumed to be a function of type of construction only. Test
data indicate that size significantly effects the coefficients as well. Coefficients for other fittings as
they vary from ASHRAE data are also discussed. Finally, studies for the SPC 120P standards are
38

discussed. Recommendations for future work is given in the next section.


4.1 Round Elbows and Offsets Loss Coefficients/Size Effect
There was some concern by the 574-RP Oversight Committee about the results of loss
coefficients of round elbows and offsets. The loss coefficient decreased as the cross sectional
diameter of the elbow measured. This occurred very consistently as shown in Figure B.1.8 and B.1.16
of Plates 2 and 3 respectively. It also occurred consistently for the round offsets as shown in Figure
B.1.24. This supposed anomoly was thought to be a Reynold's Number effect, but when the elbow
loss coefficients were plotted against Reynold's number, only a weak relationship was established (see
Figure B.1.9 and B.1.17) as the data shows several discontinuous jumps in the loss coefficients. Other
reviewers felt that the data may simply be wrong, but similar results were found by other researchers
in previous work when tests were conducted by the same methods. Jones (1958) states that there
is a substantial diameter effect on the elbow pressure loss which is verified by his test results. He
attributed the variation in losses to dimensional and internal surface effects. Jones says the
dimensional effects are at least partly attributable to the elbow connections because the elbows slip
into the duct so that the average air-velocity in the elbow exceeds that in the duct. This effect for
our tests however should have been reduced because the friction loss of the test duct was conducted
with a slip coupling inserted where the test elbow was to be placed. In any case if the loss coefficient
of a coupling was subtracted from the elbows losses of both Jones and our data there are still
significant size effects. Jones says the internal surface effects are the sum of three individual effects:
(1) the dynamic loss of a "dead smooth" band which depends only on the radius of curvature, (2) a
roughness effect depending on the surface material and Reynold's Number and (3) an entrance effect
due to the diameter change from duct to elbow. The size effect Jones measured is shown clearly in
Figure 2 of his 1950 test report for a 2-piece, 1.5 centerline radius, smooth elbow.
In Eschman and Lang's (1968) literature search in Figures 5 and 6 show that the size effect
of die-stamped elbows and 5-piece elbows was published by United McGill Corporation in their 1963
Engineering Design Manual.
Locklin (1950) had previously done a survey of literature on pressure losses for 90 elbows.
In Figure 3 of his paper one can see that for research conducted on different diameter elbows there
was a definite size effect on the "total loss coefficient." The total loss coefficient however does not
deduct the friction loss to the centerline of the fitting. Laughlin suggests using the Pigott equation
to determine the "net" (minus the friction loss of the elbow) loss coefficient from
*' = O.lOeWD)-*5 + 2000/ Z5

[28]

where:
k'

RjD =

net loss coefficient or the total loss coefficient minus the friction loss
calculated over the actual length of the elbow
radius of curvature of the elbow

39

friction factor per the material roughness and Reynolds Number.

For a given R/D ratio, Equation 28 has two parts; a constant equal to 0.106(R/D)"" and a
variable part that is a function of the friction factor, f (2000f"). Note that f however is a function
of material roughness, e, diameter and Reynolds Number. Using the modified Altshul equation
(ASHRAE 1989 FUNDAMENTALS, pg. 32.5), Equation 28 is graphed for varying diameters in
Figure B.1.70 for different R/D ratios. Reynolds Number was set equal to 1,000,000 and a material
roughness of e = 0.0003 was assumed. The shape of the curves show a definite size effect. The
curves are very similar in shape to those published by United McGill Corporation (United McGill
Corporation, 1985, Report No. SRF1285). The actual loss coefficients measured in the 571-RP test
program were higher in the 6- and 10-inch diameters and lower for the 14-inch diameter than
predicted by the Pigott equation. This could be due to a varying relative e for the elbows. The
smaller diameter elbow would have closer gore connections which would in effect raise c. As the
diameter increased the effect of the gore joints would be lessened. Also other effects such as
entrance conditions and flow separation may be more prominent at small diameters which are not
accounted for in the Pigott equation. (Idel'chick, 1966, pg. 211) also shows a strong size being
dominant in elbows of small diameters.
4.2 Orifice Inlet
The orifice inlets did not show a direct effect of duct diameter but show a definite effect
based on the orifice to duct diameter ratio. The data for the smaller ratios (.4 and .6) were similar
to ASHRAE published data. Loss coefficients from 571-RP tests were much higher for the .8 and
1.0 ratio than the ASHRAE data, however.
The Malco hole cutter was a very inaccurate device. The diameter was off by more than
y4-inch at the desired setting on the instrument. Trial and error methods were used to adjust the
machine to the desired level. The Malco hole cutter was difficult to use and several drill bits were
broken in the process of cutting the holes.
4.3 Rectangular Radius Elbows
Reinforcing the elbows tested had no affect on deflection or performance. Elbows in these
sizes or smaller do not need reinforcement, even at high pressures. Some measured loss coefficients
were much higher than published by ASHRAE for the r/W = 0.75 data.
4.4 Rectangular Mitered Elbows with Turning Vanes
ASHRAE did not publish data for the vane spacing and vane radius combinations tested
except for the double-thickness (vane Type 2) lV^-inch vane spacing, 2-inch vane radius elbows and
the double-thickness, SVWnch vane spacing, 2-inch vane radius. ASHRAE data for these elbows show
a range of values for the loss coefficient which are velocity dependent. The ASHRAE data for these
elbows show a range of values for the loss coefficient which are velocity dependant. The ASHRAE
data is from a paper by (Rozell, Transaction No. 2307). Rozell did test the other elbows but did not
reduce the data in the same manner. He seemed to use an insertion method which in effect includes
the friction loss of the elbow. Also most of his data is for 24 x 24 inch duct. Finally not all of
40

Rozell's data had a zero y-intercept Comparing the data ignoring these differences shows good
agreement for IVi-inch vane spacing, 2-inch vane radius elbows for both the single-thickness and
double-thickness vanes. The 571-RP data for the 3tt-inch vane spacing, 4.5-inch vane radius elbows
was higher than that measured by Rozell. Rozell does show however that the elbow loss increased
in a 48 x 12 inch elbow so the losses seem to be a function of aspect ratio which was not varied for
the 571-RP tests.
4.5 Diverging Fittines
The diverging tee, rectangular main to round tap and diverging tee, rectangular main to
rectangular tap with 45 entry fitting data was different than published by ASHRAE. To create new
loss coefficient tables as a function of area ratio and volume flow rate ratio, the average loss
coefficients were plotted as a function of the branch to common and main to common velocity ratios.
These curve through the values was used to generate new tables as functions of volume flow rate
ratios and area ratio. The velocity ratio curves are plotted in Figures B.1.71 through B.1.74. The loss
coefficients are listed in Tables B.2.27 through B.2.30. The shaded data in Tables B.2.27 and B.2.29
were extrapolated by curve fitting the velocity ratio VJVC vs Q,,., then converting the data to VJVC
toQ.
4.6 Round Tap with Cushion Head
Although there is no ASHRAE data, the Associated Air Balance Council (1965) publishes
turning loss data for diffusers connected to cushion hoods. The loss coefficients extracted from Chart
VIII of this reference show loss coefficients much lower than determined from the 571-RP data. A
14-inch neck from their chart has a loss coefficient of Q, = 0.72 while a 10-inch neck has a loss
coefficient of Q = 0.68. The corresponding coefficients from Table B.2.21 are 1.24 to 1.71 for the
10-inch tap and 1.95 to 2.48 for the 14-inch tap. These differences are probably due to several
factors including the construction of the fitting and the way in which the data is reduced.
The 571-RP data shows no significant benefit of a cushion head on a round tap. In fact, the
loss coefficient increased as the cushion hood was lengthened before decreasing back to about its
original value. If a diffuser was attached to the round tap however the longer cushion head may
serve to cause a more uniform flow, which although may not decrease the loss of the turn, could
decrease the loss of a diffuser associated with poor flow. This idea was not studied during this 571RP test.
4.7 Effect of Upstream and Downstream Diameters
Scope 2.2 and 2.3 of the 571-RP project were to measure the effects of varying the distance
between the fitting and upstream pressure taps and the distance between the fitting and the
downstream pressure taps.
Scope 2.2 varied only downstream pressure tap distances. The loss coefficients for the 10inch, 30 and 45 mitered elbows were determined by subtracting the friction loss when 10-, 15-, 20-,
and 25-diameter pressures tape locations were used. The friction loss for these tests were determined
separately for each of the 10-, 15-, 20-, and 25-diameter ducts. Using this method a clear trend of
higher loss coefficients was established with more duct diameters as the data in Table B.2.22 shows.
However when the data was reduced using the friction loss results based on 25 diameters, there was
41

not a clear pattern and the resulting loss coefficients were much closer as shown in Table B.2.26.
The scope 2.3 work shows similar results as the scope 2.2 work when friction loss is based on
25 diameters and the upstream diameters from the fitting to the pressure taps is one.

5. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS


Part of the full scope of the 571-RP project was to provide data to establish improved test
procedures for use by SPC 120P in preparing an ASHRAE standard for Laboratory Methods of
Determining Flow Resistance of Air Ducts and Fittings.'' Recommendations have been given to the
SPC 120P committee throughout the project These are summarized here. Recommendations for
additional testing are also given.
5.1 SPC 120P Recommendations
Flow Measurement
The dimensional requirements for orifice metering tubes and equations used to determine
volume rate of flow should be based on The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Fluid Meters
Their Theory and Applications. The flow rate equations should be written in terms of the flow
coefficient K. Equations should be available to calculate K for both flanged and D, D/2 taps (ASME,
1971).
Pitot traverse gave flow rates which differed by 29 percent from the orifice metering stations
at low velocities (440 fpm). The difference was only 0.6 percent at 3900 fpm and was within the
required 2 percent accuracy at 3000 fpm. Properly calibrated pitot tubes can be used to insure flow
rates with the required accuracy at low velocities and should be sufficiently accurate without
calibration when velocities exceed 3000 fpm.
Temperature Measurement
Flows upstream of a fan should not require a thermometer or temperature measurement.
Ambient temperature should be accurate enough. Flows downstream of a fan should require a
thermometer in flows downstream of each fan or downstream of fittings where flows of different
temperatures converge. Thermometers should be placed at least 10 diameters upstream of a pressure
measurement location of four diameters downstream of a pressure measurement location.
Pressure Tap Locations
Piezometer static pressure taps should be used to measure the average local static pressure
or pressure differentials. For duct friction loss, at least 25 diameters of length should be used
between the piezometer taps. For fittings, the pressure tap should be between one and two diameters
upstream of the fitting and at least ten diameters downstream of a fitting. Downstream diameters
should be kept to a minimum (maximum twelve diameters) when testing very low loss fittings to
reduce the error of subtracting friction loss to determine the fitting zero length dynamic loss.
42

Flow Rate
Although many types of fittings are not used in high velocity systems, the SPC 120P
committee recommends single flow fitting should be tested at velocities exceeding 1800 fpm or where
the measured pressure (or differential) exceed 0.30 in. wg. The 571-RP research shows these are
probably good minimum if they can be observed. However for many efficient fittings the pressure
differential will not exceed 0.30 in. wg except at very high (outside of the normal range of use)
velocities. Also, when divided flow fittings are tested, at low or high flow rate ratios, the branch of
main is often below both the velocity minimum and the pressure minimum. For these cases, multiple
runs of tests should be performed with a statistical error analysis to determine the range of error.
Branch fittings should be tested with eight velocity ratio settings and each setting should have eight
common section flow rates (64 total data points).
5.2 Recommendations for Additional Testing
Round Elbows and Offsets
Other sizes of elbows need to be tested to complete the range of needed data. Three inch
elbows are the smallest commonly used. At larger sizes, the loss coefficient does not change
dramatically (Jones 1958) (United McGill 1963). The following additional sizes are recommended
for testing:
Plate 1: 5-Gored Elbows

Recommended

r/D = 0.75 and 1.0


r/D = 1.5
r/D = 2.0

3", 18" and 24"


3"
None

Plate 2: Mitered Elbows

45 and 30

3", 18" and 24"


3"

Plate 3: Offsets
L/D = 3, L/D = 1
and L/D = Min

3"

The data in the ASHRAE Handbook should be replaced with data from Tables B.2.1, B.2.2
and B.2.3 to replace the variations in coefficients with size.
Orifice Inlets
The data fairly well characterized the inlet orifices of Plate 4 and no further tests are
recommended. The data are different from that published in the ASHRAE Handbook. ASHRAE
data should be replaced by information from Table B.2.4 referenced to the duct velocity to remain
consistent with other data.

43

Rectangular Elbows and Offsets


Data are inconsistent with that published by ASHRAE for Plate 5. Test on additional sizes
need to be performed to better characterize the fitting. Reinforcing does little to effect the pressure
loss and should be eliminated as a variable on future tests. Recommended test should include
variations of aspect ratio from .25 to 4. Additional sizes recommended are given below.

Diverging Flow Fittings


The branch to common area ratios for normal use were well covered for Plates 9 and 10.
However, only a straight-through to common area ratio of 1 was tested. The results show significant
differences from those published by ASHRAE so it is recommended that other straight-through to
common area ratios be studied. That is, branch fittings with area ratios AJ\ = .1 to .9 should be
studied.
Round Tap with Cushion Head
Cushion heads did not offer any additional advantage to decrease pressure loss. If this is
studied further, it should be on the affect on diffusers.

ORIFICE PLATES
Concentric-Segmental-Eccentric
Universal Orifice Plates

SIGNIFICANCE
The most common primary flow element is the
concentric orifice plate, often called the "sharpedged" orifice plate. Its main advantages are: low
cost, accuracy, ease of installation, variety of
construction material, and quick delivery. Much
test data has been compiled about orifice plates
and, with the necessary information, exacting
design can be made providing for excellent
metering accuracy.

Meriam has furnished many orifice plates for


nuclear and fossil fired power plants, chemical
plants, refineries, steel mills and to original
equipment manufacturers for incorporation in
their equipment and systems.
Meriam can also provide readout instruments and
accessories for complete flow metering installation.

CONSTRUCTION
Engineered for each application, Meriam orifice
plates are precision bored to exact dimensions
with a sharp upstream edge to assure accuracy.
Orifice information is stamped on the unique
handle. This handle is designed to facilitate
storage of the plate without damage to the orifice
bore.
Standard Meriam orifice plates are 304
Stainless Steel. Monel, brass, P.V.C.,316S.S.and
other materials are available.
Meriam orifice plate dimensions meet I.S.A.
specifications.
Meriam will provide blank orifice plates for your
own boring, too.
Whether you size the bore or you want us to,
consult Meriam for your next requirement.

DESIGN CRITERIA & TOLERANCES


Standards and specifications for orifice plates are
listed by the ISA, AGA and ASME. All of these do
not agree in all ways. Please specify which
specifications you require so we will provide your
orifice plates the way you want them.
EDGES:

Square and sharp, will not reflect a


beam of Jight when viewed without
magnification.
FINISH:
15-32 micro-inch roughness.
FLATNESS: Flatness within 0.010 inches, per
inch of dam height.
BORE:
Orifice bore tolerance in strict accordance with A.G.A. Gas Measurement Committee Report No. 3,
A.S.M.E. Fluid Meters Committee
Report, and with other societies'
recommendations.

H O O K GAGES W I T H .001" ACCURACY


FOR U L T R A PRECISE L A B O R A T O R Y A N D C O M M E R C I A L A P P L I C A T I O N S
Dwyer Hook Gages are noted for their
extreme readable accuracy in measuring
low pressures and vacuum. They are
particularly suited for high precision industrial test work and {OT use in scientific
laboratories. Fan manufacturers find
Dwyer Hook Gages indispensable in
checking instruments for measuring air
flow. Oil burner manufacturers can make

exact laboratory draft tests. They also


provide the standard against which
other instruments can be calibrated.
Simplified action is the secret of the
Dwyer Hook Gage. The only moving
parts are two stainless steel hooks controlled by standard depth micrometersPassing through the leakproof stuffing
box at the base, each hook shows a slight

"dimple" at the point of contact with


the fluid. After leveling the gage and
zero-setting the hooks, pressure is applied and the resulting vertical movement of the water is read directly from
the micrometers, the sum of the two
being The pressure. A skilled operator
can locate one hook relative to the other
within : .001" of pressure.

The sound pressure output given on the calibration chart supplied w i t h the 4 2 2 0 is
given for normal atmospheric pressure conditions (P 0 = 1 0 1 3 m b a r ) . For large changes
in ambient pressure (due to altitude changes, for example) a correction must be made.
The exact iormu)a for the SPL correction can be derived as:
ASPL = 2 0 l o g 1 0 ( )
o
where P a is the actual atmospheric pressure in mbar
and P 0 is the reference atmospheric pressure ( 1 0 1 3 mbar)
A barometer (part number UZ 0 0 0 3 ) graduated both in dB of correction and millibar, is
supplied w i t h the 4 2 2 0 for this purpose. The barometer range is from 7 9 0 to 1 0 4 0
mbar. See F i g . 2 . 1 .

Fig. 2.1.

Over this pressure range the accuracy of the barometer is better than 0,1 dB at an ambient temperature of 23C and better than 0,2 dB over the temperature range 1 0C to
5 0 C , for at least one year after calibration.
For variation of the ambient pressure above 2 0 0 0 m and up to 1 8 0 0 0 m i.e. d o w n to
8 0 mbar, the correction curve given in Fig.2.2 can be used.
