Orifice Flow vs Hydrostatic Pressure Calc

Measurement of fluid flow in pipes and conduits using orifice plates are very common in industrial applications. This app quickly computes the flow rates for liquid and gases based on standard parameters as per the model shown. Users can pick any fluid from a list of fifteen most common fluids used in industrial applications. Therefore, this app can be a very helpful tool for practicing engineers and designers in design and analysis of flows in different applications. A case study on CO2 flow rate is shown in the screen shot. The result is consistent with other methods used by the industry in computation and difference is less than 0.1%. Fluids that are not in the list, users can create a custom fluid with property data and compute the flow rate using the model provided in this app. Custom fluid data can be saved and reloaded every time when custom fluid is selected. Fluids: Air, Steam, Water, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Helium, CO2, Methane, Ethane, Chlorine, Ammonia, Argon, Hydraulic oil, HFC(R410A), Custom (user's choice). Orifice Type: App gives four different standard orifice design with recommended discharge coefficients as shown in the following screen shot. It also provides the details of the model used in the computation of flow rates for liquid and gases. This model is valid even for nozzles, venturi-flow meters for which the discharge coefficient (Cd) is unity. Measuring Parameters: Fluid inlet temperature and pressure, orifice geometry, pressure differential using standard pressure taps (ISO 5167), are the standard parameters required in the computation. Based on the orifice geometry, recommended discharge coefficient Cd is used. However, users can edit this using manufacturer’s data for more accurate results. App notes provides brief description of different orifice parameters for quick reference. Unit of Measurement: Users can choose different unit of measurement for both flow as well as pressure drop under given unit standard (SI or USCS). This can be conveniently selected while choosing the fluid from the picker list. App notes provides additional guideline with a link for complete documentation on implementation and validation of math-models used with industry examples.

Hydrostatic Pressure Calculator is a physics/math calculator used to find hydrostatic pressure at a certain depth quickly and easily. Features: - Instant calculation - Results are copyable to other apps - Formulas are included as references - Supports up to 16 decimal places - Supports various units for each input - Lightweight app with a small size, optimized for everyday use Hydrostatic Pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity. Hydrostatic pressure increases in proportion to depth measured from the surface because of the increasing weight of fluid exerting downward force from above. Each particle of a liquid is subjected to a gravitational force directed towards the Earth. The deeper it is located, the more particles are above it, resulting in higher fluid pressure. The value of hydrostatic pressure does not depend on the size and shape of the tank, but only on the depth. Therefore, the same hydrostatic pressure will be present in a huge swimming pool and a thin pipe, provided they have the same height. Hydrostatic pressure formula: p = ρ * g * h where: p - hydrostatic pressure ρ - density of fluid g - gravitational acceleration (the average value for Earth is g = 9.80655 m/s²) h - depth Thank you for your support, and feel free to visit nitrio.com for more apps for your iOS devices.
