Abstract

An analysis has been made of a large number of calibration curves of Herschel-type Venturi tubes, in order to obtain average values of the coefficient of discharge, both in the range of constant coefficient and of coefficient varying with Reynolds number. The data furnished by American practice have been compared with foreign standards of flow measurement.
