Orifice calculation for Flow Rate - Flange Taps - Gas

Customer: Ethane Compressor


Tag: FT-205

Flow Rate 35,470,190.00 Standard Cubic Feet/Day


Differential Pressure 100.00 Inches Water
Operating Temperature 163.00 Deg F
Operating Pressure 410.00 PSI (absolute)
Base Specific Gravity 0.48
Compressibility Factor:
Zf 0.67000

Pipe Diameter 7.981 Inches


Bore Diameter (approximate) 4.593 Inches
Beta (approximate) 0.57549

Note: Values for the beta ratio are approximate, typically within
2% - 5% for gases and steam
1% for liquids
The ASME MFC-3M 1989 equation is used in this program. However,
several equation factors are assumed and can directly affect the
calculation results
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 1.0
Discharge Coefficient: 0.6
Base Temperature: 60 Deg F (15.56 Deg C)
Base Pressure: 14.7 PSIA (101.3 kPa-A)
Pressure Tap Location: Flange Tap

Also, this program does not take into consideration two calculation
variables - the Reynolds Number correction and the expansion factor.

If it is necessary to have a closely specified beta ratio, differential


pressure, or flow rate, please consult your Daniel representative for
