The critical orifice gas velocity or flow rate (at which the regime transition from period-1 to period-2 bubbling and from period-2 to chaotic bubbling takes place) decreased with increase in the diameter of the orifice.
Experimental investigations of regimes of bubble formation on submerged orifices under constant flow condition
Some of the more challenging projects we have supplied include natural gas systems for uninterrupted high accuracy orifice gas metering with dual runs and back-up flow computers; control of unusually high flow rates and pressures; and precise gas metering accuracy under extreme conditions.
