Flowmeter Impact from Changing Pressure

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the impact of increased pressure on a flowmeter calibrated for 25 psi when the system pressure is set to 50 psi. It highlights that the new reading at 50 psi will depend on the type of flowmeter used, as some may remain accurate while others will not. Since the flowmeter in question is only calibrated for 25 psi, any deviation from this pressure will require a correction factor to obtain accurate readings. The manual does not provide a calibration procedure for the higher pressure. Accurate flow measurements at the new pressure will necessitate adjustments based on the specific characteristics of the flowmeter.

I have an argon piping system. The pressure is set at 50 psi. Assume no pressure drop. I have a flowmeter that is calibrated to run at 25 psi. Basically, I want to know what the "new" scale will be on the flowmeter as a result of the increased pressure (from 25 to 50 psi).

In other words, if the meter reads 100 SCFH @ 25psi, what would/should it read at 50 psi?

Depends entirely on the type of meter, some will remain correct..
The manual should have the calibration procedure?
 
No, this one unfortunately is calibrated only for 25psi. Any deviation will result in needing a correction factor.

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
