SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the Korifice value in Cranes Technical Paper 410M, specifically in problem 7-12. Users report discrepancies in their calculations, with one participant obtaining a Korifice value of 28.0 instead of the expected 4.34. The formula used, derived from the 1986 edition of the paper, is confirmed as $$K_{orifice} \cong \frac{1-\beta^2} {C^2 \beta^4}$$. Additionally, the ISO 5167-2:2003 standard provides the same equation, indicating consistency across sources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics principles, particularly orifice flow.
  • Familiarity with the Cranes Technical Paper 410M.
  • Proficiency in using Excel for calculations.
  • Knowledge of the ISO 5167-2:2003 standard for flow measurement.
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the Cranes Technical Paper 410M for detailed explanations of orifice calculations.
  • Study the ISO 5167-2:2003 standard for flow measurement techniques.
  • Practice calculating Korifice values using different beta and C values in Excel.
  • Explore fluid dynamics textbooks for deeper insights into orifice flow equations.
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, fluid dynamics specialists, and students studying hydraulic systems will benefit from this discussion, particularly those focused on orifice flow calculations and standards compliance.

Homework Statement
Calculate Korifice by substituting Cd and beta values

This is taken from Cranes Technical paper 410M problem 7-12. I cant seem to get the Korifice value by substituing the Cd and beta value. For example for beta = 0.7 & C = 0.7, I'm calculating Cd = 0.61 and Korifice = 28.0 (not 4.34 as shown) using excel. Is this an error?

So am I . There must be something wrong in the ##K## expression: the numerators are ##\approx 0.93## denominators ##\approx 0.12##

My old copy (1986, imperial units) shows
$$K_{orifice} \cong \frac{1-\beta^2} {C^2 \beta^4}$$

EDIT: and this is Example 4-12 in the old book, not 7-12 (possible typo in OP?)

ISO 5167-2:2003, (pdf version pops up first link in google)
pg. 14.. same eq. as in Crane for Korifice...

I got the same result as you in Excel (most current version). I also plugged the equation into WolframAlpha and got the same result (both results for Korifice).
