Abstract
The need for accurate calibrations of rocket engine propellant flowmeters to determine the effects of the working fluids upon the meter accuracy has prompted construction of several large calibration stands In the United States. This Is a report on the design, activation, and application of such a calibration stand. The stand can handle large missile flow rates and Is adaptable to many incompressible fluids.
