Abstract
The present work investigates the usefulness of the perforated copper plate as multi-orifice plate for mass flow metering. Discharge coefficients have been measured, for Reynolds number 1 to 2000, using both liquid nitrogen and air. The consistencies of the results with theoretical models as well as classical orifice data encourage flow metering over a broad range of Reynolds numbers.
