Averaging Pitot Tubes - K Factor Enhancement

利用CFD建模和流量试验台确认，在雷诺数显著变化的情况下，对McMenon均速皮托管使用的K系数计算进行改进和开发McMenon工程服务公司在西坎布里亚郡的沃金顿镇雇用了60多名员工。该公司专注于过程工业测量仪器的设计、制造和供应，并向全球出口产品。平均皮托管是该公司产品组合的重要组成部分，为这个后工业地区提供了急需的就业机会。这些装置为最终用户提供了许多优势，但还可以通过更好地了解其在更广泛应用中的性能来进一步改进。目前，均速皮托管的性能已通过有限的测试工作和校准得到验证。在某些应用中，可追溯的校准要么不可用，要么太多而无法完成，有一些错误的证据。在整个工作范围内提供更详细、可追溯和可靠的校准因子估计将为我们的客户提供更可靠的设备，并提高精度。McMenon工程服务将能够增加客户对所提供解决方案的信心，并增加业务;在坎布里亚郡的阿勒代尔区带来了宝贵的出口订单，并维持了一个高度积极性和高价值的劳动力。

Enhancement and Development of K Factor calculations used with McMenon Averaging Pitot Tubes using CFD modelling and flow rig confirmation on a wide range of fluids at significantly varying Reynolds numbersMcMenon Engineering Services employs over sixty people in the West Cumbrian town of Workington. The company is focused on the design, manufacture and supply of measuring instrumentation for the process industries and exports products worldwide.Averaging Pitot tubes are a significant part of the company's product portfolio providing much needed employment in this post-industrial region. The devices offer many advantages to end users, but they can be further improved upon by better understanding their performance in a wider range of applications.Currently, the performance of Averaging Pitot tubes has been verified through limited test work and calibrations. In some applications where traceable calibrations are either unavailable or too numerous to complete, there is some evidence of errors. Providing a more detailed, traceable and robust estimation of the calibration factor over the entire operating range will provide a much more reliable device with an improved accuracy for our customers.McMenon Engineering services will be able to increase the confidence of customers in the solution offered and generate increased business; bringing valuable export orders and sustaining a highly motivated and high value workforce in the Allerdale borough of Cumbria.
