| Abstract | At the request of Standard Aero Ltd. (46 PF010, LO 6328), a method was devised for calibrating the airflow through the inlet casing of an aircraft gas turbine engine. A rig with a venturi air meter was assembled to mate to the client-supplied inlet casing. Tests were conducted to correlate the flow measured by the venturi (traceable accuracy) to readings from pressure taps installed on casing. Two configurations (with and without inlet screen) were tested. This report provides the documentation for the rig, systems and results, including an uncertainty analysis. |
