Abstract
A Cox fuel flow measuring system. Model 8550, S/N 83-067, together with a Cox flowmeter, Model ANC-8-4, S/N 42666, made by Cox Instruments Product Line, AMETEK Inc., Schutte & Koerting Division, were assessed by comparison with an FTI flowmeter, Model FT-4-8A3-LB, S/N 840 3549. Both flowmeters were mounted, in series, in NRC’s Omnitrak flowmeter calibrator and were tested over a flow range from 100 to 1000 1 PPH. Test results showed that the system gave flow indications 0.4% low over the upper 60% of the range, dropping off to 1.1% low at the bottom end. By adjusting the Digital Panel Meter (DPM) slope, the accuracy could be greatly improved.
