Linear Orifice Flow Meter Calculation of Total Riser Pipe Height

Intro

The program currently does not currently include the height of the riser pipe taht is inserted into the fitting. This total height of pipe including the portion inserted into the pipe fitting is necessary for budgeting and purchasing. The equation should include this amount as well as an added height above the last row of holes to account for surges and sloshing. The length of pipe inserted into the pipe fitting changes with diameter of pipe and thus the calculation of total riser pipe height should be a function of the pipe diameter.

Data

The following graphical representation shows the correlation between pipe diameter and pipe length used in the pipe fitting.
