CALCULATED VALUES
General Notes:
(a) Values expressed in units equivilent to those used for input.
(b) The straight lengths given in this table shall apply between the orifice plate and the beginning of the fitting upstream or downstream accordingly.
(c) Most of the bends on which the lengths in this table are based had a radius curvature equal to 1.5D
(d) Straight lengths can be reduced to "B" columns but 0.5% must be added to coefficient uncertainty.

Notes:
1 S is the separation between the two bands measured from the downstream end of the curved portion of the upstream bend to the upstream end of the curved portion of the downstream bend.
2 This is not a good upstream installation; a flow conditioner should be used where possible.
3 The Installation of thermometer pockets or wells will not alter the required minimum upstream straight lengths for the other fittings
4 A thermometer pocket or well of diameter between 0.03D and 0.130 may be installed provided that the values in each Column A and B are increased to 20 and 10 respectively. Such an installation is not, however, recommended
5 The straight length In each Column A gives zero additional uncertainty; data are not available for shorter straight lengths which could be used to give the required straight lengths for each Column B.
6 95D Is required for ReD x 10^6 if S < 2D.
