Test Cell Mass Fuel Flow Measurement Using Coriolis Flow Meters
AIR6202
<p>The scope of this information report applies to the steady state measurement of direct mass fuel flow in gas turbine engine test cells. A measurement accuracy, and hence uncertainty of between ±0.1 to ±0.2% of value is believed to be achievable for liquid flow applications with some meter models/installations.</p> <p>Whilst capable of general transient measurement in 50 to 100 Hz region, this type of fuel meter is not capable of rapid transient measurement (in 100 to 250 Hz region). It is also not currently considered suitable for "in flight" fuel flow measurement.</p>
Rationale: Several of the recommended best practices in this paper are not current state of the art and manufacturers recommendations regarding hoow coriolis meters should be installed have changed. This requires a revision to update the document.
