20、gases.

21、nown as a secondary element, mustbe used with a multiport averaging Pitot primary ele-ment to produce a flow rate measurement.Although multiport averaging Pitot primary elementsare sometimes used in noncircular conduits, such appli-cations are beyond the scope of this Standard.2 TERMS AND DEFINITION

43、ion. It is typically designed as a strut, or cylin-der (the cross section of the cylinder is not necessarilycircular), that is inserted across the circular pipe or con-duit on a diameter. Some APT designs have more thanone strut to achieve a more representative sample of thefluid velocity in the pip

44、e or conduit (see NonmandatoryAppendix A). The strut has ports that sense the totalvelocity head (total pressure), and a reference, or lowpressure. In some APT designs the reference pressureis measured at the pipe wall. Figures 1 and 2 show twocommonly used methods for sensing the total pressureand

45、reference pressure. The sensed pressure(s) are con-veyed through isolated passages, or chambers in thecylinder to the exterior of the assembly, where there areconnections to the secondary device. By combining theindividually sensed pressures from its sensing ports, theAPT produces a differential pre

46、ssure that can be relatedto the average fluid velocity in the pipe or conduit.4.2 Bernoullis EquationAs with other differential pressure-based flow pri-mary elements, the underlying principle for the APTsensor is the application of the momentum equationfrom basic fluid theory. Using the assumptions

47、forsteady state, inviscid, and incompressible flow along astreamline, the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equa-tion (see Nonmandatory Appendix B)3Ps+H9267 U22+ H9267gz p Pt(3)whereg p local acceleration of gravityPsp fluid static pressurePtp fluid total pressureU p fluid velocityz p vertical dista
