This Stand
39、ard was prepared byMFC Subcommittee 2 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Standards Committee onMeasurement of Fluid Flow in Closed Conduits.As of the publication of this Standard, differential producers are the single most-used methodof full-pipe flow measurement in the United States an
40、d worldwide. By utilizing simple physicallaws, differential-producing flow meters are capable of providing reliable flow measurementwithin established uncertainty bands.The first edition of this Standard was approved by the ASME MFC Standards Committee in1985. The MFC Standards Committee approved th
41、e second edition of this Standard in 1989, andreaffirmed it in 1995. This revision, approved by the MFC Standards Committee in 2004, includesextensive changes to content and format from the MFC-3M1989 (R1995) edition.Given the global nature of the flow measurement market, this Standard is as consist
42、ent andtechnically equivalent with ISO 5167 as practical. There are, however, technical and editorial dif-ferences made in consideration of recent technical insights and operational practices common inthe United States.This Standard provides information in both SI (metric) units and U.S. Customary u
43、nits. Forreference, U.S. Customary units are shown in parentheses.Suggestions for improvement to this Standard are welcome. They should be sent to Secretary,ASME MFC Standards Committee, Three Park Avenue, New York, NY, 10016-5990.This edition of the Standard was approved by the American National St
44、andards Institute onApril 30, 2004.vASME MFC COMMITTEEMeasurement of Fluid Flow in Closed Conduits(The following is the roster of the Committee at the time of approval of this Standard.)OFFICERSZ.
