3.3 MEASURED VARIABLES<br />

3.3.1 Pressure Measurement<br />

(a) Pressure Tappings<br />

Figure 3.8: The Mini Rig<br />

Pressure tappings located in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> horiz<strong>on</strong>tal test secti<strong>on</strong> in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> pipe wall are used for<br />

differential pressure measurements. Figure 3.8 shows a typical pressure tapping<br />

arrangement that was used.<br />

The tapping hole diameter is 3mm and as reported by Hanks (1981) <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> length to<br />

diameter (lJD) ratio (ie. length <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> tapping hole to tapping diameter), which is<br />

c<strong>on</strong>sidered critical, was designed according to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> ratio<br />

L = 4 (3.1)<br />

D '<br />

to ensure accurate readings. All burrs <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> inside edge <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> tappings were<br />

removed.
