Results of the pressure drop measurements are graphically shown as psi drop versus flow rate in gpm. A series of tests was also made with the rotor held stationary. These results indicate the power loss to be expected for this meter if the rotor accidentally jammed. Pressure drop for a stationary rotor was found to be approximately six times the normal drop at the same rate of flow. Flow rates as measured with the Potter meter and the loop Foster flow tube agreed within plus or minus 2% over the recommended ramge of flows for the meters. (A.C.)Read More
