\B1.0 INTRODUCTION\b
B. K. Berge is a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the
shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to
resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by
contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help.
The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem
with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support
for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at
545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe
message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 72050,1433.
Users of 'ISO' must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
This program material is supplied as is. The author disclaims
all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without
limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of fitness
for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for incidental
or consequential damages in connection with or arising from the
furnishing, use, or performance of this program material.
\B1.1 General\b
'ISO' calculates gas and liquid orifice flow meters based
on International Standard ISO 5167-1:1991 (Ref. 1).
This is a 'shareware' program and NOT a 'freebie'. You are
expected to register if you continue using the program for
more than 30 days. However, the program does not have any
'nag-screens' to encourage you to register, and will function
with no limitations if you do not register. Upon registration
you will receive both the DOS and Windows versions of the
program supplied on two (2) floppy disks.
The program will size orifice plates for given design
conditions, find pressure drop for a given flow, or flow for
a given pressure drop. The standard (API-2530) is
originally designed for gas orifices. In this program it is
also used for liquid orifices.
\B1.2 Program Requirements and Overview\b
The minimum equipment configuration required by 'ISO':
a) DOS version:
1) An IBM PC, XT, AT or compatible computer
2) 256 K or more of RAM memory
3) DOS 2.0 or later operating system
b) Windows version:
1) A computer with 80386 processor or better (486, Pentium)
2) 4 MB of RAM memory
3) Windows 3.+
\B1.3 Program Information\b
The program is divided into 4 major sub-programs:
- normal gas orifices
- normal liquid orifices
- gas restriction orifices (critical flow orifices)
- liquid restriction orifices
'ISO' lets you choose between U.S. and SI units. The
gas routines (normal orifice and restriction orifice routines)
will perform orifice-calculations for:
- Natural gas
- Air
- Nitrogen
For natural gas the AGA-8 Equation of State (EOS) is used for
calculating physical properties. For air and nitrogen the
Redlich-Kwong EOS is used.
The liquid orifice routines include:
- Oil (gas-free)
- Water
- Methanol (MeOH)
- Monoethylene Glycol (MEG)
- Diethylene Glycol (DEG)
- Triethylene Glycol (TEG)
For MeOH, MEG, DEG, and TEG the amount of water in solution
(0-100 Weight %) can be given, and the program will
calculate the physical properties of the solution.
