Abstract
The work presented here is intended to indicate the optimum insertion depth of temperature probes used in natural gas pipe flows. Other infl uences as material layers in the protective pipe, working pressures an d pipe wall temperatures are studied as well and recommendations for t he optimum insertion depth are derived. Computational Fluid Dynamics ( CFD) on a 3D model using FLUENT 4.32 predicts the temperature with ver y little deviation from measurements. CFD proves to be a very powerful instrument for a quantitative analysis of flow meter instrumentation. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
