Research abstract
PRIMARY FLOWMETER CALIBRATION IS A PROBLEM FACED BY A WIDE RANGE OF INDUSTRIES, AS WELL AS NASA, A LITTLE-KNOWN FLOW MEASUREMENT METHOD--THE GIBSON OR PRESSURE-TIME--WILL BE APPLIED TO FLOWMETER CALIBRATION. THE MAJOR ADVANTAGE OF THE METHOD IS THAT IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL MEANS OF MEASURING MASS FLOW THAT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED IN A CLOSED-LOOP CALIBRATION FACILITY.
