of air, steam, and natural gas. However, there is no objection to using
it for other fluids.
It is said in [1]_ that for liquids this should not be used. The result
can be forced by setting `k` to a really high number like 1E20.

This formula was determined for the range of P2/P1 >= 0.75, and for fluids
of air, steam, and natural gas. However, there is no objection to using
it for other fluids.
This is an older formula used to calculate expansibility factors for
orifice plates.
In this standard, an expansibility factor formula transformation in terms
of the pressure after the orifice is presented as well. This is the more
standard formulation in terms of the upstream conditions. The other formula
is below for reference only:
.. math::
\epsilon_2 = \sqrt{1 + \frac{\Delta P}{P_2}} - (0.41 + 0.35\beta^4)
\frac{\Delta P}{\kappa P_2 \sqrt{1 + \frac{\Delta P}{P_2}}}
[2]_ recommends this formulation for wedge meters as well.

Notes

The following limits apply to the orifice plate standard [1]_:
The measured pressure difference for the orifice plate should be under
250 kPa.
There are roughness limits as well; the roughness should be under 6
micrometers, although there are many more conditions to that given in [1]_.
For orifice plates with D and D/2 or corner pressure taps:
* Orifice bore diameter muse be larger than 12.5 mm (0.5 inches)
* Pipe diameter between 50 mm and 1 m (2 to 40 inches)
* Beta between 0.1 and 0.75 inclusive
* Reynolds number larger than 5000 (for :math:`0.10 \le \beta \le 0.56`)
or for :math:`\beta \ge 0.56, Re_D \ge 16000\beta^2`
For orifice plates with flange pressure taps:
* Orifice bore diameter muse be larger than 12.5 mm (0.5 inches)
* Pipe diameter between 50 mm and 1 m (2 to 40 inches)
* Beta between 0.1 and 0.75 inclusive
* Reynolds number larger than 5000 and also larger than
:math:`170000\beta^2 D`.
This is also presented in Crane's TP410 (2009) publication, whereas the
1999 and 1982 editions showed only a graph for discharge coefficients.

supported by the Miller (1996) [1]_ correlation set. These correlations
cover a wide range of industrial applications and sizes. Most of them are
functions of `beta` ratio and Reynolds number. Unlike the ISO standards,
these correlations do not come with well defined ranges of validity, so
caution should be applied using there correlations.
The base equation is as follows, and each orifice type and range has
different values or correlations for :math:`C_{\infty}`, `b`, and `n`.

Parameters
----------
D : float
Upstream internal pipe diameter, [m]

mu : float
Viscosity of fluid at `P1`, [Pa*s]
m : float
Mass flow rate of fluid through the orifice, [kg/s]
subtype : str, optional

'conical orifice', or 'quarter circle orifice', [-]
taps : str, optional
The orientation of the taps; one of 'corner', 'flange',
'D and D/2', 'pipe', or 'vena contracta'; not all orifice subtypes
support the all tap types [-]
tap_position : str, optional
The rotation of the taps, used **only for the eccentric orifice case**
where the pressure profile is are not symmetric; '180 degree' for the
normal case where the taps are opposite the orifice bore, and
'90 degree' for the case where, normally for operational reasons, the
taps are near the bore [-]
Returns
-------
C : float
Coefficient of discharge of the orifice, [-]
Notes
-----
Many of the correlations transition at a pipe diameter of 100 mm to
different equations, which will lead to discontinuous behavior.
It should also be noted the author of these correlations developed a
commercial flow meter rating software package, at [2]_.
He passed away in 2014, but contributed massively to the field of flow
measurement.
The numerous equations for the different cases are as follows:
For all **regular (concentric) orifices**, the `b` equation is as follows
and n = 0.75:

on the geometry of the plate according to ISO 15377, first introduced in
1998 and also presented in the second 2007 edition. It also appears in BS
1042-1.2: 1989.
.. math::
C = 0.9355 - 1.6889\beta + 3.0428\beta^2 - 1.7989\beta^3
This type of plate is normally used to avoid obstructing entrained gas,
liquid, or sediment.
Parameters
----------
D : float
Upstream internal pipe diameter, [m]
Do : float
Diameter of orifice at flow conditions, [m]
Returns
-------
C : float
Coefficient of discharge of the eccentric orifice, [-]
Notes
-----
No correction for where the orifice bore is located is included.
The following limits apply to the orifice plate standard [1]_:
* Bore diameter above 50 mm.
* Pipe diameter between 10 cm and 1 m.
* Beta ratio between 0.46 and 0.84
* :math:`2\times 10^5 \beta^2 \le Re_D \le 10^6 \beta`
The uncertainty of this equation for `C` is said to be 1% if `beta` is
under 0.75, otherwise 2%.
The `orifice_expansibility` function should be used with this method as
well.
Additional specifications are:
* The thickness of the orifice should be between 0.005`D` and 0.02`D`.
* Corner tappings should be used, with hole diameter between 3 and 10 mm.
The angular orientation of the tappings matters because the flow meter
is not symmetrical. The angle should ideally be at the top or bottom of
the plate, opposite which side the bore is on - but this can cause
issues with deposition if the taps are on the bottom or gas bubbles if
the taps are on the taps. The taps are often placed 30 degrees away from
the ideal position to counteract this effect, with under an extra 2%
error.
Some comparisons with CFD results can be found in [2]_.

Returns
-------

Coefficient of discharge of the quarter circle orifice, [-]
Notes
-----
The discharge coefficient of this type of orifice plate remains
constant down to a lower than normal `Re`, as occurs in highly
viscous applications.
The following limits apply to the orifice plate standard [1]_:
* Bore diameter >= 1.5 cm
* Pipe diameter <= 50 cm
* Beta ratio between 0.245 and 0.6
* :math:`Re_d \le 10^5 \beta`
There is also a table in [1]_ which lists increased minimum
upstream pipe diameters for pipes of different roughnesses; the
higher the roughness, the larger the pipe diameter required,
and the table goes up to 20 cm for rusty cast iron.
Corner taps should be used up to pipe diameters of 40 mm;
for larger pipes, corner or flange taps can be used. No impact
on the flow coefficient is included in the correlation.
The recommended expansibility method for this type of orifice is
:obj:`orifice_expansibility`.

This formula was determined for the range of P2/P1 >= 0.75.
Mathematically the equation cannot be evaluated at `k` = 1, but if the
limit of the equation is taken the following equation is obtained and is
implemented:
.. math::

{P_{1}} \right)} + Do^{4} P_{1} P_{2}^{2} \log{\left(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}}
\right)}}{D^{4} P_{1}^{3} - D^{4} P_{1}^{2} P_{2} - Do^{4} P_{1}
P_{2}^{2} + Do^{4} P_{2}^{3}}}
Note also there is a small amount of floating-point error around the range
of `k` ~1+1e-5 to ~1-1e-5, starting with 1e-7 and increasing to the point
of giving values larger than 1 or zero in the `k` ~1+1e-12 to ~1-1e-12

Notes
-----
This standard applies for wedge meters in line sizes between 50 and 600 mm;
and height ratios between 0.2 and 0.6. The range of allowable Reynolds
numbers is large; between 1E4 and 9E6. The uncertainty of the flow
coefficient is approximately 4%. Usually a 10:1 span of flow can be
measured accurately. The discharge and entry length of the meters must be
at least half a pipe diameter. The wedge angle must be 90 degrees, plus or
minus two degrees.
The orientation of the wedge meter does not change the accuracy of this
model.
There should be a straight run of 10 pipe diameters before the wedge meter
inlet, and two of the same pipe diameters after it.

r'''Calculates either the mass flow rate, the upstream pressure, the second
pressure value, or the orifice diameter for a differential
pressure flow meter based on the geometry of the meter, measured pressures
of the meter, and the density, viscosity, and isentropic exponent of the
fluid. This solves an equation iteratively to obtain the correct flow rate.
Parameters
----------
D : float
Upstream internal pipe diameter, [m]
rho : float
Density of fluid at `P1`, [kg/m^3]
mu : float
Viscosity of fluid at `P1`, [Pa*s]
k : float, optional
Isentropic exponent of fluid; required unless `epsilon_specified` is
specified , [-]
D2 : float, optional
Diameter of orifice, or venturi meter orifice, or flow tube orifice,
or cone meter end diameter, or wedge meter fluid flow height, [m]
P1 : float, optional
Static pressure of fluid upstream of differential pressure meter at the
cross-section of the pressure tap, [Pa]
P2 : float, optional
Static pressure of fluid downstream of differential pressure meter or
at the prescribed location (varies by type of meter) [Pa]
m : float, optional
Mass flow rate of fluid through the flow meter, [kg/s]
meter_type : str
One of {'conical orifice', 'orifice', 'machined convergent venturi tube',
'ISO 5167 orifice', 'Miller quarter circle orifice', 'Hollingshead venturi sharp',
'segmental orifice', 'Miller conical orifice', 'Miller segmental orifice',
'quarter circle orifice', 'Hollingshead v cone', 'wedge meter', 'eccentric orifice',
'venuri nozzle', 'rough welded convergent venturi tube', 'ISA 1932 nozzle',
'ISO 15377 quarter-circle orifice', 'Hollingshead venturi smooth',
'Hollingshead orifice', 'cone meter', 'Hollingshead wedge', 'Miller orifice',
'long radius nozzle', 'ISO 15377 conical orifice', 'unspecified meter',
'as cast convergent venturi tube', 'Miller eccentric orifice',
'ISO 15377 eccentric orifice'}, [-]
taps : str, optional
The orientation of the taps; one of 'corner', 'flange', 'D', or 'D/2';
applies for orifice meters only, [-]
tap_position : str, optional
The rotation of the taps, used **only for the eccentric orifice case**
where the pressure profile is are not symmetric; '180 degree' for the
normal case where the taps are opposite the orifice bore, and
'90 degree' for the case where, normally for operational reasons, the
taps are near the bore [-]
C_specified : float, optional
If specified, the correlation for the meter type is not used - this
value is used for `C`
epsilon_specified : float, optional
If specified, the correlation for the fluid expansibility is not used -
this value is used for :math:`\epsilon`. Many publications recommend
this be set to 1 for incompressible fluids [-]
Returns
-------
ans : float
One of `m`, the mass flow rate of the fluid; `P1`, the pressure
upstream of the flow meter; `P2`, the second pressure
tap's value; and `D2`, the diameter of the measuring device; units
of respectively, kg/s, Pa, Pa, or m
Notes
-----
See the appropriate functions for the documentation for the formulas and
references used in each method.
The solvers make some assumptions about the range of values answers may be
in.
Note that the solver for the upstream pressure uses the provided values of
density, viscosity and isentropic exponent; whereas these values all
depend on pressure (albeit to a small extent). An outer loop should be
added with pressure-dependent values calculated in it for maximum accuracy.
It would be possible to solve for the upstream pipe diameter, but there is
no use for that functionality.
If a meter has already been calibrated to have a known `C`, this may be
provided and it will be used in place of calculating one.
