15、and gases.This Standard tries toclarify differences between the construction and operation of these devices and other head-classdevices,such as orifice meters,Venturi meters,and nozzles.Due to differences in the design of multiport averaging pitot primary elements,this Standardcannot address detaile
16、d performance characteristics in specific applications.It does cover issuesthat are common to such devices.Suggestions for improvements to this Standard are encouraged and should be sent to:Secretary,ASME MFC Committee,the American Society of Mechanical Engineers,Three Park Avenue,NewYork,NY 10016-5990.ASME MFC-12M2006 was approved by the American National Standard Institute onMarch 21,2006.ivCopyrighted material licensed to Stanford University by Thomson Scientific(),downloaded on Oct-05-2010 b
