Impact of Orifice-to-Pipe Diameter Ratio on Leakage Flow: An Experimental Study

The traditional orifice discharge formula used to estimate the flow rate through a leak opening at a pipe wall often produces inaccurate results. This paper reports an original experimental study in which the influence of orifice-to-pipe diameter ratio on leakage flow rate was investigated for sever...
