STUDY OF PARAMETERS WHICH AFFECT PELLET FLOW TYPE ACCELEROMETERS

Abstract

Research is continuing on pellet-flow accelerometers. An experiment to determine the efflux rate of glass beads through an annular orifice is considered. It provides for conducting 104 efflux tests to correlate all dominant efflux parameters. If interactions different from those determined for conical orifices exist, then statistical correlation may not be achieved. All efflux meter parts needed for efflux testing with annular orifices were fabricated and gaged. A few trial efflux tests were performed, but the preliminary data obtained are inconclusive. (Auth )
