Abstract
Liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen and other liquefied gases are sold widely. At the time of the present experiment there were no satisfactory meters available for measuring the flow of such fluids. Also there was no national reference standard available by which the meters that were used could be evaluated. The United States National Bureau of Standards had designed and built a cryogenic flow test facility but its stability and accuracy were not known. An experiment was designed to test the accuracy of the meters and the flow velocity. Thus an important difference of this experiment from many is that it was necessary to not only evaluate the object being measured but also the measuring device. The new facility was a complex apparatus with a variety of components each of which might be subject to some error. It was necessary to evaluate accuracy as well as precision.
