Abstract In order to analyze the influence of the hole chamfer on the metering performances of a Multi-hole Orifice Flowmeter and optimize the related orifice structure, a multi-hole orifice flowmeter with DN80 and throttle ratio of 0.45 was considered in the present study. The flow field characteristics were determined in the framework of a CFD technique. The results show that the multi-hole orifice flowmeter with filleting transition around the throttle orifice has higher accuracy in a wide range of the space of parameters, and is more suitable for accurate measurement of fluid in process control.
