prover, critical-flow

Device utilizing an orifice for testing meters at a pressure of 20 psig or more by passing gas or air through both the meter and orifice and finally discharging it at a lower pressure which maintains critical-flow (sonic velocity) through the orifice. The time for a given quantity of gas to pass through the meter compared to the orifice standard time corrected for test conditions provides a measure of meter accuracy.
