Re: Bleed Flow Rates
By Jim Heyworth

In the 96.01.20 Digest, Robbie Rhodes asked:

>Subject: Bleed flow rates

>Has anyone performed this type of experiment? Anyone have some
>similar data for comparison?

I refer you to the Journal of Mechanical Music, Spring, 1994 edition, page 28. Phil Dayson wrote an article on this subject and has continued to do a lot of work in this area. Just this weekend at the MBSI Northwest Chapter's meeting he showed us a _very_much_updated_ direct-reading version of the orifice flowmeter described in the article. The range of measurement for the meter is 3 to 30,000 cubic inches per minute which should cover everything from the leakage of an individual small pouch to the consumption of a sizable piano or organ. The best part of all is that it is fairly cheap to make.

I am sure that if you wished to contact him he would be more than happy to give you more information. Since I have not cleared this comment with him, I suggest that those interested contact me and I can pass the messages to him.
