The discharge coefficients of critical sonic nozzles were obtained in a high pressure gas flow standard system, which was a gravitational weighing system. The discharge coefficients of critical sonic nozzle farbricated according to ISO specifications are in good agreement with ISO correlation. The discharge coefficients for small inlet radius decrease significantly as the inlet length become short due3 to separation at the sharp-edged inlet. For nozzles having long inlet radius, the effects of inlet length on the discharge coefficients were relatively small, but the effects become significant at the short inlet length. The effect of separation at the sharp-edged inlet is stronger than that of the boundary layer growth. The experimental results support that the shape of critical sonic nozzles suggested by ISO specifications is excellent.
