Averaging pitot tube flowmeter
DP flowmeter for applications with liquids, gases and steam to high-temperature applications with dust-laden gases
- Fast and easy installation without additional engineering, impulse lines and supports; the best retrofit capability
- -200…+1150°C / -328…2102°F; max. 320 bar / 4641.2 psi (line pressure)
- For line sizes DN50…2000 / 2…80" (larger on request)
- 2-wire 4…20 mA/HART®, FF, Profibus-PA
Overview
The averaging pitot tube flowmeter requires the least installation effort of all DP flowmeters. It is cost-effective and suitable for a variety of applications. Its low remaining pressure loss and bi-directional flow capabilities make it the preferred instrument for water, sea water, condensate, cooling water, crude oil, saturated and superheated steam, nitrogen, combustion gases, ventilation air and many other liquids and gases. It can also be used for dust-laden gases at high-temperatures. The KROHNE averaging pitot tube flowmeter covers big diameters, round and rectangular pipes and ducts. It requires only short straight inlet/outlet pipe sections (7D/3D). Due to the low flow profile constriction it generates only a minimal residual pressure loss.
