Venturi tube
Engineered primary element for DP flow measurement of liquids, gases and steam with the lowest residual pressure loss
- Machined or welded design (internally machined) according to EN ISO 5167, ASME MFC3
- Lowest residual pressure loss of all DP elements
- Only short inlet/outlet runs required
- From basic to special wet gas applications and high pressure conditions
Overview
A Venturi tube is an engineered primary flow element for the most efficient and accurate differential pressure (DP) flow measurement. The typical Venturi shape with limited cone angles enable a pressure recovery of up to 95% of the generated DP. Together with optional annular chambers to balance deviation in the flow profile. With low maintenance requirements and a long life the Venturi tube offers a low total cost of ownership. A special Venturi tube that enables online measurement of additional process parameters such as steam wetness can also be provided.
