Primary flow elements

Primary flow elements for special requirements

Orifice plates, meter runs, flow and Venturi nozzles, Venturi tubes, pitot tubes and restriction orifices are part of our portfolio of primary flow elements. All our primary flow elements are designed in accordance with the principles and requirements of international standards (ISO 5167/ISO TR 15377, ASME MFC, ASME PTC6, BS 1042, DIN 19206, UNI 10023). We offer calibration certificates in accordance with the ASME PTC6, ISPESL and IBR standards. With our extensive product range we are in a position to cover almost all industrial applications. Customised solutions can be developed to meet your specific needs.

FAQ
FAQ

How can the differential pressure be measured with a primary flow element?

In order to measure the differential pressure, a combination of primary flow element and differential pressure transmitter is needed.

What is cavitation?

Cavitation is the generation of vapour bubbles. Vapour bubbles implode after a short time and can generate high pressures with this.

What is the sonic condition?

The sonic condition is when a gas flows through an orifice and its pressure drops, a critical pressure value exists for which flow rate reaches the speed of sound in that gas. This happens when Pout/ Pin ratio is approx. 0.5. At sonic condition, flow ... More ...
