FAQ

What are the advantages of the FlowPak and ProPak systems over other primary flow elements?

The advantages of the FlowPak and ProPak systems are that no upstream or downstream pipes are required, whatever the flow profile. Fitting is flexible and suitable for applications with limited mounting space. The pressure loss is reduced to a mini ...

What are the advantages of pitot tubes?

Pitot tubes are simple to use and install. They operate trouble-free with a constant performance and have practically no pressure drop. With pitot tubes, a cost effective measurement and energy saving is possible. They can be used either as a perma ...

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, fl ...
