Description

Overview of Differential Pressure Flowmeter

The Differential Pressure Flowmeter (Orifice Throttling Device) is a highly reliable flow measurement instrument that operates on the principle of differential pressure, one of the most recognized methods worldwide. With a simple yet robust structure, it provides stable, accurate flow measurement without requiring actual flow calibration. It is widely used in petroleum, chemical, natural gas, metallurgy, power, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, textiles, beverages, environmental protection, and municipal utility applications.


Features of Differential Pressure Flowmeter

  • High Accuracy & Versatility: Reliable measurement with easy installation and low cost for various media.

  • Standard Nozzle Flowmeter: Excellent resistance to high temperature, high pressure, and impact; long service life; suitable for steam, liquid ammonia, and large flow conditions.

  • Venturi Flowmeter: Low pressure loss, high accuracy, short meter run, and long service life for efficient industrial operation.

  • Balanced Orifice Flowmeter: High accuracy, low pressure loss, large turndown ratio, excellent repeatability, and stable long-term performance.

  • Special Orifice Designs: Conical entrance, 1/4 circle, and double orifice plates suitable for low Reynolds number fluids, viscous liquids, and low flow rate gases.

  • Segmental & Eccentric Orifice Plates: Clogging-resistant, suitable for dusty or impure media such as coal gas, with minimal straight-run requirements.


Applications of Differential Pressure Flowmeter

  • Petroleum & Natural Gas: Accurate measurement of crude oil, natural gas, and refined products.

  • Chemical & Petrochemical: Monitoring of aggressive chemicals, steam, and process gases.

  • Power & Energy: Steam measurement in power plants and high-pressure systems.

  • Metallurgy & Steel: Flow measurement under extreme pressure and temperature conditions.

  • Pharmaceuticals & Food: Clean media monitoring with precise control.

  • Municipal & Environmental: Water supply, sewage treatment, and city gas flow measurement.

  • General Industrial Use: Applicable for liquids, gases, and steam, with or without impurities, across a wide range of flow rates and working conditions.
