Differential Pressure Flow Meters

Differential Pressure Flow Meters

Differential Pressure Flow Meters are a flow monitoring technology which consists of a flow body containing some type of throttle restriction with known characteristics, such as a venturi, orifice, cone, or segmented wedge. This restriction creates a differential pressure between a pressure tap (P1) upstream of the restriction and a pressure tap downstream of the restriction (P2) which is proportional to the square of the volumetric flow rate. For a more detailed discussion of the principle of operation, you may want to read our article about the differential pressure measuring principle.  SmartMeasurement offers the ACONE differential pressure flow element which provides the best accuracy and the lowest pressure drops of any other differential pressure (DP) flow technology on the market.
