What is Differential Pressure and Pressure Loss?
When a flow element is inserted in a closed passage of fluid in piping, a differential pressure is produced between the upstream and downstream.
Flow Measurement
Flow Measurement: Learn about Flow Sensors like Orifice, Venturi, Annubar, Pitot, Magnetic, Turbine, Ultrasonic, Coriolis flow meters, etc.
Square-Root in DCS or Flow Transmitter?
A square root Function is required for Orifice Flow Transmitter as relationship of flow versus pressure is not linear but has a square-root relationship.
What are the Orifice Plate Flow Requirements?
Orifice Plate Flow Requirements are to use straight run pipe length or a flow conditioner to reduce the straight run requirement.
What is Integral Flow Orifice Assembly?
Integral Flow Orifice Assembly is used when a Differential Pressure Transmitter has to be directly mounted on the orifice assembly.
Why Orifice Flow Meter Flange is Not Recommended 150# Rating?
The Restriction Orifice can have a 150# flange rating but the Orifice Flow Meter Flange is not recommended to have a 150# flange.
What is an Orifice Flange? – Purpose and Applications
An Orifice Flange is used in combination with orifice meters to measure flow rate of oil, gas and other liquids conveyed by the pipeline.
Magnetic Flow Meter Corrosion Effects
One important but small part of the Magnetic Flow Meter that gets affected by corrosion / Erosion rate is ” The Electrodes “.
Why is Orifice Beta in between 0.3 to 0.7?
Why we must keep the Orifice Beta ratio between 0.3 to 0.7 values during orifice calculation, orifice design, and selection?
What is an Averaging Pitot Tube? – Principle, Advantages
Averaging Pitot tube is a multiport flow meter based on the principle of measurement of differential pressure created when an obstruction is placed in flow.
Wedge Flow Meter Principle
The wedge Flow Meter measures the volumetric flow rate by calculating the differential pressure created across the wedge restriction in the pipeline.
