Orifice Plate: A restriction in the pipe line caused by an orifice plate creates a pressure difference between the upstream

and downstream flow. Pitot Tube: The pressure difference between the upstream and downstream flow is picked up as a dynamic pressure by the pitot tube. In both cases the differential pressure is proportional to the square of the volumetric and mass flow.

Advantages

Time proven robust technique. Wide range of line sizes. Easy installation. No process interruption for exchange of dP transmitter. Broad choice of materials. Wide turndown. Ceramic self checking sensor. Wide temperature and pressure range. Very high repeatability.

Differential pressure measurement for flow

Reliable measurement concept for determining volumes or mass flow for all types of gases, liquids or vapours.
