PTC-6 ASME
Flow Nozzle
Precision Flow Measurement for
Steam Turbine Acceptance Tests

rimary Flow Signal, Inc. is a leader in

the design and manufacture of Venturi

differential flow meters. Field-proven in
hundreds of thousands of installations worldwide,
differential metering ensures the most accurate
and reliable metering available anywhere. Through
innovation, coupled with peerless engineering and
technical expertise, PFS delivers customers versatile,
ultra-long lasting liquid and gas metering solutions
for a variety of applications and industries.

The PFS PTC-6 ASME flow nozzle provides the high

precision needed for the testing of steam turbines
under ASME PTC-6 2004 Performance Test Code.
The PTC-6 ASME integrates flow conditioners for added
accuracy, and diffuser cones to reduce downstream
pressure loss, and also provides flanged-end PTC6PTFFR and weld-in PTC6-PTWWR style nozzles.
