eTube™
Flow Meter

The eTube is an innovative and robust differential pressure-type flow meter used for the measurement of fluids by way of
an elliptical-shaped flow restriction, which works in conjunction with Zedi’s field equipment to deliver flow information
to Zedi Access. With its smooth shaped throat, the eTube is designed to produce stable differential pressure across a
wide range of flows, while its innovative design allows particulates like sand and other solids to easily pass through the
restriction without excessive wear and damage.

Key Benefits
• Maintain accuracy in the harshest • Accomodate tight installations with
environments. low flow conditioning requirements.
• Fewer replacements with an ability • Eliminate measurement errors caused
to handle a wide range of flow rates. by build-up, freezing, or liquid pooling.

Features
Robust Design
• Unlike the orifice meter, which can become damaged or worn at the plate
edges, the eTube maintains accuracy in the most critical conditions.
Minimum Maintenance
• The eTube is a self-cleaning device with no stagnant areas and with large
pressure taps that reduce the chances of clogging.
Low Pressure Loss
• Compared to the orifice plate, eTube has nearly half the permanent pressure
loss.
