Compaflow
Compaflow is an orifice-based flow meter with a
difference - its advanced design greatly simplifies
installation and commissioning.
Compaflow is a stand-alone, orifice-based flow meter
that incorporates all the following features:
 A wafer-bodied orifice carrier assembly with integral
square-edged, concentric plate and corner tapping
points
 Optional Integral 3-valve manifold
 DP transmitter, factory-mounted onto the sensor /
manifold and pre-configured for the application
 Fully leak-tested and configured
Benefits
Compaflow avoids many of the difficulties involved in
the sizing, selection, procurement, installation and
commissioning of conventional orifice plate installations.
 With all the major components in one assembly,
Compaflow eliminates the problems of sourcing
multiple components. Large savings in cost and time
due to the simplicity of design and installation.
 Integral transmitter and manifold with compact
tapping connections eliminates the need to run and
connect impulse piping and offers:
- guaranteed accuracy of positioning and
installation of the tapping points
- reduced possibility of impulse line blockage
 The assembly is pressure tested in the factory, giving
the user confidence that the connections between the
tapping points and the transmitter are completely free
of leaks
 Factory configuration of the meter saves the user
time during commissioning and ensures that the
flowmeter output span truly matches that of the
application flowrate
 Choice of two discrete Beta ratio values, together
with the free sizing, selection and coding software,
simplifies the sizing and selection process
 Element centralizing system ensures every meter is
concentric with its pipe, thus avoiding significant
additional metering errors

Basic Principle of Operation
DP devices work on a principle based upon the Law of
Conservation of Energy, where a restriction in the fluid
path causes an acceleration in the fluid velocity with a
corresponding increase in kinetic energy. The gain in
kinetic energy is at the expense of pressure energy,
resulting in a drop in fluid pressure across the narrowest
part of the restriction. The drop in pressure and the flow
rate are linked by the following (albeit simplified)
relationship:
Q=k√ DP
where Q = fluid flow rate
k=aconstantforthatDPdevice
DP = the pressure difference across the restriction
The DP generated for a given class of device depends on
the bore of the restriction. Many calculation standards
exist but in all cases the differential pressure produced
by the restriction is larger than would normally be
expected. This effect occurs because a stream is unable
to follow the contours of a restriction perfectly, resulting
in a flow stream whose narrowest diameter (known as
the Vena Contracta) is less than the diameter of the
restriction.
Figure 2
The Vena Contracta increases the velocity (and
therefore the kinetic energy) and this produces a larger
drop in pressure than would normally be expected.
Some of the differential pressure generated is
recovered downstream of the unit but all DP devices
incur some loss, known as the 'irrecoverable pressure
loss', and this is usually expressed as a percentage of
the differential pressure. To correct for the Vena
Contracta effect, each device has a Discharge
Coefficient; a multiplying factor of less than 1 that is
part of the calculation. Typically, the smaller the Vena
Contracta compared with the bore of the device, the
larger the deviation from expectations and hence the
smaller the coefficient.

Versions
Compaflow is available in three versions:
Compaflow V684 -acompactflowmeterforgeneral
purpose measurement in volumetric units (actual
volume). It uses the loop powered converter V684 and
provides a flow rate and total display on a single line
LCD. There is no output 4 to 20 mA.
Figure 3
Compaflow M128 - a compact mass-flow meter,
giving measurement directly in mass units. It uses
the Mass converter M126 to measure DP,
temperature and pressure. It provides a flowrate
display and transmits 4 to 20 mA proportional to the
mass or corrected volume flowrate.
