Orifice Flow Measurement

 Zoom

Primary differential pressure devices, like SITRANS F O orifice, are standardized mechanical flow sensor according DIN EN ISO 5167 which are used for volume and mass flow measurement. The SITRANS F O orifice are suitable for non-corrosive and corrosive gases, vapors and liquids; permissible operating temperature -60 to +570 °C. The created differential pressue will be converted with the help of a differential pressure transmitter SITRANS P delta P into a proportional flow signal. For calculation of the SITRANS F O orifice to DIN EN ISO 5167 is an completed filled out questionnaire necessary.


Orifice flowmeter features

  • Orifice flowmeters are very robust and can be used in a wide range of nominal diameters
  • Suitable for wide ranges of temperature and pressure
  • No calibration required as the process is standardized
  • The electronics required in addition can be used over a long distance from the measuring location
  • The differential pressure method is well known and has a large installed base
