Calibrated orifice plate for DN50…600 pipes, a primary element for differential pressure flow measurement, up to PN420 and +500 °C in various materials.
Disc with a calibrated bore to be fitted between two flanges: the restriction creates a differential pressure proportional to the square of the flow rate, which is picked up by a differential pressure transmitter. It is a simple and robust primary element suited to very high pressures and temperatures.
As the medium passes through the bore it accelerates and loses pressure; the difference between upstream and downstream pressure is related to the flow rate and is converted into a signal by a differential pressure instrument.
