Description
The differential pressure output of the pitot tube is normally connected to a differential pressure transmitter. This is done in order to generate an electrical signal from the differential pressure. This electrical signal is proportional to the flow rate. A differential pressure gauge or a differential pressure switch can be used to provide local indication of the flow rate or for switching tasks.
The flange will respect the nominal pressure rating of the pipeline. The pitot tube is suitable for the measurement of one-phase media which completely fill the cross-section of the pipe.
Main characteristics of the pitot tube:
- Low installation costs
- Long-term accuracy
- Minimal unrecovered pressure loss
- Available in fixed and extractable versions
- Completely from stainless steel AISI 316, other materials are available on request
