Comprehensive Summary of Differential Pressure Flow Meters

1. Basic Principle Differential pressure (DP) flow meters operate based on the throttling principle derived from Bernoulli’s equation. As fluid flows through a restriction (e.g., orifice plate, nozzle, or Venturi tube), its velocity increases and static pressure decreases, creating a pressure differential (ΔP) that correlates to flow rate. Working Formula: Where: Q = volumetric flow
