Technical Specification: Standard Venturi Flowmeter Diameter Requirements

1. Principle of Venturi Flow Measurement The Venturi flowmeter operates on the Venturi effect, a fluid dynamics phenomenon described by the Bernoulli equation.When a fluid passes through the constricted throat section of a Venturi tube, its velocity increases while the static pressure decreases, maintaining energy conservation. 2. Structure of Venturi Flowmeters A standard Venturi tube

Installation Technical Specification for Variable Area Flowmeters (Rotameters)

1. Core Installation Principles 1.1 Flow Direction and Vertical Alignment The rotameter must be installed vertically, with fluid flowing from bottom to top through the tapered tube. The deviation from the vertical axis should be less than 2°. For special horizontally-installed models, ensure the measuring tube remains level, with full pipe conditions. Horizontal deviation should
