Technical Data

  • Accuracy : +/- 0,5 % for β < 0,6 and equal to β for β values above 0,6
  • Pressure loss : Depending on β, for β equal to 0,6 : ca. 60 % of the differential pressure measured
  • Limits for Reynolds No : Re(D) > 5000 for 0,1< β < 0,56 and Re(D) > 16000 x β 2 for β > 0,56 according to ISO 5167-2 2003 2000 < Re < 108 according to ASME MFC-3M
