 INTRODUCTION

The industrial flowmeter market currently offers a large number of different types of instruments, the main ones of which can be classified as follows:

  • differential pressure (or orifice) flowmeters, rotameters ;

  • weirs and channels ;

  • turbine flowmeters, meters ;

  • electromagnetic flowmeters, ultrasonic flowmeters ;

  • oscillating flowmeters.

Each of these types of flowmeter has its own preferred field of application, depending on the fluid, measurement range and accuracy requirements.

Depressurized orifice flowmeters are widely used in industry, both for liquids and for gases and vapors, whether clean or slightly contaminated.
