Wide-range measurement built around your process

Balanced flow meters use a project-specific multi-hole primary element to generate differential pressure while redistributing the velocity profile. Routine supply covers DN50–DN600; low-pressure large-diameter service is available from DN650 to DN2000, with Series A or B selected to match the pipe outside diameter. Every supplied meter requires individual flow calibration.
