 Flow Measurement

FLOW NOZZLE
The Flow Nozzle has its characteristic in
between the Orifice Plate and Venturi Tube.
The Flow Nozzle format allows its application
in services that the fluid is abrasive and
corrosive.

Its main use is for steam flow in critical

conditions of operation (high speed,
temperature and pressure).

There are two types of standard Flow Nozzles, type "ASME" and type "ISA".
The main difference between them is the inlet radius profile and the pressure taps
types, where "ASME" uses the Radius Taps (1D-1 / 2D) standard on the tube, and
"ISA" uses the Corner Taps in piezometric rings welded together to the nozzle.
