DP Flow is the most frequently applied measurement technology. Uncover the value of re-engineering DP Flow measurement points to enable better measurement. Learn how best practices and innovative designs deliver improved accuracy, reduced maintenance, reduced installed costs, lowered permanent pressure loss, increased reliability, and increased turn down to improve your flow measurement.
Choosing a flowmeter technology for an application goes beyond reference accuracy and purchase price. Many factors need to be considered in the selection process. How to balance and prioritize the selection criteria across multiple DP Flow metering technologies can be challenging.
This presentation will explore flowmeter selection factors and how to balance these criteria to choose the best technology for every flow application. Utilizing best practices will optimize your DP Flow measurement points. Benefits will be achieved in the areas of installed cost, total system performance and/or installed performance, piping requirements, permanent pressure loss and/or energy costs.
