Pitot Tubes
General Description
The measuring principle of a Pitot Tube is based on the theory of differential pressure.
A simple, though effective measurement method, combining low installation and operation costs with great reliability, for Gas, Liquid and Steam Flow monitoring.
The process connection can be threaded or flanged.
Intra Automation offers the choice of different sensors, depending on line size and flow.
The WinFlow calculation software is applied in the determination of the sensor size.
Features
- Suitable for measuring the flow of liquid and gaseous media
