Venturi-Type Flow Meters are utilized within the municipal water industry to measure flows both within the water treatment plant, as well as within distribution. The Venturi flow measurement is based upon measuring the pressure drop between two sections of the tube with differing diameters. Often times, Venturi meters are outfitted with only a 4-20 milliamp … Read More →
