FloTec is a multiport self-averaging flow meter with a design based on the classical pitot tube concept. This pitot tube produces an averaged differential pressure proportional to the square of the flow rate.
The differential pressure output of the pitot tube is normally connected to a differential pressure measuring instrument in order to generate an electrical signal from the differential pressure. This electrical signal is proportional to the flow rate. A differential pressure measuring instrument or a differential pressure switch can be used to provide local indication of the flow rate or for switching tasks.
The pitot tube is suitable for the measurement of one-phase media which completely fill the cross-section of the pipe.
