What type is better for large-diameter steam and water-gas flow meters? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using orifice plates?
The bore is too large, causing the orifice plate to deform easily, especially when measuring steam.
Orifice plates result in high pressure loss, low accuracy, and require significant maintenance efforts over time. It is recommended to consider a conical flow meter.
Orifice plates result in high pressure drop, low accuracy, and require extensive instrument maintenance. It is recommended to consider a tapered flow meter
For large-diameter steam, orifice plates, nozzles, Pitot flow meters are recommended; for water gas, V-cones or online detachable Pitot tubes are suitable
