What are the differences in application scenarios between integrated balance orifice plates and separate balance orifice plates? Which one is more widely used these days?
In an integrated design, there is no need to install separate pressure guiding pipes; the differential pressure transmitter and the pressure tapping tubes are connected directly through a three-valve assembly. In the case of steam-based media, the condenser can also be integrated as part of this design； In split-type installations, pressure lead pipes need to be installed to bring the differential pressure transmitter to a location where it is easy to observe and maintain. For new projects, split-type designs are more commonly used, with specialized installation companies responsible for installing and laying the pressure transfer pipes. For flow meters that need to be added on a regular basis during production, integrated designs are preferred to simplify installation.
