The Concept of Differential Pressure Flow Measurement

Rivers flow from places of


higher potential to a place of
lower potential.

No differential pressure NO
FLOW

Volumetric Flowrate and Bernolis Principle


The volumetric flow rate of the fluid can be determined by measuring the differential
pressure across a flow element.

The differential pressure can be caused by a restriction in the flow path

Bernoulli’s Principle
Bernoulli’s principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a
decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid’s potential energy.

Explanation:
If the fluid is flowing through a horizontal pipe of
varying cross-sectional area, for example, the
fluid speeds up in constricted areas so that the
pressure the fluid exerts is least where the cross
section is smallest

The Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting


The Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting is a dual-chamber
device that reigns as the most widely used means of
measurement for natural gas. ... The Senior Orifice
Fitting saves users time and money by providing a fast,
safe and simple method of changing orifice plates under
pressure without flow interruption.

The Senior Daniel Orifice Fitting


The operator has always faced the challenge of removing
the orifice plate from the process for inspection,
changing the size during operation. This has always lead
to the shut down of the process.

The Senior Daniel orifice fitting has solved this long


time challenge. The senior Daniel orifice plate does not
require shutting down the process.
Just follow the Procedure as spelt out in this training
