Advantages of Venturi flowmeter

If it can be accurately manufactured in accordance with ASME standards, the measurement accuracy can also reach 0.5%. However, the accuracy of the domestic Venturi flowmeter is difficult to guarantee due to its manufacturing technical problems. For the working condition of ultra-supercritical power generation, the use of the equalizing ring at the throat is a very dangerous link under high temperature and high pressure. If the equalizing ring is not used, the standard will not be met. The measurement accuracy cannot be guaranteed. This is a contradiction in the manufacture of high-pressure classic Venturi flowmeters.

Disadvantages of Venturi flowmeter

The pipe is made of the same material as the inlet and outlet. Fluid scouring and abrasion of the throat are severe. Long-term measurement accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The length of the structure must be manufactured according to regulations. Otherwise, the required accuracy will not be achieved. Due to the strict structural regulations of the classic venturi, its flow measurement range is the largest and the minimum flow ratio is very small, generally between 3 and 5. This makes it difficult for Venturi flowmeters to meet flow measurements with large flow changes.
