The Comprehensive Flowmeters Resource

Differential Pressure Flowmeter

A differential pressure flowmeter (DP flowmeter) is a widely used device for measuring the flow rate of fluids in various industrial applications. It operates on the principle of differential pressure measurement, utilizing the relationship between flow velocity and pressure drop across a flow restriction to calculate the flow rate.

How Differential Pressure Flowmeters Work

The core concept of a differential pressure flowmeter is based on Bernoulli’s principle, which states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure. In a typical DP flowmeter setup, the device includes a primary element (such as an orifice plate, venturi tube, or flow nozzle) that introduces a restriction in the flow path.
