Dear Control Community,
I am looking at Dwyer Series OP Orifice Plate Flow meter.
There it mentions that the Head Loss is: 1 - (Beta ratio)^2 e.g if Beta = 0.7, Head Loss = 1 - 0.49 = 0.51, which corresponds to 51% dp
What I understand is having this orifice plate, will cause a pressure loss of 51%.
Isn't 51% Pressure Loss a lot for an Orifice Plate? especially since the OP depends on differential pressure to measure the flow, or did I misunderstood what Head Loss means?
Kindly help me on this matter.
Regards,
Forat
