Venturi Nozzles

Venturi Nozzles

Flow Measurement Excellence

Venturi Nozzles combine the best features of a Venturi Tube and a Flow Nozzle into one single unit. These accurate devices are ideal for measuring the flow of high velocity, non-viscous fluids (e.g. Steam and other high velocity gases). Venturi Nozzles are particularly suitable for erosive fluids where the sharp edge of an Orifice Plate could quickly deteriorate, with an outlet cone to improve pressure recovery.

Solartron ISA offer a wide range of Venturi Nozzle designs with a solid nozzle and either solid or fabricated outlet cone including flanged or butt-weld connections. All Venturi Nozzle types are designed in accordance with ISO 5167-3. Lines sizes are offered within a range of 50mm up to 1000mm. Venturi Nozzle designs can provide substantial cost savings as the profile is virtually immune to any wear or erosion. These devices are often regarded as “fit and forget”, where very little maintenance and inspection is required.

Solartron ISA offer Venturi Nozzle designs to suit the needs of any pipe-work configuration for various lengths, orientations and end connections. We provide complete Engineering support from initial design and sizing concepts to manufactured final products.
