Orifice Flow Meters

Integral Orifice (One-Piece DP Flow Meter) Integral Orifice

MODEL : DHIO-FM / DHIO-BN / DHIO-BY
A one-piece differential-pressure flow meter combining an orifice primary element, a 3-valve manifold and a DP transmitter in a single assembly. With no impulse piping required, installation and commissioning are simple, and it is suitable for measuring low flows in small-bore (15A ~ 200A) piping.

Product Overview

Integral Orifice (One-Piece DP Flow Meter)

Integral Orifice DHIO (block type, with integral transmitter)
DHIO-FMDHIO-BNDHIO-BY

The integral orifice is a one-piece (One-Piece) differential-pressure flow meter. Although it is an orifice-based flow meter, its different design greatly simplifies installation and commissioning.

The integral orifice is a self-contained orifice flow meter with all of the following: an integral 3-valve manifold · integral connection between the carrier taps and the manifold · a DP transmitter factory-mounted on the manifold and pre-configured for the application · fully leak-tested and configured.

Features: combines the primary element and DP transmitter into a single flow meter assembly. As a one-piece flow meter pressure-tested as an assembly, there are no leak points to trace or repair, improving reliability. With an integral multivariable transmitter and RTD, mass flow (liquids, steam) and corrected volumetric flow (gases) are measured integrally in a single unit. The integral impulse connection eliminates impulse piping and provides a repeatable DP connection regardless of installation position. Installation cost is reduced because there is only one component to install and no separate manifold to supply and connect. The entire flow meter is specified with a single ordering code, and with only two orifice ratios (Ratio), specification is simple.

DHIO-FM: the integral orifice is a flow element that can be close-coupled (Close-coupled) with a DP transmitter to form a complete flow meter, allowing easy installation and low-cost measurement of the low flows frequently encountered in plant metering and research work. It can be ordered with internal NPT threads or with flanged piping (meter run) welded upstream and downstream of the flow restriction, and the orifice assembly can be mounted directly on the transmitter or remotely with the optional adapter kit (155S711).

DHIO-BN / DHIO-BY: the integral orifice block type is a compact flow meter providing integral measurement of liquids and steam in mass units, and gas flow in corrected volumetric units.

English description

Integral Orifice the One-Piece DP Flow Meter. Integral Orifice is an orifice-based flow meter with a difference - Its advanced design greatly simplifies installation and commissioning. Integral Orifice is a stand-alone, orifice-based flow meter that incorporates all the following features: Integral 3-valve manifold; Integral connections between the carrier tappings and manifold; DP transmitter, factory-mounted onto the manifold and pre-configured for the application; Fully leak-tested and configured. Model DHIO-FM: The integral orifice is a flow element capable of being close coupled with differential pressure transmitters to make a complete flow meter. It provides easy-to-install, low-cost measurement of the small flows found frequently in plant metering operations and research projects. It can be ordered with internal NPT threads or flanged pipe runs, welded both upstream and downstream of the flow restriction. The orifice assembly may be directly mounted to the transmitter or remote using optional adapter kit 155S711. Model DHIO-BN / DHIO-BY: Integral Orifice Block Type - a compact flow meter, providing measurement Integrally in mass units for liquids and steam. Gas flow is measured Integrally in reduced volume units.
