    Flow Nozzles: Salient Features & Benefits

    General flow nozzles are used to measure the flow rates of high temperature and pressure fluids. There are three main types - ISA 1932 nozzles with corner taps, and two types of ASME long radius nozzles with either throat taps or radius taps. ASME long radius nozzles with throat taps are commonly used for steam turbine performance testing. Flow nozzles have a smooth elliptical inlet and throat section that causes a pressure drop related to flow rate via Bernoulli's equation. They are durable, erosion-resistant, and manufactured to standards like ASME MFC-3M.

    drop, which relates to the flow rate by applying Bernoulli’s equation.
    The smooth inlet of the flow nozzle results in a higher coefficient of
    discharge than most other differential meters. This higher efficiency
    means greater flow capacity when compared to most other
    differential meters of the same size.

    D D/2

    Holding Ring Type Flow Nozzle


    These types of nozzles are designed for installation in a pipe without flanges. The flow nozzle
    is installed with the help of holding ring and locating pins which are made of same material as
    that of pipe thereby eliminating welding of dissimilar materials and also eliminating more
    welding joints in a shorter pipe lengths because of high pressure areas

    Long Radius High Beta Ratio


    Holding Ring Type Nozzle

    Flanged Type Flow Nozzle


    These types of nozzles are used for insertion between pipe flanges, where frequent
    maintenance is required in the line. These types of nozzle are very rarely used

    Flanged Type Flow Nozzle

    P D D/2
    Weld-in Type Flow Nozzle
    This type of nozzle has a machined tongue around its
    greatest diameter designed to fit between beveled ends of
    both inlet and outlet pipe section. The pipe sections, with
    the nozzle in place are firmly clamped and welded. The
    weld-in flow nozzle is used where flanges are not
    applicable such as high temperature and pressure
    applications in power plant installations, feed water, etc. ISA1932 Weld-In Type Nozzle Long Radius High Beta Ratio

    (Radius Tappings)

    Flanged Type Throat-tap Flow Nozzle


    Flange type throat-tap flow nozzle is used when extreme accuracy and repeatability required. In most cases this type of nozzle is purchased with a
    complete flow section and laboratory flow calibrated. This type of nozzles are manufactured in strict accordance with ASME performance test
    code PTC-6.
