Fox Differential Pressure (ΔP) Venturi Flowmeters
Fox has been manufacturing differential pressure venturi flowmeters for industrial, oil & gas, aerospace and research applications since 1961 – learn more about our company history. Fox venturi meters are precision machined to meet customer requirements, with fast deliveries, superb quality, accurate flow calibrations, and with whatever quality documents are, or are not, necessary for your application. Customers can specify a required flow range, a maximum inlet-to-throat measured delta-P, or a specified throat diameter. End connections can be any thread, any flange, or any weld connection used by industry anywhere – inches or metric.
Fox venturi flow meters are often specified when overall pressure drop must be minimized. Unrecoverable pressure loss is typically about 10% of measured differential pressure, and since this inlet-to-throat DP at max flow can be specified to be as little as 25” WC (inches of water) or 50” WC or 2 psid – resulting pressure loss can be minimized to 2.5” WC or 5” WC or 0.2 psi.
