FLOW RATE TEST
The ATEQ D6 series can do direct or indirect measurements. In both cases, the flow meter
can also work in depressurization (option).
Measurement principle
When the fluid (gas) enters the device1, it moves through a calibrated flow tube2 which
causes a drop in pressure. The pressure drop is measured by a differential pressure sensor3.
The pressure of the part under test 5 is measured by the sensor4.

2 Calibrated flow tube
3 Differential pressure sensor
4 Pressure sensor
5 Part under test
Direct measurement
Once the part is filled, the device measures the flow rate through the part.
The test pressure is applied to the device1 and then to the input of the part under test2.
