TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION flowIQ® 3100
16 Kamstrup A/S • Technical Description • 5512-1242_B1_GB • 05.2015
6 Pressure loss
According to OIML R49 maximum pressure loss must not exceed 0.63 bar (0.063 MPa) in range Q1 to Q3.
The pressure loss in a meter increases with the square of the flow and can be stated as:
where:
Q = volume flow rate [m
3
/h]
kv = volume flow rate at 1 bar (0.1 MPa) pressure loss
Δp = pressure loss [bar]
