Kamstrup MULTICAL 21 - Pressure Loss

MULTICAL® 21 & flowIQ® 2101 /..02 /..03 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Kamstrup A/S •Technical Description • 5512-897_J1_GB • 06.2016 31
8 Pressure loss
According to OIML R49 maximum pressure loss must not exceed 0.63 bar (0.063 MPa)
in the range Q
1
- Q
3
or Qmin - Qn.
The pressure loss in a meter increases with the square of the flow and can be stated as:
pkvQ 
Where:
Q = volume flow rate [m
3
/h]
kv = volume flow rate at 1 bar (0.1 MPa) pressure loss
Δp = pressure loss [bar]
