6 Pressure loss
Pressure loss in a flow sensor is stated as max. pressure loss at q
p
. According to EN 1434, max. pressure loss must
not exceed 0.25 bar, unless the energy meter includes a flow controller or functions as pressure reducing
equipment.
The pressure loss in a sensor increases with the square of the flow and is usually stated as a direct proportionality
between the flow and the square root of the pressure loss:
