Sizing table
(DN 2 to DN 2000)
The table shows the relationship between flow velocity v, flow quantity Q and sensor dimension DN.
Guidelines for selection of sensor
Min. measuring range: 0 ... 0.25 m/s
Max. measuring range: 0 ... 10 m/s
Normally the sensor size is selected so that the nominal flow velocity v lies within the measuring
range 1 ... 3 m/s.
Flow velocity calculation formula:
