Select an appropriate fitting regarding to the flow
velocity and the flow rate of the fluid in the piping, see
the following charts:
These charts make it possible to determine the DN pipe
and the appropriate fitting to use, according to fluid velocity
and flow rate.
Example :
- Specification: if the nominal flow is 10m
sioning of the optimal flow rate must be contained in 2 to
3m/s
-Answer: on the chart, the intersection of flow rate and flow
velocity gives the appropriate diameter, DN40 or DN50 for
fittings with *.
* For fittings :
- with external thread connections according to SMS 1145
- with weld end connections according to SMS 3008,
BS 4825 / ASME BPE or DIN 11850 Series 2
- with Clamp according to SMS 3017 / ISO 2852 or
BS 4825 / ASME BPE or DIN 32676

To measure the flow rate, use a flow conditioner, if
necessary, to obtain the best accuracy.
→
Respect the following additional installation conditions
to ensure that the measuring device operates correctly
(Fig. 4 and Fig. 5):
-
prevent the formation of air bubbles in the pipe
-
ensure the pipe is always filled with liquid.
