Product: Flow Pressure Meters
Sub Product: Venturi Tube
DESCRIPTION
Venturi tube is a device made up of an entrance cylinder connected to conical convergent cone, a cylindrical throat & a divergent section. The internal surface of the device is cylindrical & concentric with the pipe centerline.
Eureka's VEN series is suitable for measuring liquid, gases as well as steam flow. Since there is no sharp edge or protrusions in the flow section, the venturi offers a very low pressure loss & high measurement accuracy.
The typical geometry of venturi offers a good repeatability & pressure recovery. Thus it reduces operating costs & also reduces straight length requirement.
Typically the convergent angle is fixed to 21deg. Divergent angle can be varied between 70- 150 without any effect on the pressure loss & discharge coefficient.
Applications
- Steel Plant
- Gas Processing & Transmission
- Sugar Industry

Machined Type Venturi
Machined venturi is manufactured by machining the inner profile from a solid forged bar. This is a single piece construction.
The end connection can be either BWE or Flanged, as per requirement.
Size limits 50mm to 250mm.
Uncertainty in discharge coefficient ± 1%
ReD 2 x 105 to 1 x 106
β 0.4 to 0.75
Pressure tapping can be either through adaptor OR through piezometric ring. Piezometric ring uses the principle of averaging the readings.
The ring is manufactured from forging.
Fabricated Type Venturi
This type of venturi is fabricated from the sheets. Venturi is fabricated in different parts namely Inlet cylinder, convergent cone, throat & divergent cone. Then all these separately fabricated parts are welded together to form the complete assembly.
The end connection can be either BWE or Flanged, as per requirement.
Size limits : 250mm to 1200mm.
Uncertainty in discharge coefficient : ± 1.5%
ReD : 2 x 105 to 2 x 106
β : 0.4 to 0.7
Pressure tapping can be either through direct tapping OR through piezometric ring. Piezometric ring uses the principle of averaging the readings.
The ring is fabricated from channel or pipe.
