CPA - Flow Nozzles

The pressure measurements are taken from taps located on the meter run piping, a specific distance from the nozzle. CPA provides guidelines on where to install the meter run pipe taps and what size they must be. However, the meter run piping and the taps themselves are not included with the CPA Flow Nozzle, and must be supplied separately.

All CPA Flow Nozzles are custom designed to your specific conditions, whether liquid, gas, or steam. The beta ratio can by specified directly, or CPA can calculate a beta ratio for you using an approved standard such as ISO 5167, ASME 3M, and ASME PTC-6.

For a customized beta ratio calculation, CPA requires detailed process information including fluid density, flow rate, and desired differential pressure.

Like all CPA products, the CPA Flow Nozzle is available in a wide range of materials and can be customized to suit your specific needs. The CPA Flow Nozzle is designed to be installed between two raised face, full face, or RTJ flanges. It can also be welded between two pipe spools. A portion of the nozzle will extend into the section of pipe located immediately downstream of the flange or weld point.

The CPA Flow Nozzle is intended for subsonic flows only and should not be used in critical choked flow conditions. For flow measurement in sonic conditions, CPA recommends use of a sonic nozzle.
