Dwyer PE and TE Series was designed for use wherever there is an application for a conventional flow orifice plate. It can also be used in place of other primary differential producers for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The Series PE is available in line sizes from 1/2″ to 24″ and used for air and most gases. It meets or exceeds ASME, AGA & ISO standards.
The Series PE Orifice Plate Flow Meter offers one-piece PVC construction incorporating a unique holder or carrier ring containing metering taps and integral gaskets. Unlike a standard orifice plate, the Series PE is a true primary element including the various components for differential pressure measurement.
The Series TE Orifice Plate Flow Meter offers one-piece PTFE construction similar to the OP and PE Series orifice plates, which incorporate a unique holder or carrier ring containing metering taps and integral gaskets. Available for line sizes from 1/2″ to 24″, the Series TE orifice plate can be used with gases, liquids, corrosive, and high-temperature fluids.
The Series TE can be easily installed by slipping the unit between standard flanges (orifice flanges are not required). The Series TE was designed for use anywhere there is an application for a conventional flow orifice plate. It can also be used in place of other primary differential producers for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
