Flow Measurement with the valve in the
Wide Open position

Where approximate indication of flow is
acceptable the Flo-Trex valve can be used.

Step 1.

Measure and record the differential

pressure across the valve.

Step 2.

With valve in fully open position,

locate  the  pressure  differential  on  left  hand
side of the Flo-Trex Performance Curve with
Valve in Full Open Position chart and extend
line  horizontally  across  to  valve  size  being
used. Drop line vertically down and read flow
rate from bottom of chart.

Safety glasses should be worn.
Probes should not be left inserted into
fittings for long periods of time as
leakage may result.

CAUTION
