Operation and Performance

Fluid Types

Saturated and superheated steam

Pipe Sizes

2 in to 48 in NB (50 mm to 1200 mm DN)

Pipe Materials

All metals. Consult GE for other materials.

Flow Accuracy (Velocity)

±1% to 2% of reading typical

Accuracy depends on pipe size and whether measurement 
is one-path or two-path. Accuracy to ±0.5% of reading 
may be achievable with process calibration.
