Current orifice meter technology is known to generate a large permanent loss of pressure. The pressure potential is consumed by the eddy turbulence. Accuracy lost is due to linearity and repeatability issues that are a direct result of the random and chaotic eddy turbulence formations.

Standard Orifice Generates Random Eddy Turbulence |
Balance flowmeter minimizes eddy's and provides higher accuracy over current orifice plate technology. With features worthy of a NASA patent, the A+ FlowTek’s Balanced Flow Meter has a 34% accuracy improvement and minimizes energy (pressure) loss by 50%. Accurate measurements are critical to improve plant operational efficiency. The difference between an accurate and an inaccurate flow reading can mean a significant cost savings. Additionally, lower pressure loss conserves energy and saves money.
