Jacketed Venturi & Venturi Nozzle
Jacketed Venturi
Venturi Nozzle
The Venturi Nozzle is an attractive solution for measurements
with high accuracy and low residual pressure loss
requirements.
This Nozzle has the same features as the ISA 1932 Nozzle
except the residual pressure loss is lower.
The profile of the Venturi Nozzle is axisymmetric. It consists of
a convergent section, with a rounded profile, a cylindrical
throat and a divergent section.
A venturi nozzle can be achieved as truncated alternative.
The divergent portion may be truncated up to 35% of Fabricated Venturi Nozzle
its length.
At large sizes there is the possibility to go for a sheet metal
downstream cone.
The upstream tap location shall be corner taps and the throat
pressure taps shall comprise at least four single pressure
leading into a annular chamber.
Depending on customer requirements, the typical 1/2” or
3/4 “ tappings have a but or socket weld, screw thread or
flange connection. Tappings maybe equiped with condensate
chambers and shut-off valves. Machined Venturi Nozzle
Available in wide variety of materials (SA105, SS316, F12,

The flow calculation is performed according to the ISO 5167-

Eccentric & Rectangular Venturi
Eccentric Venturi
Eccentric venturi is one of the types of venturi used
for the mixed phase (Gaseous & Liquid) of the fluid

the standard L.K. Spink. Eccentric venturi is also
consists of four parts i.e. Inlet cylinder,
convergent, Throat & Divergent as like classical HP LP
venturi tubes. But the basic difference in the
design of both is that either bottom or top side of Eccentric Venturi
the venturi is in the same plane.
Rectangular Venturi
Rectangular venturi tubes are used in rectangular
air ducts or furnaces as primary elements in flow
measurement of gas according to the differential
pressure principle. The rectangular venturi tube
has single or double plane contraction with again
same sections as Inlet Duct, Convergent cone,
Throat & Divergent cone.
