Critical / Sonic nozzles

Flow measurement elements with highest accuracy

EP Ehrler Prüftechnik manufactures sonic nozzles in the flow range from 0.005 up to 2000 m³/h. In addition to the standard range, EP Ehrler Prüftechnik offers customerspecific nozzles which are perfectly designed for your application in accordance to DIN EN ISO 9300*. Nozzle holders including sensor connections are available for all nozzle sizes for installation in customer applications

Several nozzles can be combined to set several volume flows, allowing a high number of different flow rates to be generated rapidly. It is possible to generate e.g. 28 = 256 different flow rates using 8 critical nozzles. Binary staggering of the nozzles ensures a uniform coverage of the volume flow range.

*) For flow rates less than 0.1 m³/h only based on DIN EN ISO 9300.
