What is the advantage of a venturi-nozzle compared to a venturi or a simple nozzle?

A venturi-nozzle has a rounded inlet like the nozzle, an outlet with a divergent like the venturi. Thus, it is really a mixture between the nozzle, which will generally be chosen to measure high flow rates at high speed and in particular steam flow rates and a venturi tube allowing a low permanent pressure drop and requiring lower straight lengths than the nozzle. Thus, it is suitable for measuring large flows and when the pressure of the fluid measured is low.
In any case, do not hesitate to ask us for a study to select the product that best suits your application.
