Flow Measurement

Measuring the flow of liquids is a critical need in many industrial plants. In some operations, the ability to conduct accurate flow measurements is so important that it can make the difference between making a profit or taking a loss. In other cases, inaccurate flow measurements or failure to take measurements can cause serious (or even disastrous) results.

PITCO has a long tradition in the design and manufacture of Differential Pressure Flow Measurement products, designed and calculated according to American, European and International Standards.
Primary differential pressure producing devices are the most common types of flow meters used in the oil, gas and petrolchemical industries.
