What is a Primary Flow Element?
In differential pressure (DP) flow measurement, the primary element is what generates the differential pressure in the fluid. Primary elements are crucial to obtaining accurate, stable flow measurements.

Accelabar
The Accelabar’s flow nozzle is specifically designed to accelerate, condition, and linearize the velocity profile for Verabar averaging pitot to measure the differential pressure accurately.
