Differential Pressure Flow Measurement in Hydroelectric Power Applications
Ensure accuracy and reliability for flow measurement in high viscosity fluid applications
Advanced measurement solutions for high viscosity turbine oil flow
Turbine oil in hydroelectric plants plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth operation and longevity of these power generating marvels. It is crucial in a power plant to measure the high viscosity turbine oil without creating a significant pressure drop. The Rosemount 9195 Wedge Flow Meter, equipped with NPT connection fittings, features a drop-in wedge pipe spool for simple installation, requiring only two flanged connections and comes with integral impulse tubing. The wedge shaped design helps to handle higher viscosities compared to traditional flow meters.

Product Solutions
The Rosemount 9195 Wedge Flow Meter offers a fully assembled design for accurate measurement of fluids that wear or plug other meter designs. The wedge shaped element provides abrasion resistance due to the lack of a critically sharp edge. Highly viscous fluids can also be measured accurately due to the linear response of the meter even at low Reynold’s Number. Designed as a complete flow meter, the optional Application Packages simplify ordering to ensure the correct remote seal system is specified based on application needs. Available with three transmitter connection styles, the 9195 can help provide a solution in difficult applications.
- The wedge primary element is built to measure difficult applications, including dirty, highly viscous, or abrasive fluids that can clog or erode other primaries
- Triangle shaped design is strong and resistant to wear, lacking critical sharp edges that would wear over time
- Fully integrated and optimized design allows for simpler installation and compatibility with the process
