Q

A primary element used with flow measurement devices highly suitable for liquids containing solids in suspension, is a __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Flow measurement primary elements such as orifices, nozzles, and venturi tubes • How suspended solids affect erosion, plugging, and accuracy in flow devices • Differences between head loss and resistance to flow among these devices

💭 Think About

• Which device has the smoothest internal shape and least chance of trapping or collecting solids? • Which option is most commonly recommended in industry when measuring slurry or dirty liquids with particles? • Think about which devices have sharp edges or narrow throats that could wear quickly or clog when solids are present.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which devices use a sharp-edged restriction versus a smooth, gradual constriction • Consider which option is known for low pressure drop and good performance with dirty or particle-laden fluids • Eliminate any device that is easily plugged or eroded by solids in suspension
