Description

The ASME PTC-6 Throat Tap Flow Nozzle provides the highest possible dP device accuracy and precision which is needed for the testing of steam turbine efficiency as prescribed in the ASME PTC-6 2004 Performance Test Code. The PTC-6 Flow Nozzle is supplied complete with integrated up/down pipe spools, a flow conditioner and with an optional nozzle outlet diffuser cone for considerably reduced pressure loss.

All PTC-6 Flow Nozzles supplied by Primary Flow Signal are guaranteed to meet the strict laboratory calibration criteria required to maintain the uncertainty needed for turbine performance testing.

Note(s)
The PTC-6 flow nozzle is a specialized dP device and is required to meet stringent laboratory calibration criteria to be acceptable for use. The risk associated with laboratory failures and the legitimacy of laboratory data should be heavily considered when selecting a supplier for your PTC-6 application. All Primary Flow Signal PTC-6 supplied units are independently calibrated at a leading High Reynolds calibration facility and are guaranteed by PFS to meet PTC-6 calibration criteria.
