— Torbar The Torbar is a multiport self-averaging flow meter with a design based on the classical pitot tube concept of fluid flow measurement and with thousands having been installed into a large variety of industries world wide. Permanently installed types In-line fitting The Torbar produces an averaged differential pressure (DP) signal proportional to the square of the flow rate. The DP output is normally piped to a Differential Pressure transmitter in order to generate an electrical signal proportional to the flow rate. For certain applications, the DP transmitter can be mounted...
