FPD350 Torbar Averaging pitot tubes

Product catalog summary
Overview: The FPD350 Torbar is an averaging pitot tube designed for economical flow metering of gases, liquids, and steam. It features a unique profile for high flow turndown, long-term stability, and low permanent pressure loss, suitable for pipes up to 5000 mm in diameter.
Specifications: The Torbar accommodates pipe sizes from 10 to 8000 mm and can be used in various duct shapes. It offers dual averaging for accuracy with asymmetric flow profiles and is available in hot-tap versions for pressurized pipes.
Design and Components: The Torbar is a multiport self-averaging flow meter with an outer impact tube, internal averaging tube, low-pressure chamber, and impulse connections. It ensures accurate pressure representation through second-order averaging.
Installation and Models: Available in various models with in-line, threaded, and flanged fittings, each designed for specific pipe sizes and fluid types, with defined pressure and temperature ratings.
Materials and Options: Probe materials include 316 and 304L stainless steel, Alloy 400, Alloy C276, 6MO, Duplex, and Super Duplex. Options include various valve types and direct mount configurations for differential pressure output.
Accessories: Accessories include flanged pipe fittings, stud bolts, nuts, gaskets, and gear retraction assemblies, with detailed dimensional information for different ANSI and DIN classes.
Material Specifications: Construction materials include super duplex, carbon steel, stainless steel, and various alloys, with packing gland and gasket materials specified.
Pipe Orientation and Shape: Suitable for horizontal or vertical, circular or rectangular pipes/ducts.
Process Isolation Valves: Options include 3-inch flanged ball and gate valves made from various materials.
Design Options: Features include partial insertion probes, gear retract mechanisms, bidirectional flow, and special neck lengths.
Fitting Accessories: Air eliminator packages and condensate pots are available with different fitting options.
Surface Treatment: Oxygen cleaning is available.
Certification and Testing: Certifications include material certificates according to EN 10204 and NACE standards, with testing options like impact testing and hardness surveys.
Documentation Language: Available in English, German, Italian, Spanish, French, and Chinese.
Contact Information: Contact details for ABB Limited in the UK and ABB Inc. in the USA are provided.

— 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 directly...
