Abstract:
1. An apparatus for measuring flow of a process fluid based upon a differential pressure, comprising: an elongate spool providing a spool conduit therethrough adapted to be coupled in line with process piping to receive the flow of process fluid; a meter body carried in the elongate spool receiving the spool conduit therethrough, the meter body including a primary element opening which extends from the spool conduit to outside of the meter body; a carrier including a primary element configured to removably mount to the meter body and position the primary element in the spool conduit through the primary element opening, the carrier including an upstream pressure conduit and a downstream pressure conduit; and a pressure transmitter coupled to the upstream and downstream pressure conduits configured to measure the flow of process fluid based upon a pressure difference between the upstream and downstream pressure conduits.
