: Is there a suitable way of measuring steam flow in 12" to 16" OD pipe with flows ranging from 500 to 10,000 pounds per hour at 10 psi? Should we be considering condensate flow measuring instead? Rick.
Measuring a 20:1 turndown at 10 psi would be difficult with a fixed orifice plate or even a flow nozzle. If its convenient to install a water meter on this system, that might be the easiest and cheapest way to go.
