Differential pressure measurement with our modern meters – An indispensable measuring method
Differential pressure measurement technology is still an indispensable measuring method for to measure all possible fluids in a wide variety of applications.
One of the main advantages of differential pressure measuring technology is that it is a standardized measuring procedure (ISO 5167), so that during the operation you can check all measured values for plausibility.
