Description
The Watts 0856740 Flow Measurement Valve is particularly, the 1″ CSM-61-M1-T model is a component in hvac systems used for measuring the inclined plane of flow through pipelines. This kind of valve is a shut-off valve with flow measurement features built into the same valve body. This is made possible the use of a calibrated orifice or venturi on the valve body itself. Whenever the fluid flows over this restriction, there is a pressure difference that is thereby developed. This pressure difference is then measured and converted into flow rate, which is normally indicated on another gauge or sent electronically for display at a distance.
