The Primary Flow Signal HVT-FV Fabricated Venturi Flow Meter provides accurate flow measurement for municipal and industrial applications. This fabricated venturi flow meter supports clear liquids, gas, contaminated fluids, and solid-bearing line fluids. It also helps reduce permanent pressure loss while maintaining dependable measurement performance.
The HVT-FV uses an improved Venturi geometry that offers strong design flexibility. Teams can select end connections, materials, schedules, lengths, and configurations to meet pressure, temperature, flow range, line size, laying length, and project requirements. Available connection styles include flanged, threaded, butt welded, socket welded, victaulic, and other configurations.
The fabricated venturi flow meter has no moving parts, which helps extend service life and reduce maintenance concerns. It also has no annular chambers, so it helps reduce plugging issues in demanding flow applications. In addition, the compact HVT design can support limited-space installations.
Westech Industrial supplies Primary Flow Signal flow measurement solutions for industrial and municipal applications. Our team can help review meter sizing, materials, line connections, accessories, and application requirements. Westech also offers service capabilities and custom fabrication support for projects that require integrated flow measurement, process skids, analyzer shelters, panels, or packaged systems.

Description
PRODUCT FEATURES
Compact Venturi Design
The HVT-FV fabricated venturi flow meter uses a compact geometry for flow measurement applications with limited space. Its already shortened laying length can also be designed even shorter when the installation requires it. Therefore, the HVT-FV can help project teams solve fitment challenges in existing piping systems.
Low Permanent Pressure Loss
The HVT design improves on classical Venturi geometry by reducing permanent pressure loss. This helps facilities measure flow while limiting unnecessary energy losses in the system. As a result, the fabricated venturi flow meter works well in applications where efficient flow measurement matters.
Flexible Connection Options
The HVT-FV offers strong design and engineering flexibility. Line and port connections can be configured to match site requirements. Options include flanged, threaded, butt welded, socket welded, victaulic, and additional configurations. This flexibility helps simplify integration into new systems, retrofits, and custom piping layouts.
Broad Material Selection
Primary Flow Signal offers common materials such as carbon steel, 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, and chrome moly grades 11, 22, and 91. Other material options include aluminum, Monel, tantalum, zirconium, Hastelloy B and C, titanium, duplex stainless steel, and 321 stainless steel. Because of this range, teams can select materials based on process fluid, temperature, pressure, and corrosion requirements.
Reliable Long-Term Operation
This fabricated venturi flow meter has no moving parts. Therefore, it supports long service life and reduces common mechanical wear concerns. The design also lowers susceptibility to erosion, which helps in demanding municipal and industrial applications. In addition, the meter has no annular chambers. This helps prevent plugging in contaminated or solids-bearing line fluids.
Strong Measurement Performance
The HVT-FV provides repeatability of ±0.1%. It also supports basic accuracy of ±0.25% when calibrated and ±0.50% uncalibrated, based on the listed 2 Sigma value. Depending on the meter model, design, and secondary instrumentation, turndown ratios of 10:1, 20:1, 50:1, or greater can be achieved.
Versatile Installation
The HVT-FV fabricated venturi flow meter mounts in any position. It has no downstream installation effect and only minimal upstream installation effect. This helps teams manage real-world piping layouts where ideal straight-run conditions may not always exist. However, final straight piping requirements should still be reviewed for each application.
Options for Difficult Fluids
Specialized features and equipment are available for demanding services. A sealed metering system can support solids-bearing or contaminated line fluids. Flow Masters can also extend the meter’s capabilities with integrated control, management, and reporting functions.
Applications
The HVT-FV fabricated venturi flow meter supports municipal and industrial flow measurement where accuracy, durability, and low head loss matter. It can be used in clear liquid, gas, contaminated, and solid-bearing line fluid applications.
