Flowmetering Gilflo and ILVA flowmeters 3
Step 2.
Using the value of Q E as determined in Step 1, select the correct size of the ILVA flowmeter using the Table below. In practice, it will often be the line size that determines the choice of the flowmeter.

Example: Determine which ILVA pipeline unit is required to measure the flow of compressed air when: 1: Estimated maximum rate of flow = 500 s m³/h at 7 bar g and 20 °C Note : Standard conditions = 1.013 bar a, 0 °C giving a standard density of 1.29 kg / m³ S F

2: Calculate Q E from:
Q
Q E = 110 litres /min Q E = 110 litres /min Q E = 110 litres/min Q =(500 x 16.667) x E Q =(500 x 16.667) x E
So a DN50 ILVA is recommended. Note: 1 m³/h = 16.667 litres /min
