Standard Venturi nozzles are suitable for measuring flow rates in gases, steam and liquids. In the context of ISO 5167, they offer good accuracy with significantly lower permanent pressure losses compared to standard nozzles or orifice plates.

They have excellent wear resistance, but show reduced linearity compared to other differential pressure elements.

The tapping can be designed as corner taps, annular taps, flange ring taps, or socket ring taps.
