DEFINITION

Classification: 137/115.11

Venturi:

(under subclass 115.03) Subject matter wherein the sensor includes a device which is a part of the main flow passage having a cross section of the part gradually constricted to a throat between two ends of the part and gradually expanded from the throat to the cross section of the passage.

(1) Note. The device is used with a pressure tap at the throat and another pressure tap at the normal flow passage to register the pressure differential at the throat relative to a pressure in the normal passage and signals the sensor which in turn exercises the control of the flow in the bypass or relief.
