Abstract: The Wedge element has been used to solve many difficult flow problems since the late I950s. The device was originally designed to meter hard to handle fluids - fluids which tend to solidify when dead-ended, plug static lead lines, or quickly wear away the sharp edge of a conventional orifice plate. The Hedge element was also designed to accurately measure flow in the laminar Reynolds number range, an area where most head elements exhibit significant deviation from the square root relationship between flow rate and differential pressure. Years of testing and application has proven the Wedge element to be a cost effective answer to most flow problems in general. This paper will review the basic principles of the Wedge element, summarize its Inherent advantages, and discuss specific applications.
