2300 Venturi Flow Meter
- 1/3 the cost of Cast Iron
- No Corrosion
The venturi is a mainstay for many applications because of its tried and true simplicity. The Westfall Model 2300 offers a short laying length, easy installation, corrosion resistance and minimal maintenance requirements, making it as economical as it is accurate and consistent. It’s a better venturi for less money and is especially good at measuring gas flows.

The Westfall 2300 Venturi is made of Fiberglass Reinforced DERAKANE® Vinyl Ester Epoxy in a wide range of standard and custom sizes to meet your particular application. This material is dimensionally stable and will ensure accurate flow measurement for long life. It is highly corrosion resistant, self-scouring, and can accommodate a wide range of line fluids, line pressures and temperature conditions up 3500 F. It can be supplied with Bronze, Stainless Steel or other metal throat materials. The carbon steel holding flange is coated with Vinyl Ester Epoxy and has 316 Stainless Steel pressure connections. The Model 2300 comes ready to install with neoprene flange gaskets, to fit pipes from 3/4” to 120”.
Longitudinal Section of Westfall Model 2300 Venturi
Constructed of fiberglass reinforced vinyl ester. Also available with stainless steel throat liner and stainless steel flange.Westfall Manufacturing has been producing customized Venturi Flow Meters to meet our customers’ specifications since 1958. These easy to install, low maintenance devices provide reliable performance and minimal headloss for a wide range of applications.
This venturi’s short laying length design provides high accuracy and low permanent pressure loss. The flow conditioning within the inlet section allows for closer coupling with upstream pipe fittings. Should pressure drop be of importance in a particular piping network, the outlet cone can be extended to satisfy the user’s headloss requirements.
Applications:
- Municipal and Industrial Flow Meter Measurement
- Potable Water
- Waste Water
- Wide Range of Industrial and Commercial Gas Flow Measurement
Advantages:
- Low Permanent Pressure Loss
