'Durchfluss' (flow rate) is made up of 'durch' (through) and 'Fluss' (flow). The compound therefore describes a flow that passes through a pipe, opening, or system.
Der Durchfluss durch den Filter ist wegen der Verschmutzung deutlich geringer.
The flow rate through the filter is significantly lower because of the contamination.
Verbs such as 'messen' (to measure), 'regeln' (to regulate), 'erhöhen' (to increase), 'verringern' (to reduce), and 'begrenzen' (to limit) are frequently used with 'Durchfluss' (flow rate). 'Durchflussmenge' (flow volume) is also a common combination in technical texts.
Die Anlage misst den Durchfluss automatisch und regelt ihn bei Bedarf.
The system measures the flow rate automatically and regulates it when necessary.
When the pipe, opening, or cross-section is mentioned, 'Durchfluss' (flow rate) is often followed by 'durch' (through) with the accusative. The time expression often follows with 'pro' (per), for example in a quantity measurement.
Der Durchfluss durch die Düse liegt bei fünf Litern pro Sekunde.
The flow rate through the nozzle is five liters per second.
