In which cases choose a machined or rolled welded venturi?

A welded rolled venturi is generally suitable for large diameters up to 1200 mm and the machined venturi does not exceed the diameter 250 mm. Their geometric shape is identical and both models have the advantage of creating only a small permanent pressure drop.
