McCrometer V-Cone flowmeter

McCrometer’s V-Cone flowmeter is an innovative system for differential pressure flow measurement. Designed for mild to harsh operating environments and for a wide variety of fluids, the flowmeter is claimed to outperform traditional DP devices and other flow technologies, offering better accuracy and repeatability, wider rangeability, installation flexibility and reduced maintenance.

The flowmeter provides repeatable accuracy of up to ±0.5% of rate even under difficult flow conditions. The meter is accurate over a wide range, from very low to extremely high Reynolds numbers. Whether measuring swirling fluids or low pressure flows, the unit is said to deliver the accuracy and reliability other devices achieve under laboratory conditions. It also has low headloss when compared to other dP technologies.

The flowmeter’s enhanced performance is due to the shape and position of the cone in relation to the measurement ports. This allows the unit to act as its own flow conditioner by disrupting all centralised flow disturbances. This fully mixed and conditioned flow results in a low-amplitude, high-frequency signal with little signal noise. Readings are precise, even in low-pressure flow situations.
