McCrometer Presents Hands-On Demonstrations of the V-Cone and Wafer-Cone Flow Meters at ISA Automation Week

Attendees at ISA Automation Week will get hands-on demonstrations of McCrometer’s advanced differential pressure (dP) V-Cone Flow Meter and flexible Wafer-Cone Flow Meter solutions in Exhibit Booth 125, as well as receive Free Flow Meter Application Evaluations from applications experts.

The space-saving V-Cone® Flow Meter and highly scalable Wafer-Cone® Flow Meter both feature McCrometer’s innovative dP technology with built-in flow conditioning. Visitors to McCrometer’s booth will have the opportunity to see model demonstrations and view video flow measurement technology presentations. These compact flow meters require straight pipe runs of only 0-3 upstream and 0-1 downstream for accurate measurement, saving installation space/weight while requiring virtually no maintenance and offering long life at low lifecycle costs.

V-Cone Flow Meter
The V-Cone’s unique self-conditioning design provides an exceptionally stable flow profile for reliable measurement, featuring accuracy of ±0.5% of actual flow and repeatability of ±0.1% over the entire range. It is ideal for the measurement of liquid, steam or gas and is available for line sizes from 0.5 to 120 inches, with an unmatched 10:1 turndown ratio for wide range-ability. A no-moving-parts design means that the V-Cone provides process and plant engineers with an extremely rugged instrument, which results in an unprecedented long life (typically exceeding 25 years).

Wafer-Cone Flow Meter
The versatile Wafer-Cone Flow Meter is ideal for small line size processes, delivering superior accuracy and repeatability for liquid, gas or steam measurement in process and plant operations. Advanced dP technology and built-in flow conditioning eliminate the need for extensive up/down stream straight pipe runs required by Orifice Plates and Venturi Tubes. It can be installed virtually anywhere in a piping system or can be easily retrofit into an existing piping layout, resulting in significant installation flexibility and significant cost savings in new installations.

The Wafer-Cone’s flexible design allows it to be fitted between two flanges for a more compact installation that can be easily changed-out to accommodate changing flow process requirements or conditions. Operating over a turndown range of 10:1, the Wafer-Cone is designed for service in small process line sizes from 1 to 6 inches and is ideal for a wide range of industrial applications including conventional natural gas wells, chemical refining, industrial waste treatment and landfill applications.
