In Real World Measurement Applications Ideal For Tough Applications Advanced Differential Pressure flow meter Technology T he McCrometer V-Cone flow meter technology accurately measures flow over a wide range of Reynolds numbers, under all kinds of conditions and for a variety of fluids. It operates on the same physical principle as other differential pressure-type flow meters, using the theory of conservation of energy in fluid flow through a pipe. The V-Cone flow meter’s remarkable performance characteristics, however, are the result of its unique design. It features a centrally-located cone inside the tube. The cone interacts with the fluid Advanced DP flow, reshaping the fluid’s flow profile and creating a region of lower pressure immediately Technology: downstream of itself. The pressure difference, Principles of exhibited between the static line pressure and Operation the low pressure created downstream of the cone, can be measured via two pressure sensing taps. One tap is placed slightly upstream of the cone, the other is located in the downstream face of the cone itself. The pressure difference is then incorporated into a derivation of the Bernoulli equation to determine the fluid flow rate. The cone’s central position in the line optimizes the velocity of the flow at the point of measurement, assuring highly accurate, reliable flow measurement regardless of the flow condition upstream of the meter. oil & gas production and delivery • petroleum refining • municipal water & wastewater • chemical/ pharmaceutical processing • power/co-generation • mining • pulp & paper • industrial manufacturing • food & beverage Standard Accuracy: From ± 0.5% of actual flow (certain fluids and Reynolds number applications require special calibrations to achieve this value). Repeatability: Flow Ranges: Standard Beta Ratios: Head Loss: Installation Piping Requirements: ±0.1% or better. 10:1 and greater. 0.45 through 0.80, special betas available. Varies with beta ratio and DP. Typically 0-3 diameters upstream and 0-1 diameters downstream of the cone are required, depending on fittings or valves in the adjacent pipeline.
