You’ve seen our spec sheets. You’re familiar with our website. But how many fascinating stories of V-Cone® applications have you heard? We’re here to share 3 little known facts about the V-Cone, from our V-Cone Applications Engineering Manager. A Strong Solution One...
While there are many quality control procedures McCrometer performs to ensure a meter is manufactured to spec and in accordance with ISO 9001 (among other standards), there’s a specific test that some McCrometer customers opt to have performed on their meter. Known as...
The V-Cone® is one of McCrometer’s most versatile flow meters, in the ability to customize pressure taps, end connections, and most of all – material of construction. Often, the material construction varies from customer to customer based on the demands of the...
While it’s true that the V-Cone® primary element does the flow measuring, the transmitter is also an important component to effective flow measurement, and the decision-making that results from that data collection. For high turndown applications, customers have the...
Part of the V-Cone®’s appeal is its ability to be customized, including made-to-order end connections – a major benefit for engineers with a long list of specifications to meet and project goals to accomplish. We spoke to the McCrometer V-Cone engineers about the...
Contrary to the popular Beach Boys song, vibrations aren’t always good – especially when they interfere with the functionality of your flow meter. In busy spaces where neighboring equipment gives off varying frequencies, having a flow meter that can mitigate...
We often hear the terms “cladding” and “weld overlay” used synonymously – and while the two terms are related, they do differ. We asked the engineering experts at McCrometer to weigh in on the similarities and differences between cladding and weld overlay, and here’s...
McCrometer invented the V-Cone® in 1985 and has set a standard for cone-style meters ever since. However, despite that innovation, orifice plates are a more widely implemented differential pressure (DP) flow meter, especially when considered by engineers for flow...
When engineers seek out a meter for high accuracy measurement, two potential options emerge that differ in technology: the Coriolis and the V-Cone®. So how do these meters compare in application and specs? Let’s review. Differing Technologies for Flow Projects The...
The “V” in V-Cone® is often mistaken to mean “Venturi-Cone,” however, this is not the case. The “V” represents the shape of the cone in the meter itself, designed to measure flow via the Bernoulli principle. Both the V-Cone and the Venturi are both differential...
As mentioned previously in the Basic Water Transfer Use Cases Blog, most water transfer operations (70%) are handled using battery powered flow meters. They read their totals from the totalizer on the display and may utilize the built in data logger to quantify rates...
Introduction The Oil and Gas industry operates on a foundation of precision and efficiency. Among the many critical aspects that demand accurate measurement, flow rates stand as a vital indicator of production, efficiency, and resource utilization. In this blog, we...
California may be celebrating a recent departure from the longstanding drought, but there’s certainly no departure from water conservation and sustainability efforts. In fact, ever since the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) went into effect in 2014,...
