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...
Straightening vanes and flow straighteners, in tandem with propeller meters, have been an important component of flow measurement in the agriculture industry – and for a good reason. Typically installed near flow disturbers or in short straight-run applications, flow...
Sometimes, a meter installation isn’t as straightforward as we’d like it to be. To prevent potentially time-consuming and frustrating delays and issues, McCrometer offers a startup service.
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...
While it’s true that McCrometer’s Technical Support and Service Department typically assists customers after the point of purchase, there also happens to be several services offered prior to the meter being manufactured. The FPI Mag, McCrometer’s full profile...
Debris in a pipeline can mean a wide range of organic or inorganic matter – but what really matters is the effect it has on your flow meter and measurement data. So, how does debris affect various flow meters, and what are your best options for various flow...
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 offers four insertion-style electromagnetic (mag) meters, which have similar designs and product names. If you’re interested in an insertion mag meter, or are comparing them to traditional full-bore mag meters, here’s what you need to know in order to...
What is dewatering? Dewatering is any removal of water from a pit, underground utility, foundation, or substructure, and can be found in industries like mining, mineral processing, municipal wastewater, and construction. It’s often done to improve the ground quality,...
1. Know Your “why” Understanding the purpose of the flow meter in your flow project and why you’re measuring is a great start when building your business case. Implementing a flow meter, especially a feature-rich flow meter, will provide you with valuable data. Are...
1. Raw Water Supply What It Is Raw water supply must undergo treatment before being turned into steam for turbines at a power plant. Phase changes can cause buildup in piping systems if raw water isn’t treated; in addition to groundwater or surface water sources such...
