Ballast water flow applications have regulatory, space, and weight challenges. Read up on the best flow solutions for application success.
Flow Meter Comparison
Better Solutions for Reverse Osmosis Flow Measurement
There are better metering options for measuring all points of the RO process including raw water intake, pure water, and effluent, by implementing electromagnetic, propeller, and even differential pressure technologies
Electromagnetic Flow Meters, Flow Straighteners, and Vanes: Compatible or Not?
If flow straighteners and vanes bring so much benefit to propeller-using applications, is the same true for electromagnetic (mag) measurement applications? We spoke with the McCrometer engineering team and got the answer.
McCrometer Insertion-Style Mag Meters: A Comparison
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...
V-Cone vs. Orifice Plate: Similarities and Differences
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...
V-Cone vs. Coriolis: A Comparison
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...
V-Cone vs. Venturi: A Comparison
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...
Flow Meters for Agriculture Applications: An Overview
The changing regulatory environment has made flow meter implementation more popular in many agricultural and turf irrigation applications. Meters have gotten a negative reputation because historically, they’ve been implemented only when resources are limited, and...
Choosing Between FlowCom and FlowConnect: A Handy Guide for Irrigators
Since McCrometer offers two products with similar-sounding names and functions, it can be confusing to compare your choices of propeller meter registers. It’s fairly simple to differentiate – however, deciding which option works for you and your metering project may...
McMag 2000 vs. McMag 3000: What’s the Difference?
We’ll let you in on a secret – the difference is more than just a number! The names may be similar, but each meter has a unique construction and design, different product specs, and value-rich features that different customers favor. The Mag Meter Tech Specs Despite...
