McCrometer’s V-Cone® flow meter, patented in 1985 and popular for industries such as oil and gas, offers the benefit of a calibration from the factory prior to shipping to the installation site. This calibration, testing the meter against the entire Reynolds range, is...
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...
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...
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...
Produced Water is a byproduct of oil production. Whether it is a byproduct of flow back or the water component of the oil separation process, produced water can be a difficult measurement point but is a very important part of the process. Several parameters make it...
It is time to get your Groove On. McCrometer has released their innovative Electromagnetic Flow Meter with integrated Grooved End connections. Are you tired of bolting on extra flanges with Victaulic end connections welded to them? It is time consuming and makes an...
Water Transfer and the Associated Use Cases The water transfer industry evolved to support one of the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods called hydrofracking. Hydrofracking or “fracking” involves the injection of a mixture of water, sand, and proprietary chemicals at...
