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...
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...
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...
Many McCrometer partners and customers require their flow meters to comply with certain standards in order to be implemented as a part of their flow project. Oftentimes, the standard is well-known and mandatory to operate in many geographic regions. Some are...
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...
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...
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...
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...
