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...
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...
Oftentimes in municipal flow applications utilities and districts opt for a propeller meter, an electromagnetic (mag) meter, or another type of “no moving parts” meter like an ultrasonic device. However, there are instances in which a differential pressure (DP) meter...
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,...
In the modern age, accurate and efficient flow measurement is crucial for managing water resources effectively in the municipal market. Municipalities worldwide are faced with the task of ensuring reliable water supply, monitoring usage, and managing wastewater...
As the world's population continues to grow, food production must keep up with the increasing demand. The agriculture industry is constantly looking for ways to increase efficiency and output without sacrificing quality. One way to achieve this is by implementing...
