Built In-Flow condition design ideal for use in tight-fit and retrofit installations.
McCrometer’s V-Cone® Flow Meter is an advanced differential pressure instrument, which is ideal for use with liquid, steam or gas media in even the most challenging conditions.
When accuracy and repeatability are critical, the V-Cone’s performance brings superior value.
V-Cone Flow Meter Benefits and Features:
Proven PerformanceMcCrometer invented and patented the first V-Cone flow meter, in 1985. Today, there are over 75,000 McCrometer V-Cone flow meters installed worldwide.
Accuracy You Can Count OnThe V-Cone flow meter’s unique design provides repeatable accuracy of up to ±0.5% of rate under even the most difficult flow conditions.
High-Performance in Challenging ApplicationsDesigned for mild to harsh operating environments, this advanced flow meter consistently outperforms traditional differential pressure (DP) devices, and other flow technologies.
Maximum Installation FlexibilityCan be installed virtually anywhere in the piping system, or easily retrofit into an existing piping layout giving significant cost savings.
Low-to-No Operating CostsLong-term performance assurance with no moving parts to replace and maintain.
