The V-Cone offers better accuracy and repeatability, wider rangeability, installation flexibility and reduced maintenance. Its performance is so outstanding, some users say it deserves a technology name all its own. Whether measuring swirling fluids or low pressure flows, the V-Cone delivers the accuracy and reliability other devices only achieve under lab conditions. Operation The V-Cone's enhanced performance is due to the shape and position of the cone in relation to the measurement ports. This allows the V-Cone to act as its own flow conditioner, fully conditioning and mixing the flow prior to measurement.
Readings are always precise and reliable, including in low pressure flow situations.
Because the V-Cone can accurately measure disturbed flow, it doesn't require the upstream or downstream straight pipe runs of many other flowmeters. This key feature means the V-Cone can be installed virtually anywhere in a piping system or easily retrofit into an existing piping layout. The result can be significant cost savings. It has no moving parts to replace and maintain. In addition, the contoured shape of the cone directs the flow without impacting it against an abrupt surface.
