V-Cone How it Works

The V-Cone is a differential pressure type flow meter with a unique design that conditions the flow prior to measurement.

Differential pressure is created by a cone placed in the center
of the pipe.

The cone is shaped so that it “flattens” the fluid velocity profile in
the pipe, creating a more stable signal across wide flow
downturns.

Flow rate is calculated by measuring the difference between the
pressure upstream of the cone at the meter wall and the
pressure downstream of the cone through its center.
