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.
