V-Cone How it Works

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.
