Flow Meters for Mining, Metals, and Mineral Processing
Sustainability & renewability starts with your meter.
You can’t manage what you don’t measure. McCrometer has a full suite of flow measurement products to fit the various flow applications in the mining, metals, and minerals industries. From source and storm water measurement, to slurries, fuel, and steam measurement, our meters are designed for challenging flow conditions. Where other technologies and meters struggle, ours thrive and provide the reliable and accurate flow measurement data you need. You can rely on McCrometer to be the sole source provider of flow measurement devices, whether you need an off-the-shelf type meter to quickly install, or a custom solution engineered to ensure you meet your measurement needs.
How to Select the Right Mining Flow Meter
What media are you measuring?
The type of flow media is a major factor in choosing the right flow meter. For pure water applications, propeller meters are a good option, as electromagnetic meters won’t be able to obtain an accurate reading. For slurry applications, a full-bore mag meter is ideal to withstand the harsh, corrosive flow media. For steam, gas, and fuel applications, the V-Cone provides superior, long-term performance.
What are your process conditions?
Factors such as temperature, pressure, available straight-run, and more can affect your meter selection. Knowing your process conditions and surrounding pipeline equipment can help narrow down your metering options.
What are your flow measurement goals?
Understanding your flow data requirements and project goals will assist you with meter selection. There are a variety of communication protocols, system integrations, electronics, and features you’ll need to factor into your decision. For some users, simplicity and ease of installation and maintenance are top priority. For others, built-in verification, AMI/AMR compatibility, and internal datalogging are key features for project success.
