Accurate, repeatable flow measurement is essential to cost-conscious drinking water and wastewater managers. From water storage, transmission lines to raw water, water treatment and more; reducing costs and improving flow control is on everyone’s mind. McCrometer mag meters, propeller meters and differential pressure flow meters offer unbeatable value in cost of installation and ownership, and set the standard for ease-of-use, ruggedness and reliability. Our leading-edge meters offer versatile, accurate flow measurement used in facilities across the globe.
How to Know Which Drinking Water or Wastewater Flow Meter is Right
Cost: Typically when choosing a flow meter, the higher the accuracy the higher the cost. In addition to the cost of the meter, things to consider include what it costs to install, calibrate, replace your meter or shut down your line. As you compare different meters, be sure to amortize the total cost of the flow meter over its lifespan.
Application: Whether the fluid media is drinking water or wastewater, knowing how conductive the media is in the pipe will be a big part of your decision. Some flow meters are affected by fluid temperature and operating pressure, so it’s critical that the meter you select has specifications that will meet your application needs.
Upstream and Downstream Piping: When meters are placed too close to pumps, valves, elbows and other obstructions, unstable or irregular flow can impact performance. Before selecting a meter, check the specific pipe run requirements from the meter to a stable flow profile.
