Widest flow range of any DP-based flow device…
The McMenon wedge meter product range is adaptable to almost any process condition or installation requirements.
Wedge meters are particularly suitable for fluids that are dirty, viscous, abrasive or with a tendency to foul, providing accurate measurements and resisting conditions that would normally wear the sensitive measurement surfaces found in other, less robust, measurement technologies.
In addition they have the widest flow range of any DP-based flow device and require shorter upstream and downstream straight pipe lengths than some other DP primary elements.
McMenon are the leading manufacturer of wedge meters with the longest in-house experience of manufacture and calibration in the industry. The McMenon offering covers both the traditional Taylor wedge design and the design based on ISO 5167-6:2019.
Sizing and selection is simplified by use of McMenon Solve, the ultimate tool for DP flowmeter sizing and more, used on-line
