Applications Where Variable Area Flow Meters Deliver Value And Performance

There are many industrial and municipal applications where accurately measuring fluid flow is key to the success of the process. Selecting the right technology for a particular application is an important decision.

Variable Area (VA) flow meters have long been a preferred choice because of their reliability, cost-effectiveness, and simplicity. This simplicity means there is no need for complex electronic components or for a power source. Unlike paddlewheel or ultrasonic meters, which may require specific flow conditions or additional calibration, Variable Area flow meters function reliably across a range of applications and require minimal maintenance. While more complex flow measurement options may offer higher levels of precision and data collection capabilities, Variable Area flow meters remain the technology of choice where simple, dependable performance and cost advantages are a consideration.
