  1. Stay Grounded: Avoiding Mag Meter Mishaps 7/13/2021

    Electromagnetic (mag) meters are a desirable metering choice for their incredible accuracy and low to no maintenance required over its lifespan. Operating with no moving parts, the appeal is high – however, the ability to troubleshoot in-field is challenging and time-consuming. Luckily, there’s a major contributing factor in installing an effective mag meter that can set you (and your operations) up for success: grounding.

  2. VM V-Cone: When Is A Differential Pressure Meter Best For Municipal Applications? 7/13/2021

    Oftentimes in municipal flow applications utilities and districts opt for a propeller meter, an electromagnetic (mag) meter, or another type of “no moving parts” meter like an ultrasonic device. However, there are instances in which a differential pressure (DP) meter is a more attractive option, and specifically the VM V-Cone, McCrometer’s DP meter designed for a wide variety of municipal flow applications.

  3. Electromagnetic Flow Meters, Flow Straighteners, And Vanes: Compatible Or Not? 7/13/2021

    Those familiar with propeller flow meters are usually familiar with their common counterparts, flow straighteners and vanes. Implemented to reduce swirl in shorter straight-run applications, straighteners are a complementary instrument for agriculture, irrigation, and municipal flow measurement applications.

  4. District Heating In France: A V-Cone Customer Success Story 7/13/2021

    The V-Cone® is widely known for its success as a metering solution in the oil and gas industry, but it’s also a burgeoning solution for many industrial applications, including district steam. The V-Cone’s tolerance for a range of flow conditions and media, as well as available customization, make it a viable, lasting solution for many unique new and retrofit steam applications.

  5. McCrometer, Inc. Announces NSF-61 And NSF-372 Certification For Electromagnetic Meters 6/30/2021

    McCrometer, Inc., a globally recognized flow meter manufacturer, recently announced NSF-61 and NSF-372 certification of the Ultra Mag® and Dura Mag® electromagnetic (mag) flow meters. NSF-61 is an international standard for drinking water and certifies that the Ultra Mag and Dura Mag, as well as all components and materials, meet health and safety requirements for the municipal water industry.

  6. Pinpointing Accurate Steam Use In Dynamic Industrial Processes 6/1/2021

    In commercial brewing — as with other food, chemical, or industrial processes — control over steam heating can have significant influence on process costs and consistent quality in the final product. But its measurement and control can also be impacted by unique circumstances of those applications. Here is how changing just one aspect of steam measurement brought economy and consistency to multiple aspects of a brewer’s overall process.

  7. A Better Option For Water Transfer In Oil And Gas Applications 3/24/2021

    Until recently, it was difficult to find an optimal meter for the harsh conditions that can occur during water transfer in oil and gas applications. The good news is that an effective, accurate, and rugged meter is emerging as an alternative.

  8. McCrometer, Inc. Announces Telemetry Capability For Electromagnetic Meters 8/27/2020

    McCrometer, Inc., a globally recognized flow meter manufacturer, recently announced the launch of their redesigned telemetry offering for their electromagnetic (mag) product line of flow meters.

  9. Wafer-Style Mag Meters Now Feature Durable Liners In Smaller Sizes 7/22/2020

    Electromagnetic meters have increasingly become the instrument of choice for municipal utility and industrial water measurement applications where highly accurate flow measurement is critical. Also known as mag meters, these devices contain no moving parts, so they are both reliable and virtually maintenance-free. However, if a mag meter’s liner is torn or delaminates, it can lead to serious problems and major expenses.

  10. Converters: The Real Heroes Of Flow Measurement 7/17/2020

    Durable and reliable flow meters play a vital role in municipal water operations, but having the right converter to capture and transmit the resulting information is critical to maximize their value. Converters are expected to be robust and too often are taken for granted. Selecting the right converter to pair with your flow meters can make the difference in whether your data provides an average return on investment or the maximum benefit.
