31. Cost-Effective Telemetry For Agricultural Applications 7/8/2020

    Implementing telemetry — the ability to transmit flow meter readings — allows water managers in irrigation districts and small rural systems to work smarter, not harder, by aggregating critical, real-time flow information. Until recently, telemetry was expensive and plagued with problems. However, advanced technology offers an ideal solution.

32. How Small Utilities Can Afford To Reap The Benefits Of Large District Metering Solutions 7/1/2020

    Water scarcity issues and increased production costs are putting more pressure than ever on small water utilities, which tend to rely on relatively few personnel to deliver a quality, affordable product to consumers. The good news is that proper flow metering technology and resulting data can help ensure that water quality and service in smaller communities remain on par with larger systems.

33. McCrometer, Inc. Announces New Wafer-Style Flow Meters 5/19/2020

    McCrometer, Inc., a globally recognized flow meter manufacturer, recently announced the expanded line sizes of their existing popular products, the Dura Mag® and Ultra Mag® flow meters.

34. Retrofitting Water Systems With The Best Meters For The Job 4/14/2020

    Although not every water, wastewater, or industrial design engineer or operations manager is familiar with the advantages of the V-Cone differential-pressure (DP) meter design, they are certainly familiar with the problems it can solve. Here is a step-by-step description of how V-Cone meters with + 0.5 percent accuracy offer better alternatives in applications currently being failed by other metering technologies.

35. Monitor Cooling Tower Water Consumption Accurately, Without Disruption 4/9/2020

    Operations that want to track cooling tower water use accurately in 24/7 applications — without having to disrupt processes to install a new meter — need options that are easy to retrofit into continuous operations. Here’s how they can achieve + 0.5 percent flow meter accuracy without compromising cooling tower availability, by employing full-profile insertion (FPI) electromagnetic flow meters (mag meters) with hot-tap installation capabilities.

36. McCrometer, Inc. Announces New Flow Straightener Design 2/17/2020

    McCrometer, Inc., a globally recognized flow meter manufacturer, recently announced the launch of their newest product, the FS200 flow straightener.

37. McCrometer, Inc. Announces New McMag2000 Flow Meter 2/11/2020

    McCrometer, Inc., a globally recognized flow meter manufacturer, recently announced the upcoming launch of their newest product, the McMag^2000TM flow meter.

38. Optimal CO2 Metering Solution Critical To Enhanced Oil Recovery 11/27/2019

    To combat production declines at aging oil wells, oil and gas companies turn to enhanced oil recovery to optimize output. Some of those methods are dependent on collecting CO2 from gas operations and holding it underground — also known as carbon capture and storage — until needed. The ability to accurately measure CO2 in these processes is critical.

39. How Targeted Investments By Private Water Can Boost Public Support 10/30/2019

    A significant number of utilities operating in smaller regions where resources are strained, and where the daily business of water treatment can be exceedingly expensive, have turned to privately owned companies to manage their drinking water and wastewater operations. The downside is that this arrangement also tends to bring heavy scrutiny from a public that expects the provider to put service above the bottom line. Fortunately, targeted investments in solutions can address the issue.

40. Not All Differential Pressure Meters Are Created Equal 10/21/2019

    Due to the dynamics of liquids and gases flowing through elbows, valves, pumps, and other pipeline structures, every flow-meter methodology has its own design limitations. Unlike Venturi meters, pitot tubes, orifice plates, and other devices, V-Cone meters provide highly accurate and reliable readings with minimal straight-pipe length restrictions and virtually no maintenance, in pipe sizes up to 120”.
