Ideal for Measuring Wet Gas, Condensate & Dirty or Abrasive Flows

With its advanced space-saving design, the new high accuracy V-Cone® FPSO Flow Meter is the ideal liquid, gas or steam measurement solution for cramped Floating Production, Storage and Offloading Vessels operating in deepwater or remote areas.

The V-Cone’s unique no-moving parts design provides built-in flow conditioning, which nearly eliminates the upstream/downstream straight pipe runs required by nearly all flow meter technologies. Typical flow meter installations require 10 to 40 straight pipe diameters upstream from the meter and 5 or more straight pipe diameters downstream to eliminate the effects of swirl and other pipeline disturbances caused by valves or elbows that negatively affect measurement accuracy.

The compact V-Cone reduces flow meter straight pipe run requirements by up to 70 percent or more and needs only 0-3 straight pipe diameters upstream and 0-1 downstream to operate effectively. It fits in tight installations aboard FSPO Vessels as well as in sub-sea applications, while also reducing pipe material costs and installation labor costs dramatically. Accuracy is +0.5%, with a repeatability of +0.1%.

The versatile V-Cone operates over a wide flow range of 10:1 and supports line sizes from 0.5 to 120 inches. Oil/gas production and refining engineers can rely on the V-Cone Flow Meter for long life and low cost of ownership because it requires virtually no recalibration or maintenance over an exceptionally long life.

McCrometer’s versatile V-Cone Flow Meter is compatible with the demanding standards of the oil/gas production, delivery and refining industry.
