Cone flowmeter
The cone flowmeter is a differential pressure (DP) flowmeter specifically engineered for applications with high accuracy requirements and disturbed flow
The cone flowmeter is a differential pressure (DP) flowmeter specifically engineered for applications with high accuracy requirements and disturbed flow profiles in confined installation spaces. The cone meter body can be installed with 3D/2D straight upstream/downstream pipe length and is suitable for almost any application from natural gas to steam to liquid hydrocarbons. KROHNE offers the complete cone flow metering assembly with the flow element, DP transmitter, accessories, engineering, testing and documentation from one single source.
The cone is installed in the centre of the measuring tube forcing the fluid through an annular gap. A controlled turbulence region behind the cone flattens the incoming irregular velocity profile and induces a stable differential pressure that is sensed by a downstream centre tap. Designed according to ISO 5167-5 the effect of disturbed flow profiles is eliminated and high accuracies can be achieved even with short straight pipe length. The calculated flow coefficient has an uncalibrated uncertainty of < ±5% of measured value as defined in the ISO 5167-5. KROHNE typically supplies cone meters with uncertainties of < ±0.3% calibrated on fully accredited hot water calibration facilities.
The sophisticated OPTIBAR DP 7060 or the OPTIBAR DP 3050 DP transmitter is the perfect companion for this DP flowmeter solution. Both are 3D linearised and ensure advanced performance even at high static pressures. The OPTIBAR DP series has an outstanding long-term stability and a low total cost of ownership with a reduced need for field calibrations.

The wedge flowmeter is designed for difficult applications where other flow technologies fail or have a very limited-service life. It can cope with high viscosities, abrasive solids-containing fluids or liquids with a tendency to scaling or agglomeration. The materials can pass the wedge restriction where other flow devices lead to material build-up in a kind of “damming” effect. Due to these advantages the wedge flowmeter has been established as a standard device in particularly difficult applications with harsh process conditions such as refineries where solid coke can pass the flowmeter along with the hot feed flow or in oil production and mining where solids are not yet separated from the stream.
KROHNE offers the complete wedge flowmeter with the wedge element, DP transmitter(s) including diaphragm-seals, accessories, engineering, testing and documentation from a single source. The pressure tapping is typically designed as flange connection for use with diaphragm seals and can be executed redundantly if required.

The Venturi flowmeter is based on a classical Venturi tube, an engineered primary flow element for a most efficient and accurate differential pressure (DP) flow measurement. Thanks to its design, it has an excellent resistance to wear and doesn’t require any maintenance. The service life of the Venturi element is usually equal to the one of the entire plant. It is therefore often the ideal choice in live steam applications of power plants, wet gas flow measurement in natural gas production or CO2 injection, flow measurement of hydrocarbons and LNG as well as in gas-to-liquid processes and refineries. KROHNE offers the complete flowmeter assembly with the Venturi tube, DP transmitter, valves, accessories, engineering, testing and documentation from a single source.
Venturi tubes have one of the lowest permanent pressure loss among all primary elements, contributing to considerable energy conservation and cost savings. KROHNE offers the full range of Venturi tube designs to meet the specific application conditions. Depending on the line size and pressure rating, the Venturi tube will be made of barstock material or sheet metal. Special materials for harsh conditions are available as full material option or often also as cost-effective plasma surface coatings. Special constructions such as redundant tappings, inlet/outlets runs or flow conditioners in accordance with relevant standards (ISO 5167, etc.). can also be supplied.
The throat section and all internal welding are machined to assure perfect surface conditions and flow performance. Welds are outside of the cone-throat transition which makes the construction more precise and rugged compared to standard welded designs.
The sophisticated OPTIBAR DP 7060 and OPTIBAR DP 3050 DP transmitters are the perfect companion for this DP flowmeter solution. They are 3D linearised and ensure advanced performance even at high static pressures.
