Wafer-Cone® Flow Meter DatasheetSource: McCrometer, Inc.
The Wafer-Cone flowmeter is a differential pressure type flow measurement device. A cone is positioned in the center of the pipe to increase the velocity of the flowing fluid and create a differential pressure. This pressure difference can be measured and used to accurately interpret flowrate. Two taps are provided on every Wafer-Cone to allow sensing of the high and low pressures.
