D-FW-Wedge_CFP_3

Field IT
Differential Pressure - Primary Flow Element
Wedgemeter II
Series WM: C/F/P

Measures Liquids, Gas and Steam

High Accuracy 0.5% of rate

Bi-directional flow

Low Reynolds number measurement

(as low as Rd 500)

Minimum upstream and downstream

piping requirements

Standard sizes 0.5 to 24

WMF

WMC

The flow element consists of a body and wedge

flow restriction. This restriction creates a
differential pressure in proportion to the square of
the volumetric flow rate. The wedge restriction
has no critical surface dimensions, or sharp
edges, that will affect measurement accuracy as
the result of normally expected wear.
