Insertion vortex flow sensor
V-Barâ„¢ EMCO Flow Systems

EMCO's model V-Bar™ flow meter is an insertion vortex shedding flow meter. The V-Bar™ flow meter provides significant cost savings for line sizes from 3 to 80" without compromising performance. With high-accuracy, microprocessor-based electronics, no moving parts, and rugged construction, the V-Bar™ flow meter gives you the benefits of over 35 years of practical experience. The V-Bar™ flow meter measures liquids or gases, including steam, for pipe sizes from 3 to 80".

Unparalleled Performance

* ± 1.0% of rate accuracy for liquids
* ± 1.5% of rate accuracy for gas and steam
* ± 0.15% of rate repeatability
* Turndown ratio up to 25:1
* FM and CSA approvals
* Calibration is traceable to NIST

Significant Cost Savings

* One V-Bar™ flow meter is suitable for pipe sizes from 3 to 80", so there is one purchase price regardless of pipe size, resulting in typical savings of up to 80% for 24" lines and 50% for 10" lines compared to full-bore flow meters
* Installed quickly and easily, saving as much as 70% in labor installation costs when compared to full-bore flow meters
* Hot-tap-compatible installation allows removal without process shutdown; this not only avoids disruption of a critical process but also reduces labor costs
* No moving parts reduces maintenance costs
* Negligible pressure drop, typically 10 times less than an orifice plate, reduces energy and operating costs
