EMCO Wedge Meter Type EWF

Description

Wedge Flow Meters from EMCOWEDGE are used as primary elements in ISO standardised flow measurement of liquid, gas and steam. The EMCOWEDGE type EWF is very suitablte for viscous liquids. The wedge design makes it less sensitive for solid particles and therefore no risk of clogging. Bi-directional flow is possible.

Design

Pipelines carrying highly viscous liquids are often heated by steam tracing. EMCOWEDGE can be delivered with steam tracing for lowering the viscosity for better measuring accuracy. The steam tracing can be delivered in 2 designs: Semi-steam jacket and full steam jacket. The latter is supplied with process flange connection typical 2 pipe sizes larger than the process pipe. The steam jacket is supplied with 2 steam connections and 1 drain connection
