IMPOSSIBLE MEASUREMENT MADE POSSIBLE CONNECTING YOUR BUSI NESS TO THE TECHNOLO GY RESOURCES YOU NEED The difficulties arising in flow measurement are numerous:
Non-homogeneous processes
Abrasive materials
Wide pressure variations, etc.
INDUSTRIES
The TORUS WEDGE® Primary Flow Element sets the stage for revolutionizing modern flow measurement of liquids, gases, slurries, steam, etc., by combining the best attributes of various proven technologies into a single device to address these issues. LONG-TERM OPERATIONAL COST SAVINGS With labor and material costs escalating yearly, operators are looking for new tools to increase profitability. Field personnel can easily check or replace any TORUS WEDGE unit since its simple design allows it to fit between standard pipe flanges and the unit will not bow or distort. The TORUS WEDGE is bi-directional so field personnel cannot install the unit backwards.
