Wedge flow meter consists of a pipe inside which a v-shaped wedge is fitted. Through this constriction, a differential pressure is generated which is dependent upon the volume flow. Due to its design, the wedge flow meter is suitable for nearly all types of flow, especially for media with a very low Reynolds number of 300 up to very high Reynolds numbers of several million. As a result, it is very well suited for the measurement of slurries and highly viscous media (e.g. Wastewater, sewage sludge, tar sand, cement) as well as gases and vapors.

Wedge Meters are used on many different process applications and conditions. Line sizes available range from 25mm up to 800mm and greater. Wedge Meter design provides a key cost saving benefit, as the profile is virtually immune to any wear or erosion, therefore with very little maintenance and inspection required. Wedge Meters can be supplied to meet the requirements of your application. We offer a number of different designs to suit the needs of any pipe-work configuration, with different lengths, orientations and end connections available.
