Water injection is an important part of maintaining a successful monitoring well application. It is used to control pressure and drive flow towards the wellhead but will typically contain many rough particulates. It also may create vacuum conditions, a difficult application to measure. The Rosemount Wedge flow meter is uniquely designed to solve this issue, with the primary element positioned to allow entrained solids to pass underneath and handle vacuum conditions. The wedge element itself has no sensitive measurement surfaces that will affect accuracy, meaning it can withstand constant erosive conditions.
The Rosemount 9195 Wedge Flow Meter offers a fully assembled design for accurate measurement of fluids that wear or plug other meter designs. The wedge shaped element provides abrasion resistance due to the lack of a critically sharp edge. Highly viscous fluids can also be measured accurately due to the linear response of the meter even at low Reynold’s Number. Designed as a complete flow meter, the optional Application Packages simplify ordering to ensure the correct remote seal system is specified based on application needs. Available with three transmitter connection styles, the 9195 can help provide a solution in difficult applications.
