Veris Accelabar Brochure - Manual (Page 4)

Comparative Analysis vs. Other Flow Meters
The Accelabar fills the need not presently being filled
by other flow meters for applications that:
• Do not have sufficient velocity to produce a readable
signal or sufficient turndown
• Require the highest accuracy over an extended range
• Have little or no straight run piping before the meter
The Accelabar performance
characteristics far exceed
those of other DP meters,
vortex meters and many
other flow meters.
These charts show the actual
performance characteristics
of the Accelabar versus other
flow meters based on the
following flow conditions:
