The TORUS Water Meter

The TORUS Water Meter (TWM) has no moving parts and the operating principle is based on basic laws of physics. Its flow contoured robust design will withstand extreme weather conditions with practically no influence of debris in the flow stream. Meter allows direct mount instrumentation on the meter, installed between two mating flanges with 5D upstream and 2D downstream straight run and has no restriction of meter orientation.


The TWM offers flow rate measurement at a low cost of ownership and negligible operational expense or periodic inspection. A specially designed TWM can be retrofitted into an existing orifice meter-type differential pressure flow measurement system with dual or single chamber fitting. To learn more, click here.

The CENTER-TAP TORUS Orifice Plate

The CENTER-TAP TORUS Orifice Plate is the newest addition to the TORUS line of products.  Created as a replacement device for the standard orifice plate, it allows customers to easily retrofit their orifice flange unions with a new TCT OP. 

 

This new device works for all sizes, types of process, pressure, flow rates and temperatures and was designed for Oil and Gas, well produced water, steam, chemicals and refined products.  With the increased longevity, accuracy, repeatability, lower cost for installation and maintenance, the TCT OP provides a simple solution for better measurement.
