due to its shape, surface roughness, and low pressure port location

5 How Verabar Works Flo w Hi + - Pressure Low Pressure Low Pressure Vortices Average Velocity Flow DP High Pressure Verabar's superior performance is due to its shape, surface roughness, and low pressure port location Verabar senses and averages the natural pressures created by the velocity profile 5

6 Verabar Outperforms Other Insert Meters Velocity profiles vary with upstream pipe configuration and disturbances. Verabar ±1% Other Textbook Profile Actual Profiles ±10% Location of Average Velocity The Verabar averages the profile. Other insert meters only sense a single point. 6

Bullet Shape Sensor Generates Accurate & Trouble-Free Performance No clogging Stable signal Low drag and increased structural strength Solid one-piece construction

7 Bullet Shape Sensor Generates Accurate & Trouble-Free Performance No clogging Stable signal Low drag and increased structural strength Solid one-piece construction Vortices Frontal surface roughness lowers drag and extends accuracy range Pressure ports are forward of separation point to eliminate clogging and produce stable signal 7

8 Verabar's Non-Clog Design Low-pressure ports located on sensor sides virtually eliminate clogging and produce an extremely stable signal 8
