Expanded Flow Measurement Product Line Available

Armstrong is excited to announce the expansion of its flow measurement product line. The addition of vortex meters, orifice plates, Venturi tubes, wedge meters, and flow nozzles augments our current flow measurement solutions.

Each of these flow meter products will demonstrate the same quality and excellence delivered by the VERIS Flow Measurement Group over the years. These new flow elements will allow the application of Armstrong flow devices in instances where the VERIS Verabar^® or VERIS Accelabar^® were ill-equipped due to line size, fluid type, process parameters, or design specification. Technical support for all flow measurement products will continue to be handled through the VERIS Flow Measurement Group. Contact VERIS Flow Measurement Group if you have any questions.
