Oftentimes in municipal flow applications, utilities and districts opt for a propeller meter, an electromagnetic (mag) meter, or another type of “no moving parts” meter like an ultrasonic device. However, there are instances in which a differential pressure (DP) meter is a more attractive option and, specifically, the VM V-Cone, McCrometer’s DP meter designed for a wide variety of municipal flow applications.

An advanced gas detection system from ABB has helped restore gas supplies to the flooded Ahr Valley in Germany. The vehicle mounted system uses lasers to rapidly detect gas leaks, allowing quick restoration of supplies to residents.

Restoring it before the winter was a major priority, particularly in the city of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, one of the worst-hit towns.
