VERIS Accelabar®
– A Superior Idea in Flow Measurement
The Unique VERIS Accelabar®
Flow
Meter
The VERIS Accelabar®
is a unique flow meter that
combines two differential pressure technologies to
produce performance never before attainable in a
single flow meter.
is capable of measuring gases,
liquids, and steam at previously unattainable flow rate
turndowns—with no straight run requirements.
How the VERIS Accelabar®
Works
The VERIS Accelabar® combines a unique toroidal
nozzle design with the VERIS Verabar® averaging pitot
tube.
The nozzle’s patented “settling distance” design
accelerates, linearizes, and stabilizes the fluid’s velocity
profile. The VERIS Verabar® located within the nozzle
then accurately measures that velocity profile.
The nozzle also significantly increases the differential
pressure output, thus increasing the operating range
(turndown) of the VERIS Accelabar®.
The VERIS Accelabar® has a linear flow coefficient with
an accuracy of up to ±0.50%.
No Straight Run Required
can be used in extremely
limited straight run piping configurations. All necessary
straight run is integral to the meter. The stabilization
and linearization of the velocity profile within the throat
of the nozzle eliminates the need for any upstream or
downstream pipe runs.
US Patent No. 6,868,741 B2 and various foreign patents pending.
VERIS Verabar®
Provides the Accuracy
The proven
technology of the
VERIS Verabar®
makes the VERIS Accelabar®
work.
It accurately measures the flow rate within the nozzle.
Its unique bullet shape, constant flow coefficient, solid
one-piece construction, non-clog design and signal
stability make it the only design capable of producing
the overall performance.

VERIS Accelabar®
– Test Data
Verified Accuracy and Flow
Coefficients
Empirical test data from an independent laboratory
verified the VERIS Accelabar’s flow coefficient (K)
as constant and independent of Reynolds Number.
The flow coefficient remained within a ±0.5% error
band regardless of upstream flow disturbances, thus
validating the assertion: zero straight run required.
Results
Comparing the two tests shown below reveals that
K values remain within ±0.5% of each other and
within ±0.5% of the predicted value. This holds true
regardless of upstream piping configurations that skew
and distort the fluid’s flow profile.

VERIS Accelabar®
– Actual Application Performance
Application 1:
is used to sub-meter
distributed steam in a district energy grid. The VERIS
Accelabar’s ability to measure reliably at low flow
conditions proves advantageous against other meter
technologies.
Application 2:
is used to meter gas flow to
heaters that vaporize LNG to gaseous natural gas for
use during peak periods in the winter season. The
VERIS Accelabar®
was the only solution able to meet
installation, turndown, and reliability requirements.
Application:
4” Sch STD Saturated
Steam
Flowing Pressure/Temp: 75 PSIG/320°F
Max/Min Flow Rate: 3900 lbm/hr / 265 lbm/hr
Flow Turndown: 15:1
Application: 3” Sch 40 Natural Gas
Flowing Pressure/Temp: 80 PSIG/70°F
Max/Min Flow Rate:
60,000 SCFH / 1,000
SCFH
Flow Turndown: 60:1
The VERIS Accelabar’s Advantage vs. Other Flow Meters
is able to overcome the limitations of
other flow meters in applications that:
• Do not have sufficient fluid velocity to produce a readable
signal or generate adequate turndown
• Require ±0.5% accuracy over a large range of flow rates
• Have limited or no straight piping runs before the meter’s
installation point
Typical performance characteristics of the VERIS Accelabar®
exceed those of traditional differential pressure, vortex, and
other flow meter technologies.
