Abstract
A modular removable flow metering assembly for a unidirectional fluid channel having three variations. Each embodiment can use a compact fluid conduit for connecting an upstream fluid flow to a downstream fluid flow. An embodiment uses a unitary dual measurement container having an upstream port opening opposite to a downstream port. The upstream port communicates with an upstream fluid channel with an upstream pressure. The downstream port communicates with a downstream fluid channel having a downstream pressure. A cone shaped differential pressure producer with a flared discharge end is in fluid communication with the downstream fluid channel. A manifold can fluidly connect the upstream and downstream fluid channels, and a customer connection device can receive the upstream pressure and downstream pressure.
