First Claim
Patent Images
1. A flow meter, comprising:
- a first coupling configured to couple to an inlet from a flow stream at one end and to one side of a meter element at another end;
a second coupling configured to couple at one end to an outlet to the flow stream and to the other side of the meter element at another end thereof;
a meter element disposed between the first and second couplings, the meter element configured to generate a pressure drop in flowing fluid related to a flow rate of the fluid through the meter element, the meter element having metal to metal sealing surfaces for engagement with corresponding sealing surfaces on the respective ends of the first and second couplings.

Abstract
A flow meter includes a first coupling configured to couple to an inlet from a flow stream at one end and to one side of a meter element at another end. A second coupling is configured to couple at one end to an outlet to the flow stream and to the other side of the meter element at another end thereof. The meter element is disposed between the first and second couplings. The meter element is configured to generate a pressure drop in flowing fluid related to a flow rate of the fluid through the meter element. The meter element has metal to metal sealing surfaces for engagement with corresponding sealing surfaces on the respective ends of the first and second couplings.
