Gemini Differential Pressure Flow Meter

Gemini Differential
Pressure Flow Meter
Superior Performance.
Rugged Design.
Preso® Gemini
The Preso Gemini Differential Pressure Flow Meter by Badger Meter
has a cone-shaped element which shapes the flow profile ahead of the
differential pressure (DP) measurement port without impacting the
flow against a sharp surface, creating an extremely stable signal for
measurement with minimal wear on the cone edge.
How the Gemini Measures Differential Pressure
The Gemini differential pressure meter utilizes the center element to
straighten the flow and create an ideal dynamic which allows differential
pressure technology to be used in a unique way providing extensive
flexibility in a wide variety of applications.

of fluids
• Little or no
straight run
piping
requirements
• No additional
flow conditioning
devices needed
• Low maintenance
and long life
• No moving parts
• Wide flow range
• Low head loss

Gemini Software and Accessories
Preso Calculation Software.
PresoCalc, a free engineering calculator available from Badger Meter, can
help customers properly size the Gemini meter for their system or help with
sizing for any DP meter project. Our technical service group is available to
assist customers in using this software.
Differential Accessories
Badger Meter offers a wide variety of technologies to best measure and
track system parameters. Gemini can be partnered with an extensive range
of DP transmitters including Foxboro, Azbil and Honeywell. Badger Meter
also offers a complete flow metering solution by pairing the Gemini with
our in-house flow computers and totalizers.
