SCS Prover ®

The patented SCS Prover ® demands the highest performance and most accurate results

from liquid meters. A uniquely designed Straight Calibrated Section allows the sphere to

move smoothly through the calibrated section without disrupting the flow. The SCS Prover®

is cost-efficient and easy to service. Expert design meets precise fabrication. WFMS ensures

quality, accuracy, and repeatability in every prove with the SCS Prover ®.
