When your business is built on measuring with accuracy and reliability, you naturally set high standards for your critical suppliers. And when you’re faced with finding suppliers who produce large machined components without the scheduling, logistics, and coordination issues that can cost both time and money, your options are fairly limited. 

A company from the northeast which has become respected producer of venturi flow meters for municipal water utilities, has developed a reputation for providing some of the best flow meters in the industry. Along with that distinction comes steady demand and customers who expect them to deliver.

It didn’t take long for to realize that Calco was the ideal solution for managing both the castings and the machining of the large iron components required for the enormous meters. The meters range in size from 2,000 to 15,000 lbs. in both one- and two-piece designs. We supply the machined components, which include simple flange faces and bolt holes, and some of the more critical machine dimensions that provide the predictable precision performance framework for the proper function of the flow meters.

The value to a manufacturer of large equipment isn’t limited to providing large machined components. There’s also value and reduced cost in the coordination of patterns, castings, and machining with one vendor.

We have a long history of meeting the needs of the municipal water industry for large iron components for valves, pumps, and flow meters.
