The Power of Mobile Flow Meters: Accurate, Convenient, and Essential
Flow meters are crucial tools in many pumping applications —ensuring precise measurement of liquid flow, tracking usage, and supporting critical data collection. Mobile flow meters bring these capabilities to the next level, offering easy deployment and monitoring in remote or challenging environments.
Why Energy Efficiency is So Important with Pump Operation—A World Environment Day Reminder
World Environment Day, observed each year on June 5th, is a global call to action for sustainability and environmental protection. It’s a timely reminder that every choice we make—large or small—impacts our planet. One of the most significant ways to support this mission is by focusing on energy efficiency in industrial operations and pump operational efficiency is a critical component.
The first Cornell agricultural pump was introduced in 1949. Today, we offer more than 110 models for agricultural applications!
Cornell’s story began in 1946 when five employees from Pacific Pump Company decided to start their own company. With a fully equipped service department and firsthand experience repairing pump failures—including issues with motor overloading, pressure spikes, and water damage in pump-end motor bearings—they were ready to build something better. Leveraging their comprehensive inventory and manufacturing expertise, they could service any pump.
Extend the Lifespan of Your Wear Rings: How This Small Component Makes a Big Impact
