Overview-Oval gear Flow meter

Oval Gear Flow Meters can be used in a wide range of media applications and are designed for clean process fluids. No flow conditioning allows for superior design flexibility. Maintenance is minimal and changing viscosities do not affect meter accuracy. The cost of ownership can be very attractive compared to other flow technologies while providing highly accurate and repeatable results. Oval Gear Meters are mechanical meters and should not be used in fluids with non-soluble particulate. This is a liquids only meter – gases are not suitable.

Oval gear flow meter Principle

The oval gear flow meter comprises oval-shaped, geared rotors that rotate within a housing of specified geometry. Fluid differential pressure causes the intermeshing gears to rotate, trapping a ‘pocket’ of fluid between the gear and the outer housing and subsequently emptying the fluid pocket into the downstream flow.
Capillary action of the metered fluid forms a liquid seal. Each ‘pocket’ holds a precise and known volume of fluid so counting the pocket frequency gives a measurement of the volumetric flow rate. This is typically achieved by embedding magnets in the rotors, which then actuate a reed switch or provide a pulse output as they rotate.
