Specification

Product Overview

The Cast Steel Oval Gear Flow Meter is a positive displacement flow meter designed for high-accuracy liquid flow measurement. By measuring a fixed volume of liquid during each gear rotation, it provides reliable and repeatable flow measurement for a wide range of industrial applications.

Although traditional mechanical models have been widely used for many years, modern versions are commonly equipped with LCD displays and digital signal outputs for easier integration into industrial automation systems.


Why Choose the Cast Steel Oval Gear Flow Meter?

Selecting a positive displacement flow meter is beneficial when accurate volumetric measurement is required. The Cast Steel Oval Gear Flow Meter offers the following advantages:

  • High-precision positive displacement measurement
  • Excellent repeatability for stable long-term performance
  • Multiple housing materials available for different applications
  • Various display and output options for automation systems
  • Compact structure for easy installation and maintenance
  • Suitable for high-pressure operating conditions
  • Supports centralized monitoring and industrial control systems
  • Customizable versions for special operating environments
  • Optional insertion type for large-diameter pipelines with low pressure loss

Working Principle

The flow meter consists of a precision metering chamber containing a pair of oval gears.

As liquid flows through the meter, the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet causes the oval gears to rotate. Each complete rotation traps and transfers a fixed volume of liquid within the crescent-shaped chamber. The total flow volume is calculated from the number of gear rotations multiplied by the displacement volume of each rotation, providing accurate volumetric flow measurement.
