Oval Flow Meter
Oval Gear flow Meter
Positive Displacement Flow Meter
Oval Gear Flow Meter is one type of Positive displacement flowmeter. They operate by repeatedly filling and emptying compartments of a known volume with a liquid. The flow rate is then calculated based on the number of times these compartments are filled and emptied. Given it’s immunity to the most vicious of fluids, the oval gear flow meter is ideally suited for measurement of viscous fluids or those with varying viscosities such as oils, syrups, and fuels.

Principles:
The design of the oval gear flow meter
very simple; oval-shaped gear-toothed rotors rotate within a chamber of
specified geometry. As these rotors turn, they sweep out and trap a
very precise volume of fluid between the outer oval shape of the gears
and the inner chamber walls with none of the fluid actually passing
through the gear teeth.
Advantage
Given
it’s immunity to the most vicious of fluids, oval gear meter is ideally
suited for measurement of viscous fluids or those with varying
viscosities such as oils, syrups, and fuels.
Ease
of installation is another advantage of the oval design. Because no
straight pipe runs or flow conditioning are required, oval gear meters
can be installed in tight areas where alternate technologies would fail
Disadvantages:
Oval-gear
meters are generally not recommended for water or water-like fluids,
because of the increased risk of fluid slippage between the gears and
chamber walls. Fluids should be clean and non-corrosive, preferably
medium to high viscosity.
