A circular gear flow meter, also known as an oval gear flow meter, operates based on the principle of measuring the volumetric flow rate of a fluid passing through the meter.
Here how it works:
The principle of operation is very similar in nature to that of an oval gear meter and other positive displacement type variations. Liquid is trapped through voids as it passes through the mechanism. Each void is precision designed to trap an equal amount of liquid.
What kind of applications is the circular gear meter popular in?
Circular gear flow meters are widely used in various industries where accurate measurement of liquid flow rates is essential. Some of the industries where circular gear flow meters are commonly employed include:
- Oil and Gas
- Chemical Processing
- Food and Beverage
- Pharmaceuticals
- Pulp and Paper
- Automotive
- Aerospace
- Mining
- Power Generation
These industries use circular gear flow meters because they are appropriate for measuring both viscous and non-viscous liquids, provide accurate flow measurement across a broad range of flow rates, and have robust repeatability.
The advantages of using Circular Gear Meter
- High Accuracy
- Wide range of measurement from very low to high flow rates.
- Versatility to handle viscous and non-viscous fluids.
- Repeatability
- Minimal pressure drops
- Direct management
- Compact size
- Suitable for various industries
- Longevity and can withstand the harsh environment, temperature and pressures.
