Oval Gear Chemical Flow Meters

Oval Gear Chemical Flowmeters (OM series)

The Oval Gear Chemical Flow Meters from Flomec offers accurate volumetric flow measurement of a broad range of clean water-based products and aggressive chemicals. The Flowmeters are also suitable for most fuels, fuel oils, and lubricating liquids.

More advantages:

Direct volumetric reading, which gives high accuracy and repeatability
Measures liquids both of high and low viscosity
No requirements for flow conditioning

High accuracy and repeatability

The Oval gear meter is a precise positive displacement flowmeter incorporating a pair of
oval geared rotors. The meter is, therefore, independent of viscosity and density, which means that the same high accuracy is obtained regardless of changes in the physical parameters.

These meters can be used in gravity-fed application because of the high accuracy oval gear technology with low pressure drop.

Monitoring for precision

Oval Gear flowmeters are available as blind meters with a pulse signal output capable of
interfacing to most monitoring and control instrumentation.
Or the meter can be fitted with instruments such as totalizers, rate totalizers or batch controllers.

These instruments also have monitoring and control output options including 4-20mA, scaled pulse, flow-rate
alarms and batch control logic (preset metering).

Typical Applications

These PPS Flowmeters are used for;

Non-aromatic/non-halogenated organic chemicals
Water-based liquids
Diesel Exhaust Fluid
Petroleum
Strong acids
Oxidizers.

Choose the right Flowmeter

The Oval Gear Meters use a measuring principle, where a pair of oval-shaped gears in a measuring chamber rotate by the force of the liquid on these. The liquid flows into a chamber and is sealed off once the chamber is full and produces either an electronic pulse or drives a gear to register the volume as it exits the chamber.

As illustrated in the example on the right, the pulse is generated because the (green) liquid is sealed from both the inlet (red liquid) and exit (blue liquid). This set up would produce four pulses as the meter transmits four identical volumes for every cycle.

Thus, it matters which Flowmeter you choose; because the simplest meters register each time a bucket is filled. Here the total volume would be the sum of the number of buckets filled. In the complex meters the discrete volumes passed each time can be summed together to see the overall volume passing through the meter.

The Oval Gear Chemical Flowmeters has ceramic rotor pins as a standard, which makes it suitable for purposes where it does not suit or is permitted to use stainless steel.

Furthermore, the blind pulse meters are available with Reed Switch and Hall Effect outputs. You also have the option of quadrature pulse and integral 4-20mA outputs.

This means, that it can be used to either have dual resolution of the heart rate signal or as a backup.

Additionally, there is a wide selection of different LCD display types associated with this series, so you can get a display of the values for instantaneous flow (eg l / h or m³ / h) and total flow (eg l or m³).

You also have the option to get a traditional mechanical display.
