What is the Working Principle of Gear Flow Meter?
A gear flow meter operates on the principle of positive displacement, meaning it measures flow by capturing and releasing a fixed amount of fluid in discrete portions.
Overview
Features
Pressure Rating: Designed to operate at a pressure of 2.5MPa (25 bar or 362.5 psi), making it suitable for high-pressure applications.
Measurement Principle: Utilizes a pair of oval-shaped gears that rotate inside a chamber. The rotation of the gears displaces a known volume of fluid with each turn, allowing for precise measurement.
Accuracy: Provides high accuracy, often within ±0.5% to ±1% of the reading, making it ideal for applications requiring precise flow measurement.
Versatility: Can handle a wide range of fluids, including viscous, corrosive, and non-conductive liquids.
Suitable for various industries such as chemical processing, petroleum, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals.
Construction Materials: Available in a range of materials to suit different fluid properties and operating environments, including stainless steel, aluminum, and plastic.
Temperature Range: Capable of operating within a wide temperature range, depending on the construction materials used.
Output Options: Provides various output options including mechanical counters, pulse outputs, and digital displays for integration with control systems.
