Meters meet your most demanding requirements With the Waveform oval gear 2003 patent meter accuracy is better than ever before Our meters are used in batching blending process control and to dispense fluids in liquid handling facilities throughout the World Service includes gasohol blends bio diesel and special formulation racing fuels Principle of Operation Positive Displacement meters have a measuring chamber where inlet amp outlet are separated by rotors a rotating ele ment or sliding vanes As the liquid passes through the flow meter it causes the rotors element vanes to turn which forms the basis for volumetric measurement The Oval Gear metering principle is based on two elliptical oval gears which turn on center on two horizontal shafts inside a measuring chamber formed by two overlapping cyl inders The oval gears have meshing teeth along their en tire circumference ensuring that the gears will maintain cor rect position in relation to each other at all times without the use of timing gears The volume being transferred from the e inlet to the outlet side volume meas AN A ured forms between the oval gear 92 and the side of the measuring cham F ber alternately in the upper and the lower half of the measuring chamber In a full 360 rotation of the gears four such known volumes are released to the downstream side of the flow meter With precision machining and close in
