Working Principle
Liquid passes into the single case measuring chamber and displaces two tri-gears. Each rotation of a tri-gear is proportional to a discrete unit of volume, in turn, the speed at which the gears rotate is directly proportional to flowrate. Reed and Hall Effect sensors mounted outside the pressure boundary detect the movement of the tri-gears, thus allowing local or remote instruments to display flow total, rate of flow or facilitate batching applications.
- Less than 50% slippage than oval gear/piston
- 33% less pressure drop, smoother & quieter than oval gear fm, less vibration
