Oval Gear Flow Meter
The oval gear flow meter is a positive displacement (PD) flow measurement device designed for precise volumetric measurement of liquids, especially high-viscosity and low-flow-rate media.
By mechanically trapping and transferring fixed volumes of fluid, the meter provides stable and repeatable measurement independent of flow profile, pressure, or fluid conductivity.
Instrava oval gear flow meters are engineered for industrial applications requiring high accuracy, strong repeatability, and reliable performance under changing process conditions, including viscous, lubricating, or chemically aggressive fluids.

Why are oval gear flow meters suitable for high-viscosity liquids?
Oval gear flow meters operate on the positive displacement principle, mechanically transferring fixed fluid volumes. This makes them highly insensitive to viscosity changes, allowing stable and accurate measurement of heavy oils, resins, polymers, and other high-viscosity media.
How does an oval gear flow meter perform at low flow rates?
Unlike velocity-based meters, oval gear flow meters maintain excellent accuracy at low flow rates because each gear rotation represents a fixed volume. This makes them ideal for low-flow dosing, batching, and precision transfer applications.
How is pulse output used in oval gear flow measurement systems?
Pulse output provides a direct digital representation of volumetric flow, where each pulse corresponds to a defined volume. This enables precise totalizing, batching, and easy integration with PLC, DCS, and industrial automation systems.
Does pressure fluctuation affect measurement accuracy?
No. Because oval gear flow meters measure actual displaced volume, their accuracy is largely unaffected by pressure changes or flow profile disturbances, provided the system operates within the rated pressure range.
Can oval gear flow meters be used for intermittent or start-stop flow?
Yes. Oval gear flow meters are well suited for intermittent, pulsating, or start-stop flow conditions, as the mechanical displacement principle ensures accurate totalization even during unstable flow patterns.
What maintenance considerations apply to pulse-output oval gear flow meters?
Maintenance is minimal when measuring clean, lubricating liquids. Periodic inspection focuses on gear wear and signal stability, especially in high-viscosity applications, ensuring long-term measurement reliability.
