An oval gear flow meter is a positive displacement flow meter used for measuring liquid flow in industrial applications. It works by passing liquid through a measuring chamber where oval gears rotate with the flow. As a result, it is useful for oil, fuel, diesel, lubricants and many viscous liquid applications.
TIPL offers oval gear flow meter solutions for plants that need reliable liquid measurement where positive displacement technology is suitable. These meters are commonly considered for fuel handling, oil transfer, chemical dosing, batching and process liquid monitoring. Therefore, users should select the meter based on liquid type, viscosity, flow range, pressure, temperature and output requirement.
Unlike velocity-based flow meters, a positive displacement meter measures liquid in defined volumes. Moreover, it can be suitable for many applications where viscosity is higher and stable volumetric measurement is required. However, users should check fluid cleanliness, pressure drop, compatibility and maintenance access before final selection.

Some liquid applications need stable volumetric measurement even when the liquid is more viscous than water. For example, fuel oil, diesel, lubricating oil and selected chemicals may not always be ideal for every flow meter technology. Therefore, oval gear technology can be a practical choice where positive displacement measurement is suitable.
In addition, this type of meter can support batching, transfer and consumption monitoring applications. Since the measuring principle is based on defined liquid volumes, it can provide useful measurement for many plant utility and process applications. However, the liquid should be compatible with the meter material and should not damage the measuring gears.
An oval gear meter is useful when the liquid is suitable for positive displacement measurement and the application needs stable volumetric flow reading. It is often considered for oil, fuel and viscous liquid applications where turbine or magnetic flow technologies may not be the best fit.
However, final selection should depend on the process condition. Users should review viscosity, liquid cleanliness, operating pressure, temperature, flow rate, chemical compatibility and pressure drop before choosing this technology.
Correct selection starts with the liquid. First, identify the fluid type and viscosity. Next, check the minimum, normal and maximum flow rate. After that, review pressure, temperature, connection size, material compatibility and output signal requirement.
