Oval gear flow meters are designed to function in specific applications that require accurate volume measurement of high-viscosity fluids. Some of the more common uses for oval gear flow meters include shampoos, sugar solutions, and antifreeze applications. They offer stable performance and long-term accuracy, making them a great choice for these and other similar needs.

Viscosity is the magnitude of internal friction of the liquid; the higher it is, the more it will resist proper flowing. Our oval gear flow meters will help ensure accurate readings and can measure the flow of liquids with a viscosity up to 100,000 cPs or even higher.

Choosing the proper flow meter is critical, especially when it comes to dealing with high viscosity fluids. What works for water will not work for lubricants, syrups, or gels. Contact us today and our engineers will be happy to walk you through the process of choosing the right oval gear flow meter.
