Specially used for the measurement of viscosity products like fat, oil, etc. They offer high accuracy and allow measurement of low flows.
For its application is necessary to have a minimum line pressure due to operation by friction gears cause considerable loss.
SENSOTEC INSTRUMENTS offer flow meters with oval wheels for pipes form DN10 to DN100.
The more common models are EPI, in plastic and suitable for low flows from 0,05 l/,min and the series OM (OM15, .. OM50 … OM100).
