Oil flow meters are instruments used to measure the flow of liquid oil. There are many types of oil flow meters. They can be divided into many types according to different measurement principles and structures. So what are the types of oil flow meters? Here are some common oil flow meter types:

 

 

Oval gear flow meter: This flow meter uses two elliptical gears to rotate with each other in the measuring tube to continuously divide the fluid into individual known volume parts, and discharge the fluid to the outlet in turn. The fluid flow rate is calculated by measuring the number of rotations. . It has high measurement accuracy and is suitable for measuring high viscosity oil products.

 

 

Waist wheel flow meter: The waist wheel flow meter is also called Roots flow meter. Its working principle is similar to the oval gear flow meter. It measures the fluid flow through the rotation of the waist wheel. It is suitable for measuring the flow of various clean and low-viscosity liquids, and is especially suitable for measuring the flow of larger diameters.

 

Electromagnetic flow meter: Electromagnetic flowmeter uses Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction to measure flow, and is suitable for flow measurement of conductive liquids. Its advantage is that it has high measurement accuracy and is less affected by fluid temperature, pressure, density, viscosity and other parameters. It is widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, textile, food, pharmaceutical and other industries.

 

 

Turbine flow meter: Turbine flow meter drives the turbine to rotate through the fluid, and measures the flow rate based on the relationship between the rotation speed and the fluid flow rate. It has the characteristics of high measurement accuracy, good repeatability, and fast response speed, and is suitable for measuring clean, low-viscosity, fiber-free liquid flow.

 

 

Ultrasonic flow meter: Ultrasonic flow meter calculates the flow rate by measuring the time difference of ultrasonic waves propagating in the fluid. It has the advantages of non-contact measurement, wide measurement range, and high accuracy. It is suitable for measuring the flow rate of various clean liquids, especially when the pipe diameter is large and it is difficult to install a traditional flow meter.

 

 

In addition to the above common oil flow meters, there are also other types of flow meters such as Coriolis mass flow meters, channel flow meters, etc. These flow meters can provide accurate flow measurement according to specific application environments and needs. When selecting an oil flow meter, comprehensive considerations need to be made based on factors such as specific measurement purposes, fluid characteristics, installation space, accuracy requirements, and cost performance.
