The OM015 (1/2"), OM025 (1"), OM040 (1.1/2") and OM050 (2") make up Flomec's OM Medium range of Oval Gear flowmeters which cover the most common fuel, coolant and lubricating applications. Oval gear flowmeters are positive displacement, giving them independence to changes in viscosity. This makes them ideal for transferring, metering, measuring or batching diesels & fuel oil, lubricating oils (mineral, synthetic or ester (Skydrol/Hyjet) based) or water/glycol mixes, along with a wide range of chemicals such as Methanol, glycerine, vegetable oil, colourants etc.
The rotation of Flomecs Oval profile gears produces an output signal via either a Hall effect device or a reed switch, the latter allowing operation in hazardous areas and with battery powered displays to give stand-alone monitoring. Other options include higher temperatures up to 150oC and quadrature, giving the ability to tell the direction of the fluid, making them ideal for cylinder or valve position sensing. Flomec also has an option for a high viscosity gear design allowing the measurement liquids up to many thousands of cPs (cSt).
