Tri Gear Flow Meter

Introduction

Tri-gear Flowmeters are precise, reliable and rugged instruments for the volumetric flow of liquids in general industrial, petroleum and chemical applications that require high degrees of accuracy and repeatability. They operate on the Positive Displacement principle using advanced gear technology and offer a competitive alternative to their Oval Gear, Sliding Vane and Bi-Rotor alternatives.

Operation Principal

Liquid Passes into the single case measuring chamber and displaces two Trigears. Each rotation of a Tri-gear is proportional to a discrete unit of volume, in turn, the speed at which the gears rotate is directly proportional to flowrate. Reed and Hall Effect sensors mounted outside the pressure boundary detect the movement of the Tri-gears, thus allowing local or remote instruments to display flow total, rate of flow or facilitate batching applications.

Meters can be fitted with additional sensors to provide in phase or out of phase signals for applications such as bidirectional flow.
