Positive Displacement Flow Meter and Switches

Positive Displacement Flow Meter and Switches

Positive displacement flow meters measure the volume of liquids passing through the meter by trapping successive volumes in discrete chambers. This method ensures highly accurate and repeatable measurements, making these meters ideal for precise quantification of flow rates. Their design allows for measurement of viscous liquids.

The strength of positive displacement flow meters lies in their ability to maintain accuracy over a wide range of flow rates and viscosities, without being significantly affected by changes in the liquid properties. They are particularly suited for applications where precise volumetric control is critical, including the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and oil and gas sectors. Despite their mechanical nature, modern designs have evolved to minimize maintenance needs, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
