How does a dual-rotor flow meter work? What fluids is it suitable for?
View Answer
<p>A dual-rotor flow meter is a positive displacement (PD) meter. Two meshing helical rotors form sealed measuring chambers with the housing; fluid flow drives the rotors, and each revolution displaces a fixed volume, enabling precise totalization.</p><p>Key traits: high accuracy (±0.2%R~±0.5%R), insensitive to viscosity changes — ideal for diesel, heavy fuel oil, lubricants and chemical liquids, including custody transfer.</p>
Does a dual-rotor flow meter need straight pipe runs?
View Answer
<p>No. As a positive displacement meter, measurement is independent of flow profile, so <strong>no upstream/downstream straight runs are required</strong> — a clear advantage over velocity-type meters (turbine, vortex).</p><p>Installation tips: 1) Install a filter (100-200 mesh) upstream to protect rotors; 2) Horizontal or vertical mounting allowed, follow flow arrow; 3) For high-viscosity fluids in winter, heat tracing prevents rotor stalling; 4) Flush new pipelines before installing the meter.</p>
Why are oval gear flow meters ideal for high-viscosity fluids?
View Answer
<p>Oval gear meters are classic positive displacement devices: two oval gears driven by differential pressure rotate and displace a fixed volume per revolution. Accuracy correlates with lubricity and is only weakly affected by viscosity — <strong>higher viscosity means less slip and better accuracy</strong>, which makes them ideal for diesel, heavy fuel oil, crude oil and resins.</p><p>Typical accuracy ±0.2%R~±0.5%R; widely used for marine bunkering, depot loading and chemical batching.</p>
Roots (waist-wheel) vs oval gear flow meter — what is the difference and how to choose?
View Answer
<p>Both are positive displacement meters; the key differences are rotor design and operating characteristics:</p><p>1) <strong>Rotor structure</strong>: Roots rotors are two-lobe, non-meshing, driven by external timing gears — no tooth contact, minimal wear, ideal for long-term high accuracy; oval gears mesh directly and are simpler; 2) <strong>Rangeability</strong>: Roots meters offer wider turndown (typically 1:20+) and better low-flow performance; 3) <strong>Fluid fit</strong>: Roots versions exist for gas (fuel gas/biogas), while oval gears are mostly for liquids.</p><p>Selection: gas metering → Roots gas type; high-viscosity oils → both work, prefer Roots for long service life.</p>
