Precision and Reliability: Oval Gear Meters in Chemical Injection Rigs

Oval gear meters are a type of positive displacement flow meter that have been used for close to one hundred years to measure the flow of clean process fluids with high accuracy and repeatability. They are ideal for measuring low to high viscosity fluids, such as oils, fuels, solvents, and chemicals, and are widely used in the chemical, petrochemical, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.

One of the key advantages of oval gear meters is that they do not require any flow conditioning, which makes them easy to install and use. This is particularly important in chemical injection rigs, where space is often limited and flow conditioning can be difficult to achieve. Oval gear meters can be placed directly in the flow path, which simplifies installation and reduces the risk of leaks and other problems.  

Another important advantage of oval gear meters is their ability to measure accurate short injections. This is critical in chemical injection applications, where precise dosing is essential for maintaining effective and economic application rates. Oval gear meters can accurately measure small volumes of fluid, making them ideal for use in chemical injection systems. 

In addition to their accuracy and ease of use, oval gear meters are also known for their reliability and low maintenance requirements. They have a simple design with few moving parts, which reduces the risk of mechanical failure and makes them easy to repair and maintain. This is important in chemical injection rigs, where downtime can be costly and disruptive to a larger process. 

Oval gear meters are an excellent choice for chemical injection rigs due to their ability to measure accurate short injections, their ease of installation, and their reliability and low maintenance requirements.
