PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The product enters the Flow Meter through the manifold inlet & causes the rotor to revolve by pressure on the vane blades. The proximity of the rotor to the body forms an efficient seal, whilst the profile of the body ensures that the vane blades are guided through the measuring crescent. The vane blades divide the liquid into segments & each revolution of the rotor displaces four such segments.
Product at line pressure also fills the spaces between the inner & outer end covers so that the inner end covers which form the measuring chamber get 'pressure balanced' & are prevented from distortion due to line pressure.
The rotor spindle transmits the drive through a pressure tight lip seal in the Meter front cover to the Calibrating Mechanism or the Pulse Transmitter which calibrates the Meter output for a corrected Counter readout. All mechanical Flow Meters are fitted with Veeder Root Mechanical Counters.
