Application:
Gear flow meters are suitable for the precise flowmeasurement of various fluidsof viscosities from 5 up to 25,000 mm²/s.
Providing sufficient lubricityof thefluid, the small gear flow meters type ZHM 01/1 and 02 as well as ball bearing versions may also be used for fluids below 5 mm²/s.
For such applications special specifications apply for the low flow range and linearity. Generally, our Turbine Flow Meters, type HM, and Micro Flow Meter type LFM 10 will handle low-viscosity fluids perfectly.
Typical Applications
•Waterborne paints, clear coatings, 2-component paints, highly-filled metal paints and soft feel paints Special versions with excellent purging qualities and low pressure drop figures are available for paint applications.
•Coating wax, glues, PVC, epoxy resin, highly-filled and abrasive fluids
•Polyol- and isocyanate
•Oil and fat (also fluid food and cosmetics)
Heated versions are available on request
•Hydraulic oil
For oils without abrasive particles gear flow meters ZHM 06 and 07 are available with stainless ball-bearings
•Off-shore applications
Special meters with high-pressure connectors up to 690 bar
