FAQ's of Mechanical Oil Flow Meter:
Q: How is the Mechanical Oil Flow Meter installed in a fluid system?
A: This flow meter is equipped with BSP threaded female inlet and outlet of 1 inch (25 mm) diameter for easy inline mounting in fluid pipelines, which enables seamless connection with standard industrial fittings.
Q: What types of media can be measured using this flow meter?
A: The meter is optimized for use with oil, diesel, and kerosene, supporting a viscosity up to 1000 mPas, making it ideal for various fuel and oil handling applications.
Q: When should the manual reset knob be used, and how does it function?
A: The manual reset knob is used to zero the mechanical counter display before starting a new batch or operation, ensuring accurate volume tracking for each session. Simply turn the knob to reset the digits.
Q: Where is this flow meter most effectively utilized?
A: It is best suited for industrial environments including fuel distribution, manufacturing, and service stations in India, particularly where electronic power sources may be unavailable or impractical.
Q: What is the process for taking readings from the flow meter?
A: Readings are directly visible on the mechanical counter display, which provides clear measurement up to 999999.9 liters, with a resolution of 0.1 L. No auxiliary equipment is needed-just observe the digits during or after flow.
Q: What are the main benefits of using a mechanical oil flow meter with an oval gear mechanism?
A: This meter delivers high accuracy (1%), does not require external power, and is highly durable due to its robust construction. The oval gear design ensures precise measurement even with variable viscosity fluids.
Q: Are there any limitations to its environmental operating conditions?
A: The device is rated IP55 for protection, can function in temperatures from -10C to +50C, and humidity up to 85% RH, but should not be used in areas where pressures exceed 3 bar or in highly corrosive atmospheres.
