Need to measure flow of oil at high pressure!!
Need to measure flow of oil at high pressure!!
(OP)
Hi all,
I have an application where I need to measure oil of about 1000 centipoise, through a 1/4" pipe. The pressure is roughly 450bar and I have calculated the flow rates to be in the region of 3 to 3.6 litres/min.
I have been looking at oval geared meters but can only find ones that go upto 50bar!!
The viscosity is way to high for a turbine meter, and the budget I have been give is know where near high enough for a coriolis meter.
A 0-10v or a 4-20mA output as well as a local display is required.
oh.. forgot to mention the temperature is roughly 80C.
Any help would be appreciated!

You should take a look at this specialist UK flow measurement forum thread on QZONE

We found a model for a similar application from Bell Flow and it is cheap as chips.
good Luck

the high pressure will operate to 420bar, according to the brochure but perhaps they can supply a unit for even higher pressures?

I ended up speaking to Bell Flow Systems and have now got one of these on order
htt
with a display that will give me the local reading and a 4-20mA ouput which is great news.
They were very helpfull and hopefully a solution should be installed soon
Thanks.
