What Is an Oil Flow Meter?
An oil flow meter is an instrument used to accurately measure the flow rate of oil and other liquid substances.
This device functions by detecting physical changes in the fluid’s flow, enabling precise measurements of both the speed and volume of the liquid as it moves through a system. It is particularly useful in industrial settings, compatible with various types of oils like lubricating and machine oils. Factories and manufacturing sites use it for managing the supply and discharge of oil and liquids. In power plants, it plays a crucial role in monitoring the oil flow in engines and generators.
Different types of oil flow meters include the piston type, which measures flow through the movement of a piston and rotating gears, and the turbine type, which calculates flow based on the rotation of a turbine inside the flow pipe.
