Positive displacement flow sensors Gearwheel type flow sensors record volume flows of liquids with both high and changing viscosities. The high-precision sensors work according to the displacement principle. The high resolution combined with reliable measurement accuracy make the sensors especially useful for applications involving the measurement of small and very small volumes. In principle, the measurement accuracy is increased for high viscosities. Conversely, the measurement accuracy is lower with a viscosity of less than mm²/s. Due to their construction, gearwheel type flow sensors require a certain lubricity of the fluid beeing measured. Operation with non-lubricating media, e.g. water, is not possible. Applications Consumption measurement Control of filling operations Dosage of oils and chemicals Flow measurement of paints and varnishes Ratio control of polyol and isocyanate Principle of operation A very precisely adjusted gear pair within the casing forms the measuring element. The inflowing medium causes the gear pair to rotate. The rotary motion is scanned by contactless sensors. Since each individual tooth generates a pulse, this results in a very high resolution. Consequently, even the smallest volumes can be measured or dosed precisely. The measurement unit contains two pick-offs that are circumferentially offset by ¼ of a tooth pitch to generate a channel flow-proportional frequency signal. Suitable processing of the signal provides an greater resolution and the option to identify the flow direction. The maximum pressure drop should not exceed 1 bar. This limits the measurement range of high viscosity media (see pressure drop diagrams). Basically, the measurement accuracy increases with increase in viscosity of the media. 3 5 1 Housing bottom Housing cover 3 Gear wheels Pre-amplifier 5 Connection plug Pick-offs 7 Bearing 1 Measurement chamber 7 15
