Kent / AMCO / Elster
Positive Displacement
Oil Meters

from watermeters.com and oilmeters.com




For low flow oil measuring, our Kent / AMCO / Elster positive displacement oil meters are the most suitable device. The ring piston principle offers very high accuracy (within 1%) with a wide flow range. Viscosity and density do not influence the measuring operation and accuracy, this meter is accurate from kerosene to #2, #4, or #6 fuel oil. The round measuring chamber has a flow barrier, even the slightest flow is detected with a spinning star. The ring piston is guided in a circular motion on its central spindle. The outer surface of the oscillating piston rolls around the inside of the measuring chamber. The inside of the piston rolls around the round center guide. This movement creates a change in the volume of the two fluid-containing areas.
(Outside = V - 1; Inside = V - 2). Due to their accuracy and dependability we have customers using these meters on semiprecious oils at a meter cost a fraction of the competition.

The entry port is on the bottom of the measuring chamber and to the left of the flow barrier. The outlet port is on the right side of the barrier. The entering liquid feeds the inside and outside chambers. When both chambers are full, the ring piston moves around and discharges the liquid into the exit port.

Each cycle moves a constant volume from entry to the exit ports. The rotation of the oscillating ring piston's movement is transmitted with a magnetic coupling to the hermetically sealed counter assembly.

The Kent / AMCO / Elster oil meters are available both straight (direct) reading and with pulse contact registers for remote reading, data acquisition or control. They are available in pipe sizes from 1/4" to 2" and flow ranges from .25 gallons per HOUR for the 1/4" to 133 gallons per MINUTE for the 2" size. The meters come complete with couplings or flanges depending on the size ordered. In stock orders are shipped within 24 hours. These meters are accurate within 1%.
