Oval Gear Flow Meters
Oval Gear Flow Meters for Process Applications
For flow applications involving viscous liquids (oils, lubricants, gels, paints, polymers, and other higher-viscosity liquids), oval gear flow meters can be an ideal metering solution for your process. Oval gear meters provide a compact meter footprint with no flow conditioning required, making them perfect solutions for a wide range of viscosity solutions across industries.
At Cross Company’s Process Solutions group, we take the time to understand how your process works, any constraints to metering, and the needs your metering solutions serve. We combine that knowledge with our strategic partnerships with industry-leading manufacturers to provide the best oval gear or other metering solution to our customers every time.

Benefits of Using Oval Gear Metering Solutions
There are a number of benefits to utilizing oval gear flow meters in your flow control/measurement application. Some of these benefits include
High reading accuracy and repeatability
Lower maintenance requirements than many alternatives
Suitable for a variety of fluids (from water to high-viscous fluids)
No flow conditioning, ease of installation, lower intrusion
High turn-down ratios and robust design
Viscosity doesn't impact reading accuracy
Typical Applications for Oval Gear Flow Meters
Due to their construction, solid media can present problems as it can become entangled in the oval gears of the meter. But in applications without significant solids, oval gear meters support superior design flexibility through removing the need for flow conditioning. When used optimally, oval gear meters offer stable performance, long-term accuracy, and high application flexibility. They have durable corrosion and shock-resistant coverings, allowing for use in harsh environments.
These benefits allow for a great deal of application flexibility. We’ve seen oval gear flow meter success in chemical applications, petroleum-based fluid applications, and even low flow water applications that can’t use turbine meters due to low flow velocities.
It’s important that the nature of the application be considered when determining the correct flow meter for installation. That’s why it’s so important to work with experts like Cross who understand your industry, application, and operation.
