Covol Oscillating Piston Flow Meters

Product catalog summary
Overview: The COVOL Series Volumetric Counters are precision instruments for liquid measurement with an accuracy of ±0.8%. Constructed from materials like EN 1.4404 (SS 316L), PVC, PP, and PTFE, they handle viscosities up to 120,000 mPas and are suitable for various applications such as filling, batching, and fuel consumption metering.
Specifications:
  • Working pressure: Compliant with PED 97/23/CE.
  • Size range: DN 10 to DN 100.
  • Temperature range: EN1.4404 (-40°C to +150°C), PTFE (-20°C to +130°C), PP (-10°C to +80°C), PVC (0°C to +45°C).
  • Pressure ratings: EN1.4404 up to PN250 on demand, PVC/PP/PTFE PN10.
Installation and Operation:
  • Mountable in any position without straight pipe sections.
  • Requires a filter before the counter to prevent damage.
  • Air separators recommended to avoid errors from air or vapor.
  • Follow A.P.I. 2534 norms to prevent cavitation.
Principle of Operation: Features an oscillating piston in an annular metering chamber, generating electric pulses via a magnet and reed switch for control equipment inputs.

Covol Oscillating Piston Flow Meters-2

By means of an oscillating piston and an annular metering The drawings show how the piston is moved by the liquid as it flows through the metering chamber. The piston contains a magnet which acts on an exterior reed switch once for each complete cycle. The electric pulses are the input for the control equipment The flow of a liquid through the COVOL volumetric counter exercises a pressure on the piston wich starts the metering In this position the liquid is filling the Technical Data • Pipe connections Standard: EN 1092-1 steel flanges for PN16 On demand: ANSI flanges, BSP threads, NPT, sanitary...

Covol Oscillating Piston Flow Meters-3

Construction Detail Cavitation should not occur in the counter, and to avoid this we must follow the A.P.I. 2534 norm, which states that "at the outlet of counters the pressure should be higher than twice the pressure loss of the counter plus 1.25 times the vapour pressure of the liquid or its most volatile component". Important: The installation of the cable between the COVOL and electronic equipment should not pass near mains or power cables in order to avoid picking up interferences wich may influence the electronic counters. The COVOL volumetric counters are calibrated using water (density...

Flow rate graph Variations of Ap m H20 with viscosity Variations of viscosity modify the pulses per litre factor of the counter but it does not affect the repeatability. As a general norm, the variations of density and viscosity only affect the COVOL counters at the beginning of the working range. When the density and viscosity is less than 1 kg/I and 1 mPa-s the flow rate must be higher to start to move the piston, and with the density and viscosity greater than 1 kg/I and 1 mPa-s the flow rate will be lower to start to move the In any case, the variations in density do not produce important...
