Industrial Tri Gear Flow Meter Solutions

Tri-gear Flow meters are precise, reliable and rugged instruments for the volumetric flow of liquids in general industrial, petroleum and chemical applications that require high degrees of accuracy and repeatability. They operate on the Positive Displacement principle using advanced gear technology and offer a competitive alternative to their Oval Gear, Sliding Vane and Bi-Rotor alternatives.


Operation Principal

Liquid Passes into the single case measuring chamber and displaces two Trigears. Each rotation of a Tri-gear is proportional to a discrete unit of volume, in turn, the speed at which the gears rotate is directly proportional to flowrate. Reed and Hall Effect sensors mounted outside the pressure boundary detect the movement of the Tri-gears, thus allowing local or remote instruments to display flow total, rate of flow or facilitate batching applications.

Meters can be fitted with additional sensors to provide in phase or out of phase signals for applications such as bidirectional flow.


Benefits

  • High Resolution Digital Output
  • Wide Rangeability
  • Bi-directional flow capability
  • Digital or Analogue Outputs available.

  • Less slippage than oval gear meters.
  • Smoother and quieter than Oval Gear Meters.
  • Dual Output standard (reed and hall effect)
  • Low Mass Tri-gears facilitate fast response time to step changes in flowrate.

Tri Gear Flow Meter FAQs

Straight answers to what buyers ask us most about Tri Gear Flow Meter.

A tri gear flow meter works on the positive displacement principle. Liquid enters a single-case measuring chamber and turns two tri-gears, and each rotation represents a fixed volume, so gear speed is proportional to flow rate. Reed and Hall effect sensors mounted outside the pressure boundary detect gear movement to display flow rate and total, or to control batching.

Six sizes are listed: TG008 (8 mm, 0.25-9.2 L/min), TG015 (15 mm, 1-40 L/min), TG020 (20 mm, 2-50 L/min), TG025 (25 mm, 5-150 L/min), TG040 (40 mm, 10-250 L/min) and TG050 (50 mm, 20-500 L/min). Accuracy is ±0.5% of reading at 3 cP, with ±0.25% of reading listed over a 15:1 turndown, and typical repeatability is ±0.01%.

Tri gear meters have less slippage than oval gear meters and run smoother and quieter. They also offer high-resolution digital output, wide rangeability, bi-directional flow capability, dual reed and Hall effect outputs as standard, a HART output option, and low-mass gears that respond quickly to step changes in flow rate. They are also offered as an alternative to sliding vane and bi-rotor meters.

Tri gear flow meter price depends on the size from TG008 to TG050, body material (aluminium or 316 stainless steel), output options such as 4-20 mA, HART or batch control, and the quantity required.

Share your fluid, pipe size, pressure and output needs, and the team will recommend the right TG model. Call +91 8511104864 or WhatsApp +91 9898739737.

Yes. RB Automation sizes tri gear meters using the flow de-rating guide, because maximum flow must be reduced as viscosity increases and the maximum allowable pressure drop is 140 kPa (20 psi). The team also checks the 30 bar limit for aluminium threaded meters and the required filtration of 75 or 150 microns depending on size. Use the inquiry form on this page for sizing support.
