Industrial Oval Gear Flowmeter –
A low-flow positive displacement meter designed for clean fluids
The COX Flow Measurement Industrial Oval Gear Meter is a low-flow, positive displacement flowmeter designed for clean fluids. The Industrial Oval Gear Meter is unaffected by shifts in output due to viscosity variance, making it an ideal choice for use with lubricating oil, paint, epoxies, greases, polyurethane, additives, syrups, glue, hydraulic oil and any fluid compatible with the materials of construction.
The Industrial Oval Gear Meter is best suited for fluids with a viscosity range between 5 to 1000 centipoise and does not require flow straighteners upstream or downstream. The oval meter design minimizes slippage between the gears and the measuring chamber wall. As a result, the meter is less affected than other designs by the liquid's viscosity and lubricity.
Exceptional repeatability of ±0.03% and linearity within ±0.5% over a wide operating range make this oval gear meter an excellent choice for precision blending or metering. The design offers durable construction with 1/2" NPT process ports or flange adapters. The meter is equipped with an explosion-proof terminal enclosure and ATEX/Intrinsically Safe approvals, meeting the needs of hazardous area locations.

Oval Gear Flowmeter Registers – Rate & Total Displays
ILR700 Series Registers complete the Oval Gear Meter by providing rate and total displays, output scaling, selectable unit of measure and a programmable K-factor in non-volatile memory. The electronic register modules contain a microprocessor board, powered by a lithium battery, with a life expectancy of 4 to 5 years. The register goes into sleep mode, while in a no flow condition, to preserve battery life. A six-digit liquid crystal display, accurate to three decimal places, indicates the exact amount of fluid that has passed through the meter. Both rate and total are displayed simultaneously, along with a low battery indicator.
The ILR700 Series can be programmed to batch in pints, quarts, liters or gallons and will totalize in liters or gallons. The Oval Gear calibration K-factor and unit of measure are programmed during factory test. The units can be easily programmed in the field using the total and rate buttons on the face of the register. The module design can be orientated in-line or perpendicular to the piping.
The ILR700 Series register mounts on top of the Oval Gear Flowmeter and senses the magnets embedded in the gears, which activate the reed switches. The reed switches send pulses to the microprocessor in the register, changing the LED display segments.
