16” Mechanical APL BiRotorModels B231, B233, B234, B235

DescriptionThe BiRotor Meter is a positive displacement meterutilized in the most demanding applications requiringaccuracy, long life and ruggedness.

Accuracy is attained by the unique BiRotor designwhich features two finely balanced rotors. Anadjustor, incorporated on the meter, is used toassure maximum accuracy within the meter's flowrange.

Long Life is assured because the meter does notcontain any oscillating, reciprocating, sliding parts orcranks to wear or disturb the balanced rotary action.In addition, the materials incorporated within themeter assembly are selected specifically for thewide range of petroleum and industrial liquidapplications.

Principle of OperationTwo spiral fluted rotors within the measuring unit aredynamically balanced to minimize bearing wear.(Refer to Figure 1). As product enters the intake ofthe measuring unit, the two rotors divide the productinto precise segments of volume momentarily andthen return these segments to the outlet of themeasuring unit. During this “liquid transition”, therotation of the two rotors is directly proportional to theflow rate of the liquid thruput. A gear train locatedoutside the measuring unit chamber conveysmechanical rotation of the rotors to a mechanical orelectronic register for totalization of liquid thruput.

Design Features• Extremely long service life• Economical low maintenance• Two simple rotors with no metal-to-metal contact are the only moving parts in the measuring chamber.• No oscillating, reciprocating or sliding parts or cranks to wear or disturb the balanced rotary.• Conforms with International standards of flowmeter accuracy.

Accessories• Preset Counters • Pulse Transmitters• Control Valves • Ticket Printers• Large Numerical Registers • Strainers

DescriptionThe BiRotor Meter is a positive displacement meterutilized in the most demanding applications requiringaccuracy, long life and ruggedness.

Accuracy is attained by the unique BiRotor designwhich features two finely balanced rotors. Anadjustor, incorporated on the meter, is used toassure maximum accuracy within the meter's flowrange.

Long Life is assured because the meter does notcontain any oscillating, reciprocating, sliding parts orcranks to wear or disturb the balanced rotary action.In addition, the materials incorporated within themeter assembly are selected specifically for thewide range of petroleum and industrial liquidapplications.

Principle of OperationTwo spiral fluted rotors within the measuring unit aredynamically balanced to minimize bearing wear.(Refer to Figure 1). As product enters the intake ofthe measuring unit, the two rotors divide the productinto precise segments of volume momentarily andthen return these segments to the outlet of themeasuring unit. During this “liquid transition”, therotation of the two rotors is directly proportional to theflow rate of the liquid thruput. A gear train locatedoutside the measuring unit chamber conveysmechanical rotation of the rotors to a mechanical orelectronic register for totalization of liquid thruput.

Design Features• Extremely long service life• Economical low maintenance• Two simple rotors with no metal-to-metal contact are the only moving parts in the measuring chamber.• No oscillating, reciprocating or sliding parts or cranks to wear or disturb the balanced rotary.• Conforms with International standards of flowmeter accuracy.

Accessories• Preset Counters • Pulse Transmitters• Control Valves • Ticket Printers• Large Numerical Registers • Strainers
