Positive displacement (PD) flow meters are high-accuracy instruments that measure the volumetric flow of liquids by capturing fixed amounts of fluid in chambers and releasing them in a controlled manner. Each rotation or displacement of the internal mechanism corresponds to a specific volume, making them highly precise, even at low flow rates.
They are widely used for measuring viscous fluids such as oils, fuels, syrups, and chemicals, where other flow meter types may struggle. With mechanical or electronic readouts, PD flow meters are durable, reliable, and suitable for both industrial and commercial applications.
