[162 Flow meter

The flow of oil to be measured passes through a movable orifice. The orifice consists of a fixed cone and a hollow piston mounted on a spring. The piston is pressed against the spring in proportion to the flow rate concerned. The measuring error of this type of flow meter is approx. 4%. Measuring turbines, oval disk meters or toothed-wheel gauges are used when higher accuracy is required.
