Oscillating Piston Meters

Positive Displacement- Oscillating Piston

Badger Meter's Oscillating Piston meters are highly accurate and the perfect match for food, beverage, chemical and other sanitary applications. The sanitary version is 3A approved. Combine the OP meter with most Badger® mechanical and electronic accessories for applications from batching to inventory control. Easy maintenance through simple replacement of the piston element.

Applications: Batching, inventory control, process transfer, metering of low, medium and high viscosity fluids in chemical and sanitary applications.

Badger's positive displacement meter, Model OP is one of the most cost effective methods for metering process fluids in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries. The simple but efficient design of the OP meter generates high accuracy and repeatability over the entire meter flow range. magnetic, "through the wall" transmission, prevents operator exposure to corrosive fluids and protects the fluid from external contamination.

Offered in three sizes, 1/2", 1" and 2", for flows up to 100 GPM, these meters are extremely rugged, reliable and need little maintenance and calibration. With only three internal moving parts, maintenance is seldom required. If necessary, it takes but a few minutes.

All parts are designed and built of materials recommended for your application, providing you with a long life, trouble-free, precision flow meter. All sizes of the meter are offered in chemical and sanitary, (3A approved), configurations with a wide variety of end fittings to match your piping. the meter's compact design and mode of operation allows for installation in tight spaces and in any position.

Tom complement the OP meter line, Badger offers a complete line of accessories that includes mechanical, pneumatic, electromechanical and electronic transmitters, totalizers, indicators and batch/process controllers.

Operation

The meter function is based on the continuous filling and discharging of the measuring chamber (positive displacement). controlled clearances between the piston and the chamber insure minimum gap leakage for precise measurement of each volume cycle. As the piston oscillates, its' center hub rotates a magnet, whose movement is sensed through the meter wall by electromagnetic sensors or by a follower magnet. Each revolution of the magnet is equivalent to a fixed volume of fluid, which is converted to any engineering unit of measure for totalization, indication or process control.

Badger Meter is a leading marketer and manufacturer of products using flow measurement and control technologies developed both internally and with other technology companies. Its products are used to measure and control the flow of liquids in a variety of applications.
