Fuel Flow Meters

A flow meter is used to measure the quantity of fluid that has been moved during the transfer process. They have a visual display, which can be either mechanical or digital, for the user to read off the measurement. Flow meters are used within a variety of fluid transfer applications and therefore whilst they are always used to measure the fluid, the ways in which they work are slightly different.

With a nutating disk fuel flow meter, the fluid would enter the meter inlet where it comes into contact with the eccentrically mounted disk. This disk ‘nutates’ along the vertical axis that the disk is positioned along, and as it does so it provides indication of the amount of fluid that has gone through the meter.
