need re-calibration with time due to wearing. Main Benefits
Magnetic transmission: sealing between the wetted
parts and the dry parts of the PD flowmeter is of static

Operating Principle Operating Scheme
Flow
The two rotors, engineered and manufactured in such a way they Direction
never touch each other nor the measuring unit components, are
alternatively driven by the timing gears coupled on rotor shafts just
outside the measuring chamber.
Base
As shown in the operating scheme, the liquid flowing inside the PD Volume
flowmeter pushes the rotor on the right , which is in condition of
unbalanced pressure, to rotate clockwise; contemporarily the rotor
on the left, being driven by the timing gears, is forced to rotate
counter clockwise.
After a 90° rotation, the rotors are in a reciprocal position when
compared to the initial one and therefore it is the rotor on the left
which, pushed from the liquid, rotates counter clockwise driving,
through the timing gears, the rotor on the right. During these
operating cycles, the volume generated between the rotors and
the components of the measuring chamber determine the "base
volume" of the instrument.
A complete rotors' rotation generates four "base volumes". By
transmitting the number of rotors' rotations to the register the
volume flown through the PD flowmeters is displayed. Base

Notes On Flange Identification Code
Flange size different from standard flange size identified from the digits just after the first digit of each model (i.e. 51: 1"
flange, 110: 10" flange) are identified adding the below code after PD Flowmeter model:
- S:1/2", CD:3/4", A:1", AA: 1"1/4, AB:1"1/2, B:2", BC:2"1/2, C:3", D:4", F:6", H:8", L:10", P:14", R:16" (i.e model 16D is flanged 4")
Notes On Flow Rate Ranges
It is possible to use "PETROL" PD flowmeters outside specified flow rate ranges and viscosities but in such cases it is
necessary to consult the factory. Continuous service means 8/24 hours of operation per day.
The max allowed flow rate is about 20% higher than that shown on the table.
For liquid with a viscosity above 10 cP is normally specified a 1:10 flow rate range within the limits mentioned in the table.
