Measuring Chamber

Thanks to its advanced technical design, SATAM is able to cover the entire range of flow rates, from 20 l/mn ( 5 USGPM) to 4200 l/mn (1100 USGPM), by the simple addition of measuring chambers.

Operating Principle

The product enters the measuring chamber at (A) following the direction of the arrows. The rotor and blades assembly (1-2) is set in motion by the pressure of the liquid on blades.

A certain amount of liquid (3) is held between two blades, measured and then directed towards to discharge manifold (B). The volume of liquid measured at easch rotation is therefore equal to 4 times the measured quantity (3).

Accuracy is provided by the extremely small clearance between the different elements of the meter.

The smooth curves of the meter pieces provide a steady, non-fluctuating flow, resulting in low head loss.

In mechanical version, an extended rotor shaft transmits its movement to the meter head using a calibrating device. The mechanism of the meter adjustment is stepless.

Mechanical Calibrating Mechanism

All the meters in the SATAM range are equipped with a Continuous adjustment calibrating mechanism. All meters are tested in the factory before delivery to the customer. This very accurate mechanism is based on the principle of differentials. By means of a calibration screw we can adjust as follows:

on ZC.17.12 Meters:
1 notch = 0.025% (adjustment range: 4% maximum)

on ZC.17.24/24 and ZC.17.24/48 Meters:
1 notch = 0.025% (adjustment range: 4% maximum)

on ZC.17.80/80, ZC.17.80/150 and ZC.17.80/250 Meters:
1 round = 0.1% (adjustment range 1.2% maximum)
