Why is the accumulated total high on my Oval Flowpet-5G Measuring Instruments?

  Tammy HicksAug 12, 2025
  If the accumulated total on your Oval Measuring Instruments is too high, it could be due to several reasons. The rotors might be rocking due to pulsating flow, in which case you should add a check valve and accumulator. External magnetic fields from motors or generators might be influencing the meter sensor; try removing these external magnetic fields. Finally, air entrapment could be the issue, so ensure you provide an air vent.

  If your Oval Measuring Instruments are counting even when the valves are closed and there is no fluid flow, it could be due to liquid leaks or air pockets between the valve and the meter, causing the rotors to oscillate from pump ripple pressures. To resolve this, provide an air bleed. Alternatively, install a check valve and accumulator.

  If fluid is not flowing through your Oval Measuring Instruments, check the following: First, ensure that the protective covers over the inlet and outlet flanges of the meter have been removed. If not, remove the meter and take off the covers. Second, scales may have jammed the oval rotors, preventing rotation; in this case, separate the register, disassemble, and clean the meter body. Lastly, the pump pressure or head pressure may be too low. Choose a pump that is better suited to your application, considering the pressure loss of the entire piping system.

What to do if liquid flows but the register fails to count on Oval Flowpet-5G?

  If the register on your Oval Measuring Instruments fails to count even when liquid is flowing, the rotors may be installed backwards. Disassemble the meter body and reinstall the rotors so that the magnets on the rotor face the meter body cover.

What to do if the LCD counter fails to count on Oval Flowpet-5G?
- K
  Kathy SuarezSep 4, 2025
  If the LCD counter on your Oval Measuring Instruments (b1, b2 modes) fails to count, it could be due to a low flowrate. Carefully open the valve to increase the flow. If fluid is not flowing, refer to Symptom 1.
