VZO / VZF

INDUSTRIAL METER

Application

VZO is a volumetric meter with an oscillating piston. Its design makes it extremely rugged and highly accurate, even at low flowrates. VZO may be installed horizontally, vertically or at an angle. When used with burners, it may be fitted directly on the nozzle line. Its metering chamber can be easily cleaned without removing the meter from the pipe.
VZO is made of cast iron, bronze and aluminium piston and is particularly suitable for metering non-aggressive liquid lubricants such as fuel oil or mineral oil.
Modular, VZO may be fitted at any time with a pulse emitter. The variety of values and pulse types make VZO compatible with all centralised technical management systems. The version with an electronic register (VZF) offers a multifunctional display facility, as well as pulse and analogue outputs.

  • Assembly

    Rotary piston meters may be fitted on horizontal or vertical pipes at an angle. They do not require the presence of straight lengths before or after the meter. The dial of the register must never be installed head down. Rotary piston meters are precision instruments and must always be protected by a filter. The mesh width must be less than 100 microns (0.1 mm).
