1 QUALITY INDUSTRIAL FLOWMETERS

2 COMPANY PROFILE Trimec Industries is an Australian owned ISO9001:2008 quality certified company specializing in the design and manufacture of a proprietary range of positive displacement rotary piston, oval gear, insertion and impeller flow meters, ancillary flow hardware and dedicated electronic flow instrumentation. The meters measure the flow of clean liquids and are produced in a wide variety of materials and configurations to suit most markets including the food, chemical, cosmetic, ink, pharmaceutical, paint, petroleum and additive industries. Trimec Industries business has been built initially around its Multipulse series positive displacement meters which were introduced in 1987, thus setting a new standard for quality and reliability at competitive pricing. The oval gear flowmeter range was added in order to extend the flow rate capacities of the product, offering for both low flow & high flow rate applications. The Oval gear meters are approved by the Australian National Measurement Institute (NMI) as an instrument for resale purposes (custody transfer). Most Trimec products have ATEX and IECEx approvals for explosion proof areas. Trimec also manufacture a complete range of complimentary flow instruments including remote or integral mounted flow rate totalizers and batch controllers, these instruments have both ATEX & IECEx hazardous area approvals. The manufacturing facility is located close to Sydney s international airport. All design, assembly and calibration of the flow products is in house along with sales, administration and marketing supporting both domestic and international markets. The success of Trimec is attributed to the experience and knowledge acquired over a period of 40 years by its key personnel in the flow measurement industry. Trimec is committed to developing and expanding its range of proprietary flow products to meet the ever changing needs of industry. 2

21 APPLICATIONS AND LIQUID CHARACTERISTICS VISCOUS LIQUID BEHAVIOR The viscosity of a liquid is proportional to its resistance to shear. Of the three categories of viscosity (see opposite) Newtonians are most typical and include petroleum fluids, water & similar chemicals. Most empirical test data for flowmeters and pumps has been developed using Newtonian liquids. When working with Non-Newtonian liquids we use the expression effective viscosity in terms of the liquid after it has been pre-sheared by the pump and subsequent movement through the pipe, in these instances it is not unusual for the effective viscosity to be many times less than the theoretical viscosity thereby lessening the pressure drop across the meter.

The oscillating piston meter can withstand 4 bar differential making it more suitable to high viscosity liquids, the oval meter is limited to 1 bar differential due to the pressure imposed on the rotor shafts.
