Gear Meters

Gear meters specifically spur gear, are ideal for low flow rates, viscous fluids, and measurement of flows involving starts and stops or pulsing.

Variable Area Meters

Variable Area flow meters are a type of rotameter that measure oils, liquids or gases by relating linear displacement of an internal “float” or sharp-edged orifice plate to a corresponding flow rate.

Coriolis Mass Flow Meters

TRICOR Coriolis flow meters are highly accurate and repeatable multi-variable instruments that measure mass flow, density, and temperature with calculated volumetric flow and feature a very easy user interface.

Paddle Wheel Flow Meter

Operating much like a turbine flow meter, the paddle wheel flow meter consists of a freely rotating wheel which is outfitted with magnets on the blades or “paddles” of the wheel.

Helical Flow Meters

Helical gear ("screw-type") flow meters are designed for measuring highly viscous, abrasive, and filled fluids including lubricating and non-lubricating media, such as polyurethane, polymers, greases and oils.

Turbine Flow Meters

Axial turbine flow meters are designed with wear resistant internal components to provide trouble-free operation and a long service life in a wide variety of industrial applications.

Ultrasonic Flow Meters

Non-contact ultrasonic flow meters for accurate, instantaneous mass & volumetric flow rate measurement of clean, non-aerated fluids in full pipes such as water, chemicals, and oils.

Flow Electronics

Electronics coupled with our mechanical flow meters deliver flow data in your preferred format, whether a local display, remote transmitter, or simple pickup.

Rotary Piston

Rotary Piston positive displacement flow meters are ideal for use in applications with very low flow rates and high pressures, such as offshore chemical injection applications.

Turbidity Sensor

AW-Lake's ProScan Turbidity Sensor is ideal for detection of material transitions, monitoring turbidity, and measuring product concentration, such as in dairy processing, juice processing, and brewing operations.

Fluid Power / Hydraulics

Flow meters used to monitor flow readings in fluid power systems are essential to properly monitoring your process, diagnosing system errors, and ensuring system performance. Our expertise in this area goes back decades with numerous flow meters for the hydraulics and fluid power system industry.

Oil & Gas

From corrosive subsea environments, offshore production platforms, onshore oil fields, or refineries we have the flow expertise to tackle these tough jobs. Difficult oil and gas flow metering challenges like high pressures, pulsating flows, corrosive media and harsh environments are our daily business.

Gear Meters

JV-TC Gear Meter

JV-TC Gear Meters were designed for measuring non-lubricating and filled fluids due to the specialized gear/shaft design, increased pressure rating (up to 6,000 psi), and improved flushability. These factors, along with the standard 7-point calibration and new EDGE sensor give you a 0.5% accurate meter across the full flow range – even in changing viscosity conditions.
Built To withstand 30+ years of use, measuring thick, abrasive fluids

The JV-TC Positive Displacement Flow Meter is part of AW-Lake’s “Next-Generation” line of Gear Meters and is the result of decades of experience, listening to customers and extensive and diligent study of the latest technologies available. These high performance flow meters have wider turndowns, higher resolution, higher pressure rating, and improved accuracy over their predecessor the JV-CG meter. This meter maintains high accuracy and repeatability, despite changing viscosity conditions, up to ±0.25% accuracy with select sensors. Applications well suited to the JV-TC meters include filling & dosing systems, 2- and 3-component mixing systems, and paint systems, such as seen in the automotive sector.

The JV-TC positive displacement flow meters (“TC” for the tungsten carbide bearing) build upon the performance you expect from us and take ease of use and durability to the next level, offering greater efficiencies in operation with higher resolution, higher standard pressure rating (up to 6,000 psi), wider turndowns, and improved accuracy – even in changing viscosity conditions.

  • Eliminate Waste – Maintain repeatable and accurate flow measurement, independent of changing fluid conditions.   Track and report usage to quantify product/process quality, pump performance, or material levels.
  • Reduce Costs – By using the correct amount of expensive/costly fluids in your process and not overdosing, you can reduce material costs. And with proper lubrication or chemical dosing you can reduce maintenance costs.
  • Improve Product Quality – With flow meters that can ensure ±0.1% repeatability, you are able to maintain consistency in your processes by assuring each batch is the same. Despite long and continuous operation, these meters perform at the same level month after month… year after year.
  • Operate with Ease – Paired with our smart EDGE family of flow sensors there is one easy to learn set-up procedure available via phone or PC app.  Our friendly & knowledgeable staff of Application Engineers are here to help you select the right meter and get you up and running quickly.

Real-World Applications


2K Meter/Mixing/Dispense Systems

JV-TC gear meters are essential devices that measure and control the flow rate of liquids in 1-, 2-, and 3-component meter/mix and dispense systems. The JV-TC meters achieve precise and consistent delivery of the individual components, ensuring optimal mixing ratios and product quality. They also help reduce possible material waste and solvent consumption, which results in lower operating costs and environmental impact.

Industrial Paint Booths

The JV-TC Gear Meter is an excellent choice for paint systems due to its sleeve-type bearings, which are ideal for handling paints and other abrasive materials. Traditional gear meters with ball bearings are prone to breakdowns or material buildup, leading to hardening and operational issues. The sleeve bearings in the JV-TC Gear Meter prevent these problems, making it suitable for both standard and highly viscous paints, as there are no extra spaces for material to get stuck.

Commercial Printing

Large commercial printing plants rely on flow meters to monitor ink usage, both for a cost standpoint as well as for environmental compliance and reporting. Due to the viscous nature of printing inks, the JV-TC is an ideal meter for this application.
