Real-World Applications
The JV-BB and its predecessor JV-KG have been installed on hundreds of chemical injection skids throughout the Gulf of Mexico and beyond for decades. The robust construction and resilient materials of construction lend this meter perfectly to this application. With high accuracy and tolerance of pulsing flows, this meter out-performs the competition in some of the harshest environments in the world.
Hydraulic Test Stands
The JV-BB gear meter is ideal for hydraulic test stands due to its high accuracy and repeatability, which ensure precise measurement of fluid flow under varying conditions. Its robust design withstands the high pressures and temperatures typical in hydraulic systems. It can handle a wide range of viscosities and flow disturbances and its compact size and lack of need for straight run installation make it versatile and easy to integrate into complex hydraulic setups.
Onshore Chemical Injection Systems
Although onshore chemical injection systems are installed on land, at ground level, and in more stable conditions, they are still exposed to weather, varying temperatures, dust, and potential exposure to industrial pollutants. The JV-BB gear meter is still the best choice for its high accuracy and repeatability for consistently precise dosing of the valuable chemicals.
