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

In subsea drilling operations, the Subsea Gear Meter is essential for accurately measuring the flow rate of drilling fluids, ensuring optimal performance and safety. Installed within the subsea control system, the gear meter is crucial for monitoring and adjusting the flow of hydraulic lubricants. The gear meter’s sealed electronics and robust and reliable design ensures it can withstand the harsh subsea environment, providing critical information to operators for effective and safe drilling operations.
Blowout Prevention
Snubbing operations typically involves valve actuation during well shut-in. Due to the bi-directional nature of the hydraulic flow in actuator lines, they require meters that can read in both directions and provide encoder-like counts for position indication. The Subsea Gear Meter meets the challenges of this, as well as the harsh environmental conditions and often sour service with high H2S levels due to its robust materials of construction.
ROV Operation
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) provide a means for oil drilling companies to perform maintenance on subsea equipment, enhancing efficiencies and safety. Incorporated into these RVs are specialized instruments and tools to perform functions at the sea floor, such as valve actuation. The Subsea Gear Meter is built to withstand the extreme conditions of deep water operations at depths up to 10,000 ft and internal pressures up to 15,000 psi.
