Proper use
Safety
Proper use
□ Use flowmeters of the OMG series solely for flow measurement of lubricating liquids that are
chemically neutral and do not contain any gas or solids content.
Safety
□ Flowmeters require the operation with clean liquids. If coarse soiling, solid particles in the liquid or
abrasive fine particles occur during operation, the flowmeter has to be protected additionally by a
correspondingly dimensioned operating filter in the pipe system, see "Cleaning the pipe system",
page 32.
□ Only use flowmeters within the operational limits specified on the rating plate and in the "Technical
data" section. Deviating operating data can result in damage to the flowmeter. In the case of
operating data that does not agree with the specifications on the rating plate, please contact the
manufacturer.
□ Strong changes to the flow rate (e.g. rapid shutdown, pulsations ...) cause marked pressure
differences on the flowmeter and can damage the measuring unit.
▪ The pressure loss of the flowmeter must not exceed the values given in the chapter "Technical
data", see "Load-bearing capacity", page 12.
Safety information
The following safety instructions must be observed:
□ No liability is accepted for damage arising through non-observance of the operating
instructions.
▪ Read the operating instructions carefully and observe them.
▪ The operator-owner is responsible for the observance of the operating instructions.
▪ Installation, removal and installation work may only be carried out by specialist personnel.
□ Flowmeters wear to different degrees depending on the respective operating conditions
(pulsations, temperature, …).
▪ Do not continue to use flowmeters that are operated contrary to specifications or after damage.
▪ Check the flowmeters regularly.
▪ Shut down damaged flowmeters and replace worn flowmeters immediately.
□ In order for the warranty to remain valid, corrective maintenance carried out during the
warranty period requires the express permission of the manufacturer.
□ Observe the general regulations for the prevention of accidents as well as the local safety
and operating instructions.
□ Observe the valid national and international standards and specifications of the installation
location.
□ In case of systems with an increased potential of danger to humans and/or machines the
failure of a flowmeter may not lead to injuries or damage to property.
▪ Always equip systems with an increased potential of danger with alarm equipment and/or
bypass.
▪ Maintain and check the protective/alarm equipment regularly.
□ The pumped liquids can be dangerous (e.g. hot, dangerous to health, poisonous,
combustible). Observe the safety conditions for handling dangerous materials.
□ Pumped liquids can be subject to pressure and can cause damage and/or personal injury
should leaks occur.

As screw meters flowmeters belong to the group of rotating displacement meters. The fluid current
makes the measuring unit rotate. The displacement effect results from the continuous filling, axial
displacement and discharge of the volumes that are formed by the measuring housing and measuring
unit. The measured liquid flows around and lubricates all the rotating parts. Thanks to the displacement
principle, the flowmeter does not require inlet and smoothing sections in its supply and discharge.
Depending on the customer requirements, the flowmeters can be equipped with suitable end
connections for connection to various flanges.

Roller bearings
Roller bearings
The measuring unit is maintained without contact and with a low degree of friction in the housing of the
KRAL flowmeter by means of precision roller bearings. The bearing end at the pole wheel end is
realized as a fixed bearing. Depending on the respective size, the following bearings are used:
The bearing point at the opposite end of the measuring unit is realized as a floating bearing with a
Function description
movable deep-groove ball bearing at all sizes.
Signal generation
A pole wheel 10, whose pole is sampled by a pick up, is affixed at the fixed-bearing end of the
measuring screw large 7. This pick up generates a specific number of pulses per flow volume unit depending on the size and working point. This device-specific characteristic is called the K-factor (unit:
Pulse/Liter) and is specified on the rating plate as well as the enclosed calibration certificate.
Possible formats of the signals are:
□ PNP
□ Push-pull
□ NAMUR
Depending on the design of the pick up either cylindrical rotors with embedded magnets or toothed
metal disks with varying tooth density can be used (higher number of poles = higher K-factor). Various
types of pick ups can be used depending on the application (operating temperature, required
frequencies):
□ Inductive pick ups
□ Pick ups based on the Hall effect
□ Magnetic pick ups
The rating plate of the flowmeter lists a preferred direction of flow at which the pick up lies on the flow-off
end. This preferred direction is based on the aim to position the pick up of the low-pressure end for the
case that the flowmeter is blocked.
Linearization
The calibration certificate contains a mean K-factor that has been determined for the flow range 10:1
and that can therefore be used across a wide flow range. However, the K-factor shows slightly different
values at different flow rates. These are also documented in the enclosed calibration certificate. If
highest measuring precision is required, it is therefore advisable, especially at strongly varying flow
rates, to take these different values into consideration by means of a "Linearization". The K-factors are
therefore fed into a suitable electronics unit across several interpolation values of the flow rate. The Kfactor relevant for the flow rate being measured is then determined by means of linear interpolation
between the two nearest interpolation values.
The viscosity dependence of the K-factors must also be taken into account. These are determined
during calibration at a viscosity of approximately 4.2 mm²/s. The influence of the flow rate on the K-factor
decreases at higher viscosities so that the mean K-factor can then also be used in a considerably larger
flow range without noteworthy errors.

Temperature compensation
Temperature compensation
Flowmeters of the OMG series can be equipped additionally with temperature sensors in the sizes OMG
13 to OMG100. Mounting of a temperature sensor in the piping is advisable for the size OMG140. If the
flowmeter is equipped with a temperature sensor, the current density of the flowing liquid can be
calculated from this measured value by means of a density table stored in the electronics unit. A
normalized volume measurement is then possible at which the displayed values are converted to a
reference temperature that can be selected freely. This ensures that measuring errors caused by
changes in the density due to temperature variations are avoided.
Flow direction detection
Systems with a changing flow direction as well as systems with pressure pulsations - that can also
cause a reversal of the flow direction - require the use of a second pick up, see "Connection for the pick
ups", page 30. This additional phase-offset signal and the incremental encoding inputs available in the
KRAL electronic unit can be used to determine the direction of flow and to take it into consideration
when calculating the total values.
Junction box
The manufacturer offers a junction box that facilitates the electrical connection of the various sensors for
the flowmeters of the OMG series. Further information see "Accessories", page 51.
