Oil Flow Measurement Testing & Calibration Services

TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory’s Oil Flow Measurement Facility is a modern purpose- built flow meter calibration and evaluation laboratory. The facility has four separate flow lines, covering a wide range of flow rates with a selection of different oils. Combining these oils with TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory’s unique temperature control system allows independent variation in the test temperature and viscosity. The test sections can be constructed to offer long straight lengths upstream and downstream or, if necessary, specific configurations designed to replicate actual installations.
