Oval Flow Meters

The OVAL Corporation of Japan is one of the leading manufacturers of precision and speciality flow meters.


They have been a pioneer in the field of flow measurement and control for almost 50 years. This year marks the 11th anniversary of the iCenta Controls partnership with Oval.

Established in 1949 in Tokyo, Japan, Oval now has several factories and companies worldwide. It’s heavily vested in global issues, providing products for both Meteorological Control and Environmental Management alongside the flow meter industry. It achieved ISO 14001 certification, the international standard for environmental issues, in 2006 and 2010; alongside a variety of humanitarian projects throughout Japan.

Their original product range centres around Gear Flow Technology, or positive displacement flow meters as they are also known. The name Oval stems from the oval shaped gears used in today’s flow meters, which were originally intended for use in automotive applications by Nissan. The patent for the technology was acquired by the founder of Oval and they were converted for use in flow measurement.
