It needs to accumulate a store of know-how on the design, precision processing and appraisement for metering pump which is a kind of gear pump for synthetic fibers. But the period and cost for development is not effective, because designers experience many trial and error for the pump design and manufacturing process. Therefore, in order to curtail the period and cut down expenses, the analysis and simulation system is required for a designed metering pump. In this study, the pump simulation software was developed with the visual C＋＋ language and the image processing algorithm, and was investigated through a discharge test for the planetary gear type metering pump.
