ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Disclosed is a method of monitoring the extent of throttling a sliding gate teeming valve where a hydraulic ram is employed by measuring the fluid flow in and out of the hydraulic cylinder which drives a valve, either for throttling, or positioning. Shown is a hydraulic motor in series with the driving fluid with a rotary counter. The rotation of the motor is read out remotely and preferably digitally, with intermediate means translating the volume of fluid flow into a calculation of travel of the hydraulic ram which, in turn can be translated into the movement of the sliding gate valve. Means for zero setting upon actuation are provided within the method. The apparatus shows the combination of an hydraulic-type motor in the hydraulic line which drives the actuating cylinders of a sliding gate valve. The rotation of the motor is then counted and calculated to read out in digital form, preferably electrically actuated and remote from the motor. A logic circuit is provided to be actuated by the read-out to compute the hydraulic fluid displacement and indicate the position of the valve. Means for gearing the motor and counter for each operation is further included in the combination.
