The Flomec Large Capacity Flow Meters are suited for receipt verification, loading, unloading & distribution management at petroleum depots, mine sites, and marine & aviation facilities. The most common transfer applications involve fuels, oils, solvents, and alcohols along with the blending of bio & ethanol fuels either pumped or gravity fed.
These meters are compact and lightweight in construction - important benefits when used in mobile installations or within confined spaces.
have fitting sizes of 3 inches and 4 inches, and handle volumetric flow measurements of clean liquids used in a wide range of applications.
NMI Approved Meters
Meters 1" and above are available with optional NMI pattern approval and quadrature pulse output.
Features
