Positive Diplacement Meter
Model ZC 17
The Satam Positive Diplacement Meter (PD Meter) is a system with freely-moving blades used to measure petroleum products such as fuels, bio-fuels and refined liquid hydrocarbons and non corrosive chemicals.
Its simple design with only two pairs of blades and one moving rotor makes it exceptionally robust and allows the user to make significant savings on maintenance costs.
Sector of Application :
Oil Depots
For oil product reception and loading stations for tank truck tank car and ships
Hidrocarbon transportation
Distribution of fuel or fuel by road tanker
Aircraft Refuelling
Aircraft dispensers and aircraft fuelling of trucks
Transport companies
Refuelling of locomotives, trucks and public transport coaches
Marine applications
Refuelling of ships
Mining sites
Refueling of trucks or site machinery
Key points
Reduced pressure loss
0.3 to 0.5 bar at maximum flow rate
Low maintenance cost
Simple and robust design with mechanical components interchangeable between the different models
Stability of measurement
Accuracy of measurement guaranteed over a period of many years without any drift in the calibration curve.
Modular design
Wide range accessories for performing customized measurement applications
Robust construction
Flowmeter manifold is seperated from measuremment chamber to eliminate any posibble influence of external mechanical stresses on measurement accuracy.
