Gilbarco Type Aluminum High-Accuracy Flow Meter for Fuel Dispenser Applications
In fuel dispenser systems and industrial fuel transfer equipment, a flow meter is not only responsible for accurate measurement, but also plays a critical role in overall system stability and operating efficiency. The Gilbarco Type Aluminum High-Accuracy Flow Meter is designed specifically for these demanding applications, combining precise measurement, structural reliability, and long-term operational stability.
Across global markets, this type of fuel flow meter is known by different names. In North America, it is commonly referred to as a fuel dispenser flow meter or gasoline meter. In Europe, it is often called a fuel metering unit or mechanical fuel flow meter. In France, it is known as a fuel measuring instrument, while in Spain and Latin America, it is widely referred to as a fuel flow measuring device. In Germany, it is typically described as a fuel flow measurement unit. In many Asian markets, it is simply known as a fuel flow meter or dispenser metering component. Although the names vary, the core function remains the same—accurate and stable fuel measurement.
The HBJG-473 flow meter features an aluminum alloy body, offering high mechanical strength while keeping the overall weight low. This lightweight design makes it especially suitable for installation inside compact fuel dispenser cabinets. With a displacement of 0.473 liters per revolution and a working flow range from 5 to 60 liters per minute, it meets the requirements of most standard fueling stations and medium-flow fuel delivery systems. The adjustable minimum volume reaches 0.04%, measurement accuracy is maintained at ±0.2%, and repeatability remains within 0.07%, ensuring consistent performance even during long-term operation.
In terms of system compatibility, this flow meter can be used together with the HBZCB-90 gear pump (Tatsuno-type fuel pump), and it is also compatible with the HBZYB-50 series vane pumps (Bennett-type pumps). This flexibility allows equipment manufacturers and system integrators to configure different fuel transfer solutions according to project needs.
The HBJG-473 flow meter has a compact structure and is easy to transport and install. Each carton contains two units, with a net weight of approximately 10 kilograms. Its reasonable overall dimensions make it suitable for bulk procurement and engineering projects. Thanks to its mature mechanical design, the flow meter delivers reliable performance in high-frequency operating environments, helping to reduce maintenance requirements and long-term operating costs.
