FMC Series High-Precision Rotary Vane Positive Displacement Flow Meter for Liquid Fuel Applications
Accurate and reliable liquid metering is critical in fuel distribution, chemical processing, and industrial fluid management. The FMC Series PD Rotary Vane Flow Meters are engineered for high-performance measurement in both transfer and process control applications. These positive displacement meters feature a compact, single-case, angle-type design, allowing easy installation in tight spaces without sacrificing performance.
The FMC meter operates with dual bladed displacement rotors and a central blocking rotor, rotating in perfect synchronization within three cylindrical bores. This design ensures a continuous capillary seal between un-metered upstream product and metered downstream flow, providing outstanding accuracy and consistency. The low-friction ball bearings, fixed cam-type timing, and rugged construction ensure long-term reliability and minimal maintenance requirements.
FMC meters offer a wide flow range from 38 L/min to 1500 L/min, depending on model size, and can handle various liquid fuels, including gasoline, kerosene, and diesel oil. The compact design results in low pressure drop, reducing slippage and enhancing metering precision. Accuracy is maintained at ±0.2% with repeatability of 0.07%, making FMC meters ideal for applications where exact measurement is crucial.
These meters are compatible with additional accessories such as air eliminators, strainers, and preset valves, making them adaptable to a variety of industrial settings. Their versatility and robust performance have made FMC meters a preferred choice in fuel depots, oil refineries, airports, marine fuel systems, and private liquid transport operations.
Around the world, FMC rotary vane flow meters are known by multiple names. In North America and Europe, they are often referred to as Rotary Vane Positive Displacement Meters. In Southeast Asia, some users call them PD Vane Meters, while in Latin America and Africa, the term Rotary Fuel Meter is common. Regardless of terminology, the core benefits remain consistent: high precision, low maintenance, and suitability for a broad range of liquid fuels.
In summary, the FMC Series High-Precision Rotary Vane PD Flow Meters provide reliable, accurate, and long-lasting measurement for liquid fuel applications worldwide. Their robust construction, wide flow adaptability, and low pressure drop make them an indispensable solution for industrial metering needs.
