GASBOY FLOW METER TYPE 4460
Features and Benefits :
GASBOY FLOW METER TYPE 4460 How it Operates
The fuel to be measured enters the meter at one side and passes freely through the measuring chamber in a corkscrew path. As it passes, it causes the disc to nutate so that the pin in the ball hub describes a circle. The tip of this pin drives the gear train that, in turn, drives the register mechanism at a rate that is proportional to the volume passing through the meter For this meter, we have engineered gear trains for gasoline in U.S. gallons and tenths, imperial gallons and tenths, and liters and tenths; and others for diesel and/ or kerosene in U.S. gallons and tenths, Imperial gallons and tenths, and liters and tenths.
Piping Arrangements GASBOY Flow Meter Type 4460
The meter body can be arranged at the factory for installation in either vertical or horizontal piping runs. Inlet and outlet are always 180o apart. Specify if inlet should be at 12, 3, 6, or 9 o’clock as you face the register.
- Mounting position will not affect the meter’s accuracy.
- Inlet and outlet are 1-1/2” NPT.
Approvals : UL listed.
Readout : Four digits, on individual register wheels. Digits are 3/8” high, white on black. Tenths are black on white.
Maximum per delivery : 999.9 units.
Setback between deliveries : Front panel pushbutton, single push resets all digits to zeros.
Totalizer : Seven digits, on individual register wheels, non-resettable. Digits are 3/16” high, white on black. Tenths are black on white. Totalizes to 999999.9, then starts over.

This is the high-speed, high-capacity, heavy-duty meter register for individual deliveries of gasoline, diesel or kerosene that is flowing at high rates: up to 40 GPM (151 LPM), and pressures up to 50 psi (3.5 kg/cm2). Calibrated accuracy is 1/2% of registration at full flow.
The Model 4460 utilizes a nutating disc type meter. It is operated solely by the liquid passing through it, and requires no external power. The meter can be mounted in any position without affecting its accuracy. It consists of a brass measuring chamber which holds the center of the aluminum nutating disc in a ball-and-socket hub arrangement. This measuring chamber is precisely positioned in the meter’s cast iron housing.
Field Recalibration
These meters will accurately measure liquids with viscosities less than 120 SSU (60oF) at flow rates up to 40 GPM (151 LPM) and at pressures up to 50 psi. They are for consumer use only. Factory calibrated accuracy is 1/2% of registration or better, at full flow. If changing conditions require that the meter be calibrated, a needle valve is provided for this purpose. Step by step instructions are given in the parts list, available on request.
