Positive Displacement Meter ZC17
The SATAM Positive Displacement meter (PD meter) is a system with freely-moving blades used to measure “white” petroleum products such as fuels, bio-fuels and refined liquid hydrocarbons. Its simple design using only two pairs of blades and one moving rotor makes it exceptionally robust and allows the user to make significant savings on maintenance costs.
Sectors of Application
- Oil depots For product reception and loading stations for trucks, wagons and ships
- Hydrocarbon transportation Distribution of fuel oil or fuel by road tanker
- Aircraft refuelling Aircraft dispensers and aircraft fuelling tankers
- Army Depot supplies and loading of trucks
- Transport companies Refuelling of locomotives, trucks and public transport coaches
- Marine applications Refuelling of ships
- Mining sites Refuelling of trucks or site machinery
Key Points
- Reduced pressure loss 0,3 to 0.5 bar at maximum flow rate
- Low maintenance costs Simple and robust design with mechanical components interchangeable between the different models
- Stability of measurements Accuracy of measurement guaranteed over a period of many years without any drift in the calibration curve
- Modular design Wide range of accessories for performing customized measurement applications
- Robust construction Flowmeter manifold separated from measurement chamber to eliminate any possible influence of external mechanical stresses on measurement. Few moving parts
