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.
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 is separated from measurement chamber to eliminate any possible influence of external mechanical stresses on measurement accuracy.
