M-Series Positive Displacement Flow Meters

Materials of Construction
Meter and rotors:
Cast aluminum (other metalurgies available
including cast iron and stainless steel)
Internal components:
Aluminum, Ni-Resist, stainless steel, iron
Seal materials:
Buna-N, Viton, PTFE
Bearings:
Carbon, PTFE, Ni-Resist
Liquid Controls M-Series meters meet NTEP (NIST
Handbook 44) and International Weights and Measures
accuracy requirements as well as U.S. Military
specifications.

Design Features
Liquid Controls M-Series rotary motion positive displacement (PD) meters offer the ultimate in measurement
accuracy for custody transfer of petroleum products, aviation fuels, LPG, and a broad range of industrial
liquids. LC meters incorporate a unique design, presenting minimal intrusion in a flowing stream of liquid, as
well as minimal pressure drop through the meter. The LC meter consists of a housing in which three
synchronized rotors turn with no metal-to-metal contact. Hydraulic sealing is accomplished by a stationary
boundary layer of liquid, not by the wiping action of mechanical parts
Low pressure dropwill operate on gravity flow or pump pressure.
Sustained accuracyno wear from metal-to-metal contact inside the measuring chamber means
minimal deterioration in accuracy over time, fewer recalibrations, and longer service life. Meters
conform to NIST and International Weights and Measures accuracy requirements.
Wide temperature rangeproducts can be metered accurately from -40 F (-40 C) to 160 F
(71C).
Wide viscosity rangeLC meters can accurately meter products from less than 30 SSU (less than 1
centipoise) to 1,500,000 SSU (325,000 centipoise).
Maximum adaptabilityright angle design with choice of stock or custom elbows/ fittings provides
unequaled mounting flexibility to meet your installation requirements.
Rated to 150psi / 10.5 BAR.
