M-50LPG Series: CE-Certified Volumetric Mechanical Flow meter for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Bulk Transfer)
Precision Engineered for Accuracy, Durability, and Reliability in Demanding LPG Applications
The M-50LPG Series represents the pinnacle of precision mechanical flow measurement technology, specifically engineered for the high-stakes world of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) bulk transfer. Designed to meet rigorous international standards and bearing the CE mark, this positive displacement Flow meter is the trusted solution for operators who require unwavering accuracy, exceptional repeatability, and robust longevity in their critical measurement processes. Whether facilitating the transfer of LPG from refineries to storage terminals, loading and unloading tanker trucks, railcars, or managing precise batching operations within the chemical industry, the M-50LPG stands as a paragon of reliability and performance.
Uncompromising Precision in Every Measurement
At the heart of the M-50LPG's superior performance is its advanced positive displacement mechanism. Unlike inferential flow meters, it measures the actual volume of LPG passing through by repeatedly capturing and filling precise chambers, ensuring direct and highly accurate quantification.
-
Exceptional Accuracy: The meter achieves a remarkable accuracy of ±0.2% across its entire specified flow range. This means that even in high-volume transactions, measurement uncertainty is minimized, protecting both the seller and buyer from significant financial discrepancies over time.
-
Outstanding Repeatability: With a repeatability of ≤0.05%, the M-50LPG guarantees consistent results measurement after measurement. This ensures that every batch, every load, and every transaction is performed with identical precision, eliminating variability and building trust in your operational data.
-
Superior Fine-Adjustment Mechanism: A key feature of the M-50LPG is its excellent stepless (infinite) adjustment mechanism. This allows for meticulous calibration and micro-adjustment of the meter, ensuring it maintains its pinpoint accuracy throughout its long service life, even after prolonged use in challenging conditions.
Engineered for Resilience and Long-Term Performance
Constructed to withstand the harsh realities of industrial environments, the M-50LPG is built for decades of dependable service.
-
Robust Construction Materials: To suit various application requirements and fluid compatibilities, the M-50LPG is available in a selection of high-grade materials, including Aluminum, Cast Iron, and Stainless Steel. This flexibility allows for optimal corrosion resistance and mechanical strength tailored to your specific needs.
-
Extended Service Life with Minimal Maintenance: The ingenious design of the measurement chamber ensures no metal-to-metal contact between moving parts. This drastically reduces wear and tear, the primary cause of meter failure and drift in accuracy. The use of advanced engineering polymers like polyacetal resin for key components further enhances this durability. These materials are highly resistant to the effects of LPG, are less affected by external environmental factors, and contribute significantly to a long, maintenance-free operational life.
-
Ergonomic and User-Centric Design: The meter features a clockwise return-to-zero handwheel. This operation is intuitively designed to align with natural human movement, reducing strain on the user and minimizing wear on the connecting parts during the reset process.
Operational Independence and Efficiency
The M-50LPG is designed to perform consistently regardless of fluctuating process conditions, making it a truly dependable measurement device.
-
Immunity to Process Variables: A significant advantage of this volumetric design is that its accuracy remains unaffected by pressure fluctuations, temperature changes, and variations in viscosity (within its specified range of 30 to 1,500,000 SSU). This ensures reliable measurements from start to finish, even if inlet pressure or fluid temperature changes during the transfer process.
-
Low Pressure Loss: As a true positive displacement meter, it operates with very low pressure drop, minimizing the energy required to pump LPG through the system. This translates to lower operational costs and reduced strain on pumping equipment.
-
Wide Operational Envelope: The meter operates effectively within a broad ambient temperature range of -20°C to +65°C and can handle system pressures up to 10 bar (150 psi), making it suitable for virtually all climatic conditions and standard LPG transfer pressures.
Advanced, High-Visibility Data Presentation
In fast-paced industrial settings, quickly and accurately reading measurement data is paramount. The M-50LPG is equipped with a state-of-the-art fuel flow counter designed for clarity and speed.
-
Large Digital Display: The counter boasts an easy-to-read and highly visible large digital structure. This large format enhances readability from a distance and under various lighting conditions, preventing misreading and ensuring operational efficiency.
-
Dual Counting Capability: The integrated electronic counter provides an 8-digit total accumulator for lifetime volume tracking and a 5-digit batch or single transfer volume register. This allows operators to simultaneously monitor the total throughput while precisely measuring individual transactions without the need for manual calculation.
-
High-Speed Counting Reliability: Utilizing advanced new materials and electronic components, the counter performs reliably even during high-flow-rate counting, ensuring that no pulses are missed and every liter is accounted for with absolute accuracy.
