Description
Product Overview
The M-80 TCS Positive Displacement Flow meter represents the gold standard in precision measurement technology for critical hydrocarbon transfer operations. Engineered specifically for custody transfer applications of petroleum products, refined fuels, aviation fuels, and a wide spectrum of industrial liquids, this Flow meter combines exceptional accuracy with robust durability. As part of the advanced M Series of precision measurement instruments, the M-80 TCS incorporates innovative rotary motion positive displacement technology that ensures reliable performance in the most demanding operating environments. The meter's sophisticated design makes it ideal for pipeline transfer terminals, tank farm operations, loading rack systems, and any application where measurement accuracy directly impacts operational efficiency and profitability.
Advanced Engineering Design
The M-80 TCS features a revolutionary three-rotor positive displacement system that sets new standards in flow measurement technology. Unlike conventional flow meters that experience performance degradation due to mechanical wear, this meter operates without metal-to-metal contact within the measurement chamber. The unique rotor configuration creates hydraulic sealing through the fluid's own properties rather than through mechanical compression, resulting in exceptional long-term accuracy and minimal maintenance requirements.
This innovative approach ensures minimal flow restriction and exceptionally low pressure drop across the meter, allowing for efficient system operation whether using gravity flow or pump pressure systems. The optimized fluid dynamics significantly reduce energy consumption and operational costs while maintaining the highest standards of measurement precision.
