About Flowmeter for Tanker Unloading
This digital fuel flow meter is designed for accurate, reliable measurement of fuel liquids (diesel, petrol, kerosene, light oils) in industrial, commercial and agricultural applications. The unit features a robust turbine/rotor mechanism, microprocessor based electronics, and a clear digital LCD display for real time flow rate and cumulative total.It is ideal for fuel loading/unloading, generator fuel usage tracking, diesel dispensers, tank truck metering, and other fluid flow monitoring.Reliable Measurement for High-Volume UnloadingThe FM-TU Series Flowmeter is purpose-built for accurate and rapid tanker unloading of bulk liquids. Its high repeatability, wide measurement range, and instant response time enable efficient bulk transfer processes with minimal manual intervention. The meter's robust construction and weatherproof design provide protection and long-term durability even in challenging conditions, ensuring consistent operational efficiency for distributors, suppliers, and service providers alike.
Easy Operation and MaintenanceWith an intuitive mechanical counter and bright LED power indicator, the FM-TU Series is easy to use. Minimal maintenance is required due to its straightforward design and corrosion-resistant housing. If recalibration is needed, field options are available alongside factory calibration. The flowmeter can be mounted using standard threaded or flanged connections, making installation and removal efficient. Cleaning is convenient, further reducing equipment downtime.
FAQ's of Flowmeter for Tanker Unloading:
Q: How is the FM-TU Series flowmeter installed for tanker unloading operations?
A: The FM-TU Series flowmeter is typically mounted inline or via flanged connections, fitting standard tank openings. Depending on your site's configuration, ANSI flange or BSP threaded connections can be used. The device supports both horizontal axis mounting and custom cut sizes to match your tank setup.
Q: What media can be measured with this flowmeter and what is its measurement range?
A: This flowmeter accurately measures diesel, oil, water, and various chemicals. It can handle large batch volumes, supporting measurements ranging from 10 liters up to 100,000 liters, with a mechanical counter displaying up to 99,999 liters per transaction and a resolution of 0.1 liter.
Q: When is recalibration required and how is it performed?
A: The FM-TU Series is factory calibrated for immediate use. However, you may perform field calibration if your process specifications change or routine verification indicates a shift in accuracy. Field calibration procedures are straightforward and ensure ongoing precision in bulk fluid handling.
Q: Where can the flowmeter be used with respect to environmental conditions?
A: Thanks to its IP65 rating and weatherproof enclosure, the flowmeter can be used both outdoors and indoors in demanding tanker unloading environments across India. Its operation spans ambient temperatures from -10C to 60C, with storage tolerances from -20C to 80C.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this flowmeter for bulk tanker unloading?
A: Key benefits include high measurement accuracy and repeatability, reduced maintenance due to robust, corrosion-resistant construction, and flexibility in media handled. Its instant response time and clear mechanical display support efficient bulk unloading, helping operators save time and avoid costly errors.
Q: How does the output and connectivity work with on-site monitoring systems?
A: The flowmeter offers both mechanical counter display and electronic output (pulse up to 100 Hz, optional 4-20 mA signal). It is compatible with wired connectivity, allowing integration with local or centralized monitoring systems for automated data logging and process control.
