Linux operating system with ethernet and serial communications for networking

Smith Meter® Turbine Meter

A rimmed, rotor-type meter with helical blades, the TechnipFMC Sentry series turbine meters utilizes both an upstream and downstream stator and has tungsten carbide bearings with a hydrodynamic thrust balance system. It provides highly accurate measurement required for custody transfer of petroleum liquids such as crude oil and refined products in larger pipelines.

Bidirectional flow allows the meter to accurately register flow in either direction
Multiple pickup coils are used when direction sensing or pulse security is required
A third pickup coil is available to drive auxiliary equipment, such as a back-up counter or prover. ±0.10% and ±0.07% linearity available
High-resolution (HR) output available on 4″ through 8″ meters to increase the pulse output per unit volume to allow proving with a smaller-size pipe prover

Smith Meter® Prime4 PD Meter

A single-case positive displacement meter designed for maximum accuracy and reliability, the PD Meter is ideal for loading rack service and custody transfer of petroleum products. Applications include gasolines and oxygenates, ethanol, kerosene, diesel fuel, jet fuels, and fuel oils.

Minimal slippage for outstanding linearity and maximum accuracy
Unique flow pattern minimizes pressure drop to less than 3.2 psi at extended maximum flow
Unique design with only three moving parts results in low initial cost and minimum maintenance; direct pulse output eliminates the mechanical drive train resulting in fewer parts to fail and removes the need for a packing gland
Horizontal rotor and specially designed journal bearings minimize wear and lead to a long service life
Polyketone blades show decreased wear over time keeping the meter stable between proving intervals and resulting in time and cost savings
