Positive Displacement Metering

Distinguished as the centrepiece of FMC Measurement Solutions vast liquid measurement product line, the Smith Positive Displacement Meter performs with unsurpassed accuracy and durability combined with high stability, low pressure drop, long service life and ease of maintenance.

PD Meters for Petroleum Transportation
FMC Measurement Solutions PD Meters are the most accurate for volume measurement, especially with high and medium viscosity petroleum products. The double-case PD meters are engineered to operate with low pressure drop and low slippage. These significant design features, coupled with precision manufacturing, provide the superior accuracy and stability that translate into cost savings at the pipeline station.

PD Meters for Petroleum Terminals & Bulk Plants
PD meters are the ones to trust in applications where reliability and accuracy are critical. At petroleum marketing terminals, where reliability, increased throughput, and minimal downtime and maintenance are essential, the PRIME 4 offers the perfect solution. The innovative design features of the PRIME 4 - polyketone blades, a super hardened cam, rugged wear resistant bearings, a horizontal rotor and direct pulse output - combine the advantages of a turbine meter with the stability of a traditional PD meter. Engineered for trouble free performance, the PRIME 4 provides the best in accurate, reliable, and affordable measurement of liquids at the marketing terminal.

PD Meters for Petroleum Production
PD meters are the most accurate and stable meters available for volume measurement, especially for high and medium viscosity petroleum products. When crude is heavy, volume is high, measurement is unattended and reliability is a necessity, the PD meter provides absolute accuracy and stability. PD meters utilise a direct flow measurement principle that is unaffected by variations in velocity and viscosity, making it the ideal choice for petroleum production applications.

Truck Meter Packages
FMC Measurement Solutions PD Truck Meter packages are designed for flexibility and reliability under the most demanding custody transfer applications. The Truck Meter package is designed to satisfy all legal accuracy requirements and to maintain extended accuracy under severe operating conditions. Packages are engineered to be manual or fully automated, based on the optional equipment selected including combination air eliminators/strainers, mechanical counters, preset controllers and preset valves. Because of their modular component design and arrangement flexibility, FMC Measurement Solutions Truck Meter packages can be readily fit into nearly any installation.

Aviation Meters
FMC Measurement Solutions Aviation PD meters provide unsurpassed accuracy and durability for demanding fuelling operations. The non-ferrous single case aircraft fuelling meters operate under the same proven principle that minimizes pressure drop across the measuring chamber to maximize accuracy and service life. Available in both straight through or right angle flow paths, the meter allows a versatility to make it the ideal choice for aircraft fuelling applications.
