Specifications
M-5 Meter

Liquid Controls M and MA Series rotary motion positive
displacement (PD) meters offer the ultimate in m easu rem ent
accuracy for custody transfer of petroleum products,
aviation fuels, LPG and a broad of industrial liquids.

Superior performance featur es

Low pressu r e dr op – w ill operate on gravity flow or pump

pressure.
Sustained accur acy – no metal-to-metal contact inside the

measuring chamber means minimal wear and deterioration
in accuracy over time, fewer recalibrations and a longer
service life. Meters conform to NIST and International
Weight and Measu res accuracy requirem ent s.

Wide viscosity range – LCE meters can accurately meter
products from less than 30 SSU (1 cP) to 1500000 SSU
(325000 cP).

Maximum adaptability - choice of stock or custom
elbows/fittings provides unequaled mounting flexibility to
meet widely varying installation requirements.
