MP-180 Meter
Liquid Controls MP Series Bi-Rotor Positive Displacement
(PD) Meters offer the ultimate in m easu rement accuracy for
custody transfer of petroleum and aviation fuels.
Superior performance featur es
Low pressure drop – the straight-thr ough path and floating rotor
design cr eates a very low pressure dr op at maxi mum flow.
Sustai n ed accur acy – no metal-to-metal contact insi de the
measuring ch amber means mi nimal wear and deterioration i n
accuracy over t ime, fewer recal ibr ations and a longer se rvi ce life.
Wide viscosity range – LC meter s can accuratel y meter
products up to 1000 cP (please consult factor y for higher
viscosity).
Compact design – no upstream or downstream pipe lengths are
necessary.
Double case construction – the measuring unit i s removable, as
a single subassembl y, from the outer flanged.
Low piping vibration – the bi-rotor desi gn produce s very low
piping vi brati ons perm itti ng to reach hi gher flowrates.
