Benefits of using ISOIL measurement systems for aviation ground fuelling, including outstanding accuracy

The ISOIL meter design offers several features that make it highly suitable for use within the aviation industry, particularly in refueling applications.

• Material Compatibility: ISOIL meters are designed to be compatible with a wide range of materials commonly used in aviation fuelling, such as jet fuel (Jet A, Jet A-1), aviation gasoline (Avgas), and other specialized aviation fuels. This ensures that the meters can accurately measure and handle these fluids without any adverse effects on their performance or accuracy.
  
  
• Surface Treatment: ISOIL aviation systems undergo specific surface treatments to enhance their durability and resistance to corrosion, which is crucial for aviation applications. This treatment helps protect the meters from the potentially corrosive nature of aviation fuels, ensuring their longevity and accurate performance over an extended period.
  
  
• Extended Flow Rate Range: The ISOIL meters are designed to handle a wide range of flow rates, allowing them to accommodate various refuelling scenarios within the aviation industry. Whether it is refuelling large commercial aircraft using dedicated refueling vehicles (aircraft refuellers) or smaller airplanes and helicopters with refueling modules, ISOIL meters can accurately measure the fuel flow at different rates.
  
  
• Accuracy and Reliability: ISOIL solutions are known for their high accuracy and reliability, providing precise fuel flow measurements. This is crucial in the aviation industry, where safety and accuracy are of paramount importance. Accurate fuel measurement ensures that the correct amount of fuel is dispensed, avoiding underfilling or overfilling, which can lead to operational issues and potential hazards.
  
  
• Compliance with Industry Standards: ISOIL aviation ground fuelling systems comply with relevant international standards and certifications applicable to the aviation industry.
  
  

Overall, the ISOIL components design is highly suitable for various aviation refuelling applications, providing accurate and reliable fuel measurement, contributing to efficiency, safety, and smooth operations within the aviation industry.
