P.D. Meters
P.D. meter (Positive Displacement meter) is a very reliable flow meter type. P.D. flow meters measure the volumetric flow rate of a moving fluid entering a measuring chamber having a fixed and known volume for each meter type. Thanks to their working principle, positive displacement meters can be used even for the measurement of viscous fluids, such as oils, fuels, and solvents that are hardly measured by other meter types.

The ISOIL meter design is just perfect for the use within the aviation industry.
With the main components (body, rotor, covers) made of Stainless Steel 316, the ISOIL SBMX/BMX range of meters is suitable for the use in many applications
The broadest range of ISOIL meters.
The double case design is based on an outer body completely surrounding the internal body (measuring chamber).
When there is no pump and the liquid flows by gravity (when emptying a tank truck in a gas station, for example), ISOIL has the right solution for the flow measure.
When you need the flexibility as the delivery may take either by gravity or by pump
The PD meters working principle is simple: the liquid flows through the meter enclosed within a fixed volume, between the rotor, the covers and the vanes. Each rotation of the meter corresponds therefore to a well-known volume, depending on the meter size. P.d. meters can be equipped with pulse emitters and electronic counters or with mechanical counters either electronic or also purely mechanical.
Positive Displacement flow meters’ performance specifications include: the minimum and maximum measurable flow rate, operating pressure, temperature range, maximum allowable viscosity of the liquid, connection size, and percent accuracy (typically as a percentage of actual reading, not full scale).
Approvals
Thanks to their outstanding accuracy and repeatability, the ISOIL meters meet the requirements of the OIML - International Organisation of Legal Metrology OIML R117.
ISOIL designs specific P.D. meters for use within the aviation industry to be mounted on aircraft refuellers and hydrant dispensers or to measure fuel in the airport terminal during loading/unloading operations.
ISOIL also offers a range of stainless steel P.D. meters, where the main components are made of Stainless Steel 316. The ISOIL SBMX/BMX range of meters is suitable for use in many applications, such as chemical, petrochemical, food industry, etc.
Single-case meters are the broadest range of ISOIL meters since they can be used in many different applications.
Double-case meters have an internal body, where the measuring chamber is, and an external body serving as a pressure vessel. This pd meter type is specifically designed to eliminate the effect of line pressure on the metering accuracy.
For the measurement of liquid flowing by gravity (thus without the use of a pump) ISOIL designs P.D. gravity meters. The range of gravity meters ensures very low pressure drops to work with limited inlet pressure and eliminates the air usually involved in discharge operations.
Pump and gravity meters are perfect for operations that require flexibility because they can perform measurements by both gravity and pump.
