7.6.2 Flowmeter (fitted to all systems)
1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The K33 meter is a mechanical flowmeter with nutating disk, designed toallow a precise
measurement of Diesel oil or other fluids compatible with the manufacturing material. The
nutating disk of the metering chamber (see diagram 1, drawing “15”), which is set in motion
by the fluid itself, drives thegear train located in the cover of themeter body (drawing “8”)
which transmits the motion to the meter (pos. “6”). The meter is equipped with a non-
resettable litre totaliser and a batch register which can be reset by means of a knob (Pos. “2”)
whose unit digit is provided with marks for the readout of the tenths of a litre.
To ensure a proper and safe use of the meter it is necessary to read and follow the instructions and warnings
contained in this manual. An improper installation or use of the meter may cause damage to objects and people.
