Suitable for
Measuring the transfer of diesel, petrol and kerosene
Flow rate
15 L/min to 120 L/min
Maximum Pressure
3 bar (50psi)
Weight
2.0kg
Ac1.0%
Inlet/Outlet connections 1” BSP (F)
Operating Instructions
1 Configure the meter in an orientation that suits your application i.e.: by
undoing screws at the base of the meter and reorientate the meter so that
the inlet and outlet of the meter suit your application.
2 Connect the meter inlet to the hose or fixed fitting that the product is being
delivered through.
3 Once threads connected and completely sealed with thread tape, open the
tanks on/off valve or start up the pump.
4 Diesel fuel, petrol or kerosene will now start to flow through to the
mechanical flow meter turning over the batch recording digits and totaliser
recording digits
Important To Note:
The 51008 and 51008F fuel meters are pre-calibrated in factory to be used
with diesel fuel. As specific operating conditions (such as real flow rate,
the viscosity and temperature of the measured fluid) may affect the meter
accuracy, a recalibration should be carried out after the installation has
been completed. A new calibration is necessary each time the meter is
disassembled for maintenance operations or when it is used to measure fluids
that differ from diesel fuel.
Calibration Procedure
1 Unscrew the plug (Part No. 51008-4)
2 Purge the system (pump, pipelines, meter) of air by dispensing until the
flow of diesel fuel is full and steady.
3 Stop the flow by shutting off the nozzle, but keep the pump running.
4 Reset the batch register by means of the reset know
(Part No. 51008-2).
5 Dispense at the flow rate which the best accuracy is required at, by using
a calibration container having a capacity not less than 20L. Do not reduce
the flow in order to reach the graduated zone of the calibration container.
The right way to do this is to start and stop the flow rate repeatedly until the
required filling is obtained.
6 Compare the indication of the calibration with the one of the meter. If the
indicated value is higher than the real value, loosen the screw
(Part No.51008-13) if the indicated value is lower than the real value,
tighten the screw (Part No. 51008-13).
Description
The 51008 mechanical fuel meter has an aluminium body incorporating an inlet and outlet flange and can meter fuel accurately
between 15 and 120 L/min. Featuring an oscillating plate, the meter incorporates bypasses which enable the meter to be used on
different petroleum based liquids of varying viscosity’s. The meter features rotational inlet/outlet for vertical or horizontal applications.
The meter includes a set of resetable digits that need to be reset to zero before the meter is to be used to record its next batch
reading. The meter can be supplied with a 1”BSP (f) filter, an optional extra (Part No. 51008F) or without the filter (Part No. 51008.)
Specifications
7 Repeat the operations 4 to 6 until accuracy is satisfactory.
8 Tighten the plug (Part No. 51008-14) again. The O’Ring (Part No. 51008-11) which the calibration screw is
provided with has the function to avoid accidental loosening of the adjustment screw but does not facilitate
any sealing function.
