splashing  or  spillage

  Change 

saturated  clothing  and  wash  skin 

contact areas promptly with soap 

and water

This  meter  is  designed  for  the  field 

measurement  of  thin  viscosity 

petroleum fuels only and intended for 

use with pump systems up to 40 GPM 

(150 LPM) 

flow 

range (not intended for 

gravity 

flow 

systems)

 Using mechanical 

gears, these meters translate 

flow 

data 

from positive displacement oval gears 

into calibrated units which are indicated 

on the face of the meter

 This meter is 

factory calibrated for diesel fuel

 Field 

calibration feature is available for other 

fluids, see Calibration section�
