Smith Meter® 4" Steel Model F4

Brand: TechnipFMC
Request a Quote
The Smith Meter model F4 is a 4", steel, double-case, straight-through (S3 through S8), rotary-vane, positive displacement meter.

Applications for the F4 include blending, batching, dispensing, inventory control, and custody transfer of oils, solvents, chemicals, paints, fats, and fertilizers.
Features
  • Superior accuracy―Smith Meter's rotary-vane meter principle, combined with the meter’s uniquely designed (offset) inlet and outlet nozzles, maximizes accuracy by minimizing pressure drop across the measuring chamber reducing slippage (flow through meter clearances)
  • Low pressure drop―Streamlined flow path provides low pressure drop
  • Positive and accurate registration―High-torque drive calibrator with adjustment in 0.05 percent (%) increments ensures accurate registration
  • Long service life―Low-friction ball bearings, fixed cam-type timing, and rugged construction provide sustained accuracy and long service life
  • Options:
    • High-viscosity meter clearances extend operation at maximum flow rate from 400 to 2,000 millipascal-second (mPa.s)
    • High-temperature clearances extend operating temperatures from 150 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) (65 to 93 degrees Celsius (°C))
    • All iron trim option for operating temperatures above 200°F (93°C)
    • Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) trim option for low-lubricity liquids, such as LPG
    • Compliant with NACE standard MR-01-75
    • ASME Section VIII vessel construction is available for model F4-S3

Specifications

Brand

Maximum Flow Rate

  • Continuous Rating with Standard Trim: 600 USGPM (2250 L/min)
  • Intermittent Rating with Standard Trim: 750 USGPM (2725 L/min)
  • Continuous/Intermittent Rating with all Iron or LPG Trim: 450 USGPM (1700 L/min)

Repeatability

  • ± 0.02 %

Viscosity

  • Standard: 400 mPa.s (2,000 Seconds Saybolt Universal (SSU)) maximum
  • Optional: 2 pascal seconds (Pa.s) (10,000 SSU) maximum and specify “High Viscosity Meter Clearances”
  • Over 2 Pa.s: Specify ”High Viscosity Meter Clearances” and derate maximum flow rate in direct proportion to viscosity over 2 Pa.s. For example, at 4 Pa.s, derate maximum flow rate to 50 % of normal continuous rating 210 USGPM
