Smith Meter® Model K12 Meter

Brand: TechnipFMC
The Smith Meter Model K12 Meter is a 12", double-case, straight-through-type, rotary vane, positive displacement flow meter and is part of the CT series of large PD meters.

The CT series PD Meters incorporate design features including lightened blades, full-width wear strips, and tungsten carbide roller pins to provide extended service in harsh crude applications.

The crude transportation series is suitable for both crude oil and refined product applications such as blending, batching and leak detection as well as traditional custody transfer applications.
Features
  • High-viscosity meter clearances extend operation at maximum flow rate from 200 to 2,000 millipascal-second (mPa•s)
  • High-temperature clearances extend operating temperatures from 115 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) (46 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 K12-S3

Specifications

Maximum Flow Rate

  • Continuous Rating with Standard Trim: 7200 BPH / 1140 m³/h
  • Continuous Rating with All Iron or LPG Trim: 5400 BPH / 855 m³/h

Repeatability

  • ± 0.02 %

Viscosity

  • Standard: 200 mPa.s³ (1,000 SSU) maximum
