Diesel Flow Meter Systems for Fuel Accountability
Chintan Engineers designs positive displacement and helical flow meters that capture every litre of diesel, petrol, and specialty fluids. Mechanical and digital registers, pulse/analog outputs, and wide viscosity tolerance make these meters dependable for dispensers, batching skids, and custody transfer setups.

Selection & Engineering Guidance
- Fluid properties: Use CE-110/111 for diesel, kerosene, light oils; step up to CE-113 for custody transfer or higher accuracy. CE-210 covers wide viscosity swings and pulsating flows.
- متطلبات الإشارة: Decide between mechanical display only, digital registers, or pulse/analog outputs for PLC/SCADA logging.
- Installation envelope: Match line size and straight-run recommendations; include upstream filtration and air elimination for best accuracy.
- Environmental rating: Specify flameproof enclosures, stainless bodies, or high-temperature seals when required by site conditions.
- اندماج: Combine with preset controllers, ticket printers, or remote monitoring (CE-216) for closed-loop accounting.
التركيب والمعايرة والدعم
- Site assessment: Verify line layout, straight lengths, filtration, and mounting orientation for the selected meter type.
- Mechanical & electrical fitment: Install isolation valves, strainers, and unions; wire pulse/analog outputs or printer interfaces as needed.
- Initial proving: Run volume proving with certified prover can, adjust calibration wheel (CE-113) or digital K-factor per site fluid.
- Documentation & sealing: Issue calibration certificate, apply metrology seals/lead wires if required, and log baseline readings.
- دعم دورة الحياة: Schedule quarterly verification, maintain spare seal kits, and log firmware/K-factor changes for audit trails.
Integration & Data Logging
- Pulse and 4–20 mA outputs tie into batching PLCs or ERP fuel accounting modules.
- Optional ticket printers and data loggers (CE-172) create transaction trails for every batch.
- Remote monitoring packages push live totals via GSM/LoRa for unmanned depots.
الأسئلة الشائعة
Do these meters work with biodiesel or viscous oils?
Yes. Positive displacement designs (CE-110/111/113) handle viscosities from diesel up to heavy oils; specify seals accordingly.
What accuracy can I expect in the field?
Standard PD meters deliver ±0.5 % after installation; CE-113 and CE-212 achieve ±0.2 % when proved on-site.
Can I integrate the meter with preset dispensers?
CE-111 and CE-212 include pulse outputs that connect to preset controllers and printers for automated dispensing.
How often should the meter be calibrated?
Perform proving after installation, then annually or per local Legal Metrology requirements, especially for custody-transfer applications.
Is there a mobile option?
CE-113 can be trolley-mounted with printer and hose kits for on-site custody transfer or bowser deployments.
