FMC Flow Meter Catalog: Legacy Positive Displacement Meters and Fuel Distribution Skid Spares
Quick Answer: Silver Automation Instruments supplies replacement spares and complete flow meters for fuel distribution skids running legacy FMC positive displacement meters. We cover Southeast Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. Send a data plate photo, fluid type, DN size and flow range for a firm quote.
Why Legacy FMC Positive Displacement Meters Still Run Fuel Distribution Skids
Many fuel depots still run FMC positive displacement meters because the meter bodies last for decades. The weak points are the wearable parts inside. A diesel fuel distribution skid in Vietnam or Indonesia often runs 8 to 16 hours per day. The meter operates at 10 bar and ambient temperatures from 25 to 40 °C. It measures diesel, gasoline, biodiesel blends or jet fuel. We see 15 year old FMC PD meters on truck loading skids more often than most suppliers expect.
In practice, plant managers do not replace a working PD meter unless the calibration factor drifts too far. They replace the rotor, bearing plate set, seal kit and register. That is why the FMC flow meter catalog for legacy positive displacement meters still matters.
What the FMC Flow Meter Catalog Tells You and What It Leaves Out
The FMC flow meter catalog gives you base model data, flange ratings, flow ranges and sometimes parts breakdown drawings. But many legacy positive displacement meters in the field are older than the current catalog revision. Some OEM spare part numbers have changed. Some have been discontinued. Most engineers skip this part until the skid is down.
Here is the thing. You do not need a full OEM part number to get the right spare. You need the meter serial number, size, flange standard and the fluid on the nameplate. A clear photo of the nameplate from the last maintenance check is enough in most cases. Silver Automation Instruments checks this against the FMC flow meter catalog data and our own cross reference library.
Common Spare Parts for Legacy Positive Displacement Meters on Fuel Skids
Common spares for legacy FMC positive displacement meters on fuel distribution skids include rotor assemblies, bearing plate sets, shaft seals, packing glands, O-ring kits, register drive couplings, mechanical preset valves and air eliminator internals. In diesel service, the rotors and bearing plates usually wear first. In gasoline service, the elastomers and mechanical seals fail faster because the fluid is lighter and the pump runs at higher speed.
We also supply skid mounted parts that stop the whole fuel distribution line. These include strainer baskets, pulse transmitters, temperature wells, PT100 sensors, pressure transmitters and batch controllers. If your FMC flow meter catalog page shows a complete skid assembly, send us the page. We can often identify the subcomponents even when the OEM no longer keeps them in stock.
How to Send a Quote Request That Gets a Firm Price Faster
Send us six details. Fluid type and viscosity, operating flow range in L/min or m
Do not only send a model number from the FMC flow meter catalog. A model number alone can hide many variants. A data plate photo solves that problem. For example, a DN50 meter may have a 150 lb steel body or a 300 lb steel body. The bearing plate material can be carbon graphite, PPS or ceramic. The seal material changes with biodiesel blends.
Silver Instruments Replacement Flow Meters for Fuel Distribution Skids
When a full replacement makes more sense, Silver Instruments supplies oval gear flow meters for diesel and light fuels. Our model SOG-50 fits DN50 lines and handles 20 to 200 L/min. The model SOG-80 fits DN80 lines and handles 40 to 600 L/min. Both are compatible with pulse output, 4-20 mA HART and batch control terminals. For ATEX Zone 1 areas we can match Ex d or Ex ia electronics.
Last year a diesel terminal in Vietnam asked us for six FMC positive displacement meter rotor kits. The meters were installed in 2009 on truck loading skids. Each meter had a DN50 connection and ran at 80 to 180 L/min. The totalizer drift against the master meter was 1.8 percent. We supplied rotor assemblies and bearing plate kits from stock. The skids returned to service without changing the meter bodies.
FAQ
Question 1: Do you stock FMC flow meter catalog legacy positive displacement meter spares?
Answer: Yes. We stock common rotor assemblies, bearing plate kits, seal kits, O-ring kits and mechanical register parts for DN15 to DN150 meters.
Question 2: Can you supply complete fuel distribution skid spares or only the meter parts?
Answer: We supply both. Items include strainer baskets, air eliminators, preset valves, pulse transmitters, PT100 sensors and batch controllers.
Question 3: What details do you need for a quote?
Answer: Send the nameplate photo, fluid type, flow range, DN size, flange rating and delivery port. For replacement electronics also send the hazardous area certificate requirement.
Question 4: Do you ship to Southeast Asia, Australia, the Middle East and Africa?
Answer: Yes. We ship by DHL, FedEx, air freight and sea freight to most industrial ports in these regions. We can also pack and mark the shipment according to your local customs broker instructions.
Question 5: What is the typical lead time for legacy PD meter parts?
Answer: Stock items ship within 5 days. Non stock parts take 10 to 20 days depending on the material and the machining step.
