Gasoline and diesel fuel measurement

Automotive and transportation industries rely on Max flow meters for gasoline and diesel fuel measurement. With their high resolution, +/-0.2% linearization and low flow rate accuracy MAX-Meters are the leading choice for both dynamometer and over-the-road testing. The Max Model 213 meter offers 1000+ pulses per ml and as a positive displacement device, all of the flow is detected and reported, regardless of how low a flow rate you need to measure.
 

Max Equipment Specified: The Max 213 Piston type meter offers a 1000 pulse/ml resolution which exceeds the resolution available from any other meter. With such a high pulse count per milliliter, the Model 213 can accurately measure the idle speed fuel consumption of a single cylinder engine like those used on leaf blowers, chain saws or outboard motors. Auxiliary equipment also available from Max includes; vapor eliminators to ensure a bubble free fuel supply and recirculation tanks for the highest possible accuracy in a recirculating fuel system.
 

APPLICATION PROFILE: Fuel consumption continues to be a primary measure of success in automotive improvements. Better tire designs, ignition control, transmission shift points or a hundred other CAFE improvements must be proven through the accurate measurement of a small amount of liquid flow. To verify product performance and evaluate engineering improvements requires a fuel flow meter which can resolve the total flow to better than 1/100th of a milliliter.

Positive Displacement meters are not sensitive to changes in flow profile, fluid density or viscosity. So the same flow meter is appropriate for gasoline, diesel fuel or any methanol or ethanol blend. The Model 213’s rugged, compact design makes it possible to collect both over-the-road data and your test stand measurements with the same sensor. Theoretical results and correlations are not required when you use the same flow meter in both environments.

The Max 213 flow meters are uniquely suited to the wide range of fuel flow measurement rates. To refine the components and systems used in the next generation of automobiles and trucks, industry leaders are turning to Max flow meters for flow accuracy that will give them the edge.
