Designed for the task of controlling the loading and unloading of hydrocarbon liquids in or out of transporting vessels such as tanker trucks, rail cars, ships, storage tanks, and pipelines.

The DL8000 is packaged in a Class 1 Division 1 explosion proof enclosure or a Class 1 Division 2 enclosure. The DL8000 carries approvals from the NTEP National Test and Evaluation Program under the US National Council on Weights and Measures, and CSA/UL approval.

The DL8000 is capable of performing all blending, measurement, control, and monitoring needed to provide highly productive and rapid operations for most common loading configurations used in the industry.

 Correcting volume measurements for changes in temperature in accordance with the American Petroleum Institute (API) MPMS Chapter 11.1, 2004 tables, ASTM-D1250-80, ASTM D-1250-04, API 2540-80, and ISO 91.2.

The DL8000 now provides support for ethanol volume correction based on either the OIML-R22 (1973) or ABNT NBR 5992 standards. Configuring a unit for ethanol product measurement is simple, requiring only the selection of ethanol fluid type, the selection of the preferred standard volume correction and a user-entered mass percentage of ethanol for the ethanol/water mixture.

Correcting for changes in pressure in accordance with the American Petroleum Institute (API), MPMS sections 11.2.1, 11.2.2, 11.2.1(M), 11.2.2(M) for Automatic Pressure Compensation. 3. Correcting for changes in density using density signals in the form of a frequency signal, a 4–20 mA signal, or through digital communications. 4. Checking for pulse fidelity in a dual pulse meter by monitoring the dual pulse inputs for integrity in accordance with API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter 5.5, level B.
