The Smith Meter Model T-20 is a 3-inch, single-case, angle-type rotary vane positive displacement meter with a cast iron housing. It is used for blending, batching, dispensing, inventory control and custody transfer of oils, solvents, chemicals, paints, fats and fertilizers, and is often packaged with a strainer, LNC counter, preset counter and SPG-3 preset valve. Offset inlet and outlet nozzles minimize pressure drop across the measuring chamber, and the calibrator adjusts in 0.05% steps.

How to specify / order
The bulletin gives an ordering checklist rather than a position-by-position model code. Provide the following with your RFQ:
Application: Batching, loading, blending, inventory, process control
Operating conditions: Liquid name and gravity; minimum/normal/maximum flow, temperature and viscosity; maximum working pressure
Seals: Meter: Buna-N (standard), Viton or PTFE; SPG-3 valve: Buna-N or Viton
Units of registration: Gallons, liters, pounds, kilograms
Inlet/outlet position: 1-A standard; specify another position (e.g. 2-C) if needed
Options / accessories: All-iron trim, high-viscosity or high-temperature clearances, Y-strainer, LNC counter, preset counter, ticket printer, SPG-3 preset valve
