The Smith Meter Model C2 is a 2-inch, steel, double-case, straight-through rotary vane positive displacement (PD) meter used for custody transfer, batching, blending, dispensing and inventory control of petroleum products, oils, solvents, chemicals and similar liquids. Smith's offset inlet and outlet nozzles keep pressure drop across the measuring chamber low, which minimizes slippage and preserves accuracy, and a high-torque calibrator adjusts registration in 0.05% steps.

How to read the model code
Example: KC2S3GBS00. Read the code left to right; each position selects one option:
Position 1 (Catalog code): K = catalog code
Positions 2-3 (Model / size): C2 = 2 in
Position 4 (Flow path): S = straight-through
Position 5 (Pressure class, RF flanges): 3 = Class 150 (285 psi); 6 = Class 300 (740 psi); 7 = Class 600 (1,480 psi). Legacy S1 (Class 150, 150 psi) and S5 (Class 300, 300 psi) ratings also exist
Position 6 (Meter gearing): G = gallons; B = barrels; D = dekaliters; I = imperial gallons; P = pounds (consult factory for I and P)
Position 7 (Seals): B = Buna-N; V = FKM; T = PTFE; L = low-temperature FKM
Position 8 (Trim): S = standard; A = all iron; L = LPG
Position 9 (Temperature compensation): 0 = none; A = ATC (factory-set); B = ATG (field-adjustable)
Position 10 (Special requirements): 0 = standard; P = EU PED (Ellerbek-built); C = CRN + low-temp material; L = low-temp material
