The Smith Meter microLoad.net is a microprocessor-based electronic preset for single-arm, single-product loading and unloading. It runs stand-alone or under an automation/SCADA system, and handles refined products from LPG to asphalt as well as crude oil LACT service with BS&W monitoring, sampling and diverting. Built-in web server, Ethernet, configurable load ticket, additive control and automated proving make it a compact weights-and-measures approved controller for bulk plants, docks and lease sites.
