The Smith Meter Model SF-60 is a DN100 (4-inch), single-case, straight-through rotary vane positive displacement meter with a ductile iron housing; the VF-60 is the same meter on a vertical manifold (ductile iron or steel) for installation flexibility. Both are used for blending, batching, dispensing, inventory control and custody transfer of fuels, oils, solvents and chemicals, including truck and rack service. Offset nozzles minimize pressure drop and slippage, the calibrator adjusts in 0.05% steps, and the meters are PED compliant (Ellerbek-built). A load-rack trim is offered for low-lubricity products.
