Extremely reliable PD Meter for LPG, petroleum products for trucks and stationery applications
LC/SAMPI Meters
LC SAMPI Flow Meters and Measurement Systems – LPG & Ammonia
LC MA®- und MSA-Serie PD METERS
MA® and MSA Series Positive Displacement (PD) Flow Meters – Liquid Controls / LC SAMPI
The MA® and MSA series Positive Displacement (PD) meters from Liquid Controls in Class 10 and Class 12 are considered the industry standard for safe and highly accurate transfer of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) and ammonia (NH₃), both in gaseous and liquefied states.
Their simple, robust design combined with consistently high accuracy is why operators worldwide rely on LC meters for reliable metering, billing, and transfer of liquefied hydrocarbon gases.
Key Advantages of LC/ SAMPI PD Flow Meters
- Long-Term Accuracy: The elimination of metal-to-metal contact within the measuring chamber ensures minimal drift over the meter’s lifespan, reducing calibration frequency, extending maintenance intervals, and increasing operational safety.
- Standards Compliance: Meets accuracy requirements per NIST and international metrology standards.
- Wide Temperature Range: Reliable and precise measurement of fluids from −40 °F (−40 °C) to +160 °F (71 °C).
- Wide Viscosity Range: Accurate handling of liquids from <1 cP (30 SSU) to 325,000 cP (1,500,000 SSU).
- Maximum Installation Flexibility: Right-angle design combined with standard or custom elbows and fittings allows seamless integration into varied installation conditions.
- High Pressure Rating: Designed for a maximum operating pressure of 350 psi (24 bar).
