FILL-RITE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FILL-RITE from 3G Electric.
What accuracy levels do FILL-RITE flowmeters offer?
FILL-RITE positive displacement flowmeters for fuel transfer pumps typically provide an accuracy of ±0.5%. For custody transfer applications, oval gear flowmeters such as the TM06DSHEBXKA4HB achieve ±0.175% accuracy. These specifications are based on the manufacturer's published data and apply to meters used with compatible fluids within their rated flow ranges.
Are FILL-RITE flowmeters available with mechanical or digital displays?
Yes. FILL-RITE offers flowmeters with mechanical displays (e.g., TS15AV13ATCBMXBS4N) and digital displays (e.g., model 820 for chemicals/water). Some models, like the TS15AEDMXATXN, have no display and output a pulse signal for remote totalization. The choice depends on whether local readout or integration with a control system is required.
What housing materials are used in FILL-RITE flowmeters?
FILL-RITE flowmeters are available with anodized aluminum or 316 stainless steel housings. Anodized aluminum is common for standard fuel transfer meters (e.g., TS15 series), while 316 stainless steel is used in models like the TM04DSHEAXKK4HB for improved corrosion resistance in certain fluid applications.
Can FILL-RITE flowmeters be used for custody transfer?
Yes. FILL-RITE offers custody transfer rated oval gear flowmeters, such as the TM06DSHEBXKA4HB, which are designed for inline use with a 3/4-inch BSPP connection and provide ±0.175% accuracy. These meters are suitable for applications where precise measurement is required for billing or regulatory compliance.
What rebuild kits are available for FILL-RITE pumps?
3G Electric supplies FILL-RITE repair kits like the 300KTF7794, which includes a motor shaft seal and is compatible with FR300 series pumps (e.g., FR311). These kits allow maintenance personnel to replace worn seals and extend pump service life without replacing the entire unit.
What connection sizes do FILL-RITE flowmeters come in?
FILL-RITE flowmeters are available in connection sizes from 1/2-inch to 2-inch, with BSPP or FNPT thread types. For example, the TM04DSHEAXKK4HB has a 1/2-inch size, while the TS20AV13BLCBMXBS4N uses a 2-inch connection. Selection depends on pipe diameter and flow rate requirements.
