- Connection: 2-Inch 125/150# ANSI Flat Face Flange
- Turndown Ratio: 400:1
- Max Pressure: 175 PSI
- Pressure & Temperature Compensation: Ensures accurate readings even in changing conditions.
- Battery Life: 15-20 Year Lithium Battery Operated Digital Display.
- Pulse Output: 1 Pulse Per 10 CUFH.
- Included Accessories: 8-Ounce Meter Oil.
What is Positive Displacement Flow?
Positive displacement flow meters function like a hydraulic pump operating in reverse. Within the meter, moving parts fill a chamber with a specific amount of gas, which is then expelled. This cycle repeats, and since the volume per revolution is a fixed value, the meter provides accurate and reliable measurements.
It’s similar to using a measuring cup that fills, empties, and repeats. Each rotation “batches” a precise volume from the inlet to the outlet, making these meters ideal for applications with intermittent flow, as they operate only when gas is flowing. Their precise and consistent readings are also valuable for improving monthly billing efficiency in gas metering systems, ensuring accurate usage tracking for consumers and utility companies.
Versatile Output Options:
Choose from three output versions to fit your needs:
- Conduit Connection Output with 4-foot pigtail wire (5-15 VDC).
- Circular Connector Output with a weather-proof screw cap (optional Pulse Output Cable available).
- Cable Gland (5-15 VDC).
Advanced Data Logging & Alarms
With the Windows User Terminal Software and IMC to PC Programming Cable, you can easily connect the gas meter to your laptop or desktop. This allows you to access, configure, and monitor an extensive range of settings.

Low Pressure Differentials
A low-pressure differential in a process pipeline improves energy efficiency, reduces wear and tear on equipment, enhances process stability, and helps maintain product quality by minimizing shear stress. It also lowers the risk of leaks and failures, optimizes heat transfer, and supports sustainability efforts by reducing energy consumption and emissions, ultimately leading to more reliable and cost-effective operations.
