Meter System Accessories

Flow Controls metering systems provide a range of accessories that work perfectly with FC Flow meters and registers, seamlessly fitting into the equipment for each specific application.

Valve

1. Mechanical VFC Series Valves (V50, V80, V100)

VFC Preset Valves are designed to work with a mechanical preset, automatically shutting off the flow once a specified amount of product has been delivered. These valves can be set for either single-stage or two-stage shutdowns.

Single-stage shutdowns are ideal for slower flow rates or thicker products where hydraulic shock is less of a concern. The two-stage shutdown option slows the flow rate before completely stopping, helping to prevent hydraulic shock.

Meter System Accessories

Specifications:

VFC-50 Valves:
  • Compatible with FCM-50, FCM-50-NX-1, FCV-50
  • Rated for up to 150 psi
  • The VFC series is designed for use with FCM50, FCM-50-NX-1 meters with mechanical registration.
  • The valve can be adjusted in 90° increments, allowing the outlet to face up, down, back, or front.
VFC-80 & VFC-100 Valves:
  • Aluminum construction for FCM-80, FCM-100
  • Rated for up to 150 psi
  • The VFC-80 series is compatible with FCM-80 meters, while the VFC-100 series is compatible with FCM-100 all with mechanical registration.
  • The valve can be adjusted in 90° increments, allowing the outlet to face up, down, back, or front.

2. Air Check Valve FC-CV

Back Check Valves: Prevents counter advancement and backtracking between deliveries by keeping the delivery hose consistently filled with fuel. It also features a built-in pressure relief system.

Spring Loaded Check Valves: Maintains back pressure to enhance the efficiency of air/vapor eliminators and prevents reverse flow.

Specifications:
  • Materials: Back Check Valve: Aluminum; Spring Loaded Check Valve: Cadmium-plated steel
  • Pressure Rating: Back Check Valves are rated up to 350 psi.

3. Electronic Solenoid Valve FC-ESV

The Flow Controls FC-ESV Solenoid Valve, 2-stage preset valves are specifically designed to manage the flow of refined petroleum products such as diesel, gasoline, fuel oils, kerosene, ethylene glycol, and lube oils. These valves can be integrated into a complete Flow Controls positive displacement flow meter system with electronic registration.

Thanks to their less restrictive design, the FC-ESV series valves offer reduced pressure drop and higher potential flow rates, particularly when handling higher-viscosity products.

Key Features:
  • Available in 2”, 3”, and 4” sizes (FC-ESV50, FC-ESV80, FC-ESV100)
  • Low pressure drop
  • High flow rate
  • 2-stage preset valve
  • Ideal for high-viscosity petroleum products
  • Controlled by FC-IOT or Other Digital Displays which supports 12VDC Current Power
Specifications:
  • Temperature Rating: -4° to 158°F (-20° to 70°C)
  • Pressure Rating: Maximum non-shock working pressure: 150 PSI (10.5 BAR)
  • Environmental Rating: Meets ATEX 94/9/EC requirements
  • Max Flow Rate: (1700 L/min)
  • Viscosity Range: 30 to 20,000* SSU (Consult the factory for applications involving higher viscosity liquids)
  • Compatible Products: Refined fuels (gasoline, fuel oils, diesel, kerosene, ethylene glycol, and lube oils)
Materials of Construction:
  • Valve Body: Stainless Steel
  • Elastomers: Viton internal O-rings

Air and Vapor Eliminators

Mechanical Air Eliminators FC-AE Series

Mechanical air and vapor eliminators enhance meter accuracy by ensuring that only liquid passes through the meter for measurement.

During installation, Flow Controls mechanical air and vapor eliminators are connected to a storage tank, creating a pathway for the expelled air and vapor. Once the air or vapor exits the metering system, the eliminators seal the pathway to prevent liquid from entering the storage tank.

Specifications:
  • Aluminum 150 PSI: Suitable for FCM-40, FCM-50, FCM-80, FCM-100, FCM-150, FCV-50 meters. Compatible with materials used in any classes applications. Designed for use with any strainers
  • Stainless Steel 150 PSI: Suitable for FCM-40, FCM-50, FCM-80, FCM-100, FCM-150, FCV-50 meters. Compatible with materials

Strainers

Meter connected strainers FC-ST Series

A meter strainer installed on the inlet side is essential, even if a coarse strainer is already present upstream of the pump. Strainers are not intended to serve as a system filter but to provide limited protection for the meter element itself.

Strainer baskets are available in 20, 40, 80, 100, and 150 mesh sizes. From Size DN40, DN50, DN80, DN100

Materials of Construction:

  • Aluminum
  • Stainless Steel

Options:

  • 150 PSI, Aluminum: Designed for FCM, FCV Series Flow Meter. Available with or without a cover when used with an air eliminator.
  • 150 PSI, Stainless Steel: Designed for FCM, FCV Series Flow Meter. Can be easily adapted for air eliminator mounting when needed.
