Description
Overview
The FM600 is a 1″ oval gear flowmeter with a digital register, built to measure diesel and oils more accurately than a turbine meter. Two meshing oval gears trap a fixed volume of liquid on each turn, so the reading depends on displacement rather than speed, and it holds at about ±0.5% across its 10-100 L/min range.
That displacement principle is why it copes with engine and gear oils up to 1000 cP, where a turbine would under-read. The LCD shows the batch you are dispensing and a cumulative total for stock checks.
Key features
- Oval gear positive displacement element, about ±0.5% accuracy
- Works on diesel, paraffin and lubricating oils up to 1000 cP
- Digital LCD with resettable batch and cumulative total
- Aluminium body with 1″ threaded ports
- Compact enough to fit on a pump outlet or a wall bracket
Where it works
Workshops in Gauteng put an oval gear flowmeter on the oil line so every service invoice carries the real litres used. Mining fleets in Mpumalanga use it on lube trailers and small diesel tanks where a turbine meter drifts on thicker product. It also suits a farm workshop that wants to stop guessing how much hydraulic oil went into the tractors. For a heavier mechanical version, see the FM150 oval gear mechanical flowmeter, and keep the reading honest with a calibrator for bulk flowmeters. Our flowmeter range covers every bore from micro to 4″.

Delivery and warranty
Kamano delivers with its own trucks from Polokwane to all nine provinces in 1 to 3 days. The FM600 meter ships at about 1.2 kg, which puts it in the up to 30 kg band (R550). Delivery is free on orders of R20,000 or more, so it is worth adding the rest of your fuel kit to the same order. Ask us for the warranty terms on this model.
Questions about this product
Will this oval gear meter read engine oil properly?
Yes. Oval gear meters measure by trapping a fixed volume per turn, so thicker oils read correctly where a turbine would not. The FM600 is rated for oils up to 1000 cP, which covers most engine, gear and hydraulic oils at normal workshop temperatures. Very cold, heavy gear oil flows slowly, so expect a lower flow rate on winter mornings.
What is the difference between the FM600 and a turbine meter like the FM24?
The FM600 counts fixed volumes with oval gears, giving about ±0.5% and good results on oil. A turbine meter counts rotor speed, is lighter and cheaper, and reads about ±1% on thin fuels like diesel only. Pick the FM600 for oil, billing or tighter stock control, and the turbine for basic diesel tracking.
Do you deliver to Nelspruit, and what does it cost?
Yes. Our own trucks run from Polokwane to all nine provinces, normally in 1 to 3 days, and Nelspruit is on the route. The FM600 meter weighs about 1.2 kg packed, so on its own it falls in the up to 30 kg band (R550). Add enough to reach R20,000 including VAT and the whole order ships free.
