Description
Overview
The M-80 (BT-M80) is a 3 inch bulk flowmeter with a positive displacement element and mechanical totalising register, measuring from 75 up to 1150 L/min. It is the workhorse of the M-series for full road tanker loading and offloading.
Calibrated on site it holds about ±0.5%, and the cast aluminium body is rated to 10.5 bar. It weighs about 53 kg and ships crated at around 78 kg, so plan a lifting method. The register takes the M-series ticket printer and pulser.
Because the gear plate, register and strainer housing are common M-series parts, a damaged head or a worn drive can be replaced on site without sending the whole meter away. Keep a spare register on the shelf if the bay runs every day, and recheck calibration after any repair.
Key features
- 3″ (DN80) connections, 75-1150 L/min
- Positive displacement element in cast aluminium
- Rated to 10.5 bar
- Mechanical totalising register with reset
- Accepts ticket printer and pulser add-ons
Where it works
Put a 3 inch bulk flowmeter wherever full tankers load or offload: coal mines around Emalahleni receiving bulk diesel, fuel depots on the N1 and N4, and large transport yards with their own tank farms. It also suits municipal depots that check every delivery against the invoice. For a dial-in batch stop on the same body, choose the M-80 preset bulk flowmeter, or go up a size with the M-100 4″ bulk flowmeter. Fit a strainer and air eliminator upstream. Browse all bulk flowmeters.

Questions about this product
Should I choose the M-80 or the FMC-80 for my tanker bay?
Both are 3" positive displacement meters. The M-80 covers a wider flow band, up to 1150 L/min, and is set up for diesel and fuel oils. The FMC-80 rotary vane meter reads to ±0.2% and is rated for petrol too. For diesel-only bays the M-80 is the practical choice; for petrol or custody transfer, choose the FMC-80.
What do I need to install with the M-80?
Fit the M-80 strainer housing and air eliminator directly upstream, isolation valves on both sides and solid pipe supports for the 53 kg meter. Add flanges to suit your 3" pipework. Calibrate it on site before first use. A ticket printer or pulser can be added to the register at any time.
Do you deliver to Emalahleni, and what does it cost?
Yes. Our own trucks run from Polokwane to all nine provinces, normally in 1 to 3 days, and Emalahleni is on the route. The M-80 meter weighs about 78 kg packed, so on its own it falls in the 60 to 100 kg band (R1,450). Because the price is above R20,000, delivery on this order is free.
