Description
Overview
The M-80 preset is a preset flowmeter on the 3″ M-80 positive displacement body: the operator dials in the volume needed, opens the line, and the preset valve closes when that volume has passed. It measures 75 to 1150 L/min on a mechanical totalising register.
Batch control takes the guesswork out of loading. Instead of a driver watching the counter and shutting a valve by hand, the meter does it, which cuts overfills on tanker compartments and generator day tanks.
The body is cast aluminium rated to 10.5 bar, and the register runs without power. It weighs about 53 kg before crating, so plan lifting gear, pipe supports and a strainer with air eliminator upstream.

Where it works
A preset flowmeter earns its keep on tanker loading gantries at depots, on mine fuel bays near Thabazimbi where haul trucks get a fixed allocation, and at fuel distributors filling multi-compartment tankers. It also suits power and water sites that top up standby generator tanks to a set level. If your bay is dispatching petrol or needs custody accuracy, consider the FMC-80 3″ rotary vane flowmeter, and for an electronic readout look at the M-80 digital bulk flowmeter.

Questions about this product
How does the preset function work?
You set the required volume on the preset dial and open the delivery. As the meter counts down to the target, the preset valve closes and stops the flow. The driver no longer has to watch the register and shut the valve by hand, which saves fuel lost to overfills and spills.
Is the M-80 preset heavier than the standard M-80?
No. It is based on the same 53 kg body and the listed weights match the standard M-80. It ships crated at around 78 kg, which is still in the 60 to 100 kg delivery band. Plan a forklift or lifting tackle on site to install it.
Do you deliver to Thabazimbi, and what does it cost?
Yes. Our own trucks run from Polokwane to all nine provinces, normally in 1 to 3 days, and Thabazimbi is on the route. The M-80 preset 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.
