Smith Meter® CT Series PD Meter
for Crude Transportation
16" Steel Model M16
Specifications
Issue/Rev. 0.7 (2/10) Bulletin SS01021
The Smith Meter® Model M16 Meter is a 16", double-
case, straight-through type, rotary vane, positive displace-
ment flow meter and is part of the Crude Transportation
(CT) Series of large PD meters.
The Crude Transportation Series PD meters incorporate
updated design features including lightened blades, full-
width wear strips, Armalloy coated rollers and cam and
tungsten carbide roller pins to provide extended service
in harsh crude applications.
The Crude Transportation Series is suitable for both crude
oil and refined product applications such as blending,
batching and leak detection as well as traditional custody
transfer applications.
