FOR ACCURATE, RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE

MEASUREMENT OF LIQUIDS AT THE TERMINAL Long Radius
Accurate: FMC Technologies realizes that loading rack Flow Pattern

meters are important to liquid terminals, not only for

custody transfer, but also for liquid inventory control
and leak detection. Liquid measurement numbers that
terminal managers rely on are only as good as the
meters being used.

The Smith Meter PRIME 4 is the best meter to use because

it delivers superior accuracy, stability, and meets or exceeds
