Product headline
The refueling and distribution application flowmeter with easy sytem
integration. Accurate measurement of liquefied petroleum gas in refueling
and distribution applications. -
Sensor features
Excellent operational safety – reliable under extreme ambient conditions.
Fewer process measuring points – multivariable measurement (flow,
density, temperature). Space‐saving installation – no in/outlet run needs.
Flow rates up to 45 000 kg/h (1654 lb/min). Volume flow calculation
according to API table 53. -
Transmitter features
Easy operation – reduced to application needs. Fast commissioning – pre‐configured devices. Automatic recovery of data for servicing. Robust, ultra‐compact transmitter housing. Pulse output and Modbus RS485.

Field of application
The LPGmass is specially designed for flow measurement of LPG for dispensing and truck unloading. It combines an integrated temperature measurement with intelligent conversion functions, providing volume correction directly on site. LPGmass will be the preferred choice for system integrators, skid builders and equipment manufacturers.
Measuring principle operates independently of physical fluid properties such as viscosity or density
