Petrol/Diesel/Gasoline/Fuel oil is an important source of energy for vehicles, ships, power generation, and production machinery. With the use of flow meters, it is possible to effectively monitor the consumption of Petrol delivered.
Petrol flow meters can be mechanical or electronic. For example, the common elliptical gear flow meter, turbine flow meter, etc. can be used as flow meter for petrol/diesel/gasoline/fuel oil.
We at Sino-Inst supply various types of fuel flow meters. They can be customized to meet various parameters such as low flow, high temperature, high pressure, mechanical pointer display, digital display, signal output, etc. Today we are here to share with you a customized case of an Australian user.
Featured Petrol Flow Meters Types
Generally speaking, we can divide petrol flow meters into two categories: mechanical and electronic.
Mechanical petrol flow meter is the oval gear flow meter we use most often. Also called PD flow meters. It can be fully mechanical and can measure without power. It can meet the measurement of high temperature, high pressure and high viscosity. However, it is not used much for pipelines that need signal output or need to measure low flow.
Electronic petrol flow meters is a general term. GF gear flowmeter, mass flowmeter, turbine flowmeter, ultrasonic flowmeter can all be electronic. Because they all need to be powered on to work. They support pulse signal, 4-20mA, RS485 and other signal outputs. Each has its own advantages.

For the measurement of Petrol, the oval gear flowmeter is an ideal choice due to its high viscosity adaptability, high precision and stability. The turbine flowmeter is also popular because of its intelligence and digital display. However, the specific flowmeter to be selected needs to be comprehensively considered according to the actual application scenario, measurement requirements, budget and other factors.
In practical applications, it is recommended to select the appropriate flowmeter model and specification according to factors such as Petrol’s viscosity, flow range, measurement accuracy requirements and installation conditions. At the same time, the flowmeter should be operated and maintained strictly in accordance with the instruction manual during installation and use to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the measurement results.
