Smith Meter® PD Meters

The Smith Meter Model E3 is a 3", double-case,
straight-through (S1 through S8), rotary vane type
positive displacement meter. Applications include:
blending, batching, dispensing, inventory control, and
custody transfer of oils, solvents, chemicals, paints,
fats and fertilizers.

Features
»» Superior Accuracy – The Smith Meter
Rotary Vane Meter principle, combined with
the meter’s uniquely designed (offset) inlet
Model E3-S1
and outlet nozzles, minimizes pressure drop
across the measuring chamber, which
reduces flow through meter clearances
to maximize accuracy. Operating Specifications
