Glycerin Oval Gear Meter Batching Application

Flow Meter Application:

Glycerin delivered in a rail tanker must be unloaded and measured as it is added into a large mixing tank used to make individual batches. The GM515 fits easily between the pump and the mixing tank. The Mechanical display is easy to read and this meter provides accurate measurement, batch after batch. The low maintenance on this meter proved perfect for this particular application.

What flow meter video do you want to see? Vote!

The last couple of months have been pretty hectic in my GPI web/new media world.  I have been doing some spring cleaning in our online catalog.  In this new digital world things don’t literally “pile up” but they do grow.  I spent a good part of my time cleaning(or deleting) some of our old manuals from our database to keep everything nice and organized.  This task had to be done carefully because you never want to delete something you shouldn’t.  I am still going through some of these files to make sure we are current on all of our flow meter products. 

I also started to think about what our next flow meter video should be.  Mr. Matt Logan (the guy you will probably talk to if you call us) and I discussed some of the topics we think would be beneficial to our customers.  I decided to put these topics in a poll so that you could vote for the one you would like for us to shoot.  I will only post some of the topics we discussed. However, if you have a topic you would like for us to cover please feel free to write it in.
