Frequently Asked Questions

1. How should I choose between an inline flow meter and a nozzle-mounted flow meter?

An inline meter is useful when measurement is required at a fixed point in a hose or transfer line. A nozzle-mounted meter is more suitable when the operator needs to read the delivered quantity directly at the dispensing point. The OILM01 supports either arrangement when the connections and installation conditions are compatible.

2. Is the OILM01 suitable for both diesel transfer and lubricating oil dispensing?

The listed applications include diesel and lubricating oil. Before use, verify that the fluid viscosity, temperature and operating conditions fall within the meter’s approved range, particularly when measuring higher-viscosity lubricants.

3. What does the ±0.5% accuracy specification mean for purchasing decisions?

Accuracy indicates how closely the meter’s reading corresponds to the actual delivered volume under specified test conditions. For applications requiring documented measurement performance, buyers should confirm the calibration conditions and whether the stated accuracy applies across the full 1–30 L/min flow range.

4. What should be checked before installing the meter on an existing dispensing system?

Check the 1/2″ NPT connection, available installation space, flow direction, operating pressure and compatibility with the fluid. The system should remain within the meter’s specified pressure and flow limits to avoid unsuitable operating conditions.

5. Can the OILM01 be used for commercial fuel or lubricant dispensing records?

It can provide local volume readings during dispensing. If the application requires certified commercial transactions, remote data logging or integration with a management system, confirm the meter’s certification, data output and system compatibility before selecting it.
