Litre Meter is ISO9001:2008 approved. Our service is one of the best in the country and our products are used in various industry applications worldwide. Our team of trained, experienced engineers manufacture products to the highest of industry standards and are happy to answer any technical queries or questions you may have.



Sierra C50 Thermal Mass Flow Meter and Controller

These high performance mass flow meters and mass flow controllers can be used to measure and control most gas, liquid, or steam applications. Thermal Mass, Transit-Time Ultrasonic, Vortex Shedding and Multivariable flow meters are available in both standard and customized versions for applications in laboratory, industrial, and hazardous environments. Sierra's flow measurement technologies precisely measure or control very low flows to extremely high flows of gas, liquid, and steam.

Chemical Injection Flow Metering

Litre Meter specialises in the design, manufacture and supply of flow meters. The unique Pelton wheel based meter design ensures an inherent reliability which has been proven in more than three decades of operation. Litre Meter supplies a range of flow meters within its range that are suitable for process liquids.

Innova-Sonic Ultrasonic Flow Meters

Our range of transit time ultrasonic flow meters comprises the 205, 206 and 210 Innova-Sonic® models.

205 Innova-Sonic®: An ultrasonic flow meter system incorporating digital signal processing. Innova-Sonic offers a low power consumption, clear display and user friendly menu selection.

206 Innova-Sonic®: An in-line ultrasonic flow meter system incorporating digital signal processing. This model offers a low power consumption, clear display and user friendly menu selection.

210 Innova-Sonic®: A fully field portable ultrasonic system complete with spare battery pack, non-invasive clamp-on transducers, mounting hardware and a unique PalmOne® Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) interface for a totally self-contained measurement package.

Litre Meter Flow

Litre Meter specialises in the manufacture of the LM (low flow) and MM (high flow) range of Pelton Wheel turbine flow meters and has done so since 1975. The VFF range of rotary piston positive displacement meters joined  the range in 1985. Many of the meters are customised to precise client requirements particularly in the field of oil and gas.

Oil & Gas Flow Measurement

Our range of flow meters is commonly supplied to assist the oil and gas industry. Different flow meters have qualities that are tailored to suit different applications and purposes. The VFF rotary piston positive displacement, for example, is mostly suited to chemical injection and is sought the world after for such processes. Our range of flow meters is suitable for a variety of applications be it onshore, offshore, sub-sea or topside. Our flow meter range consists of rotary pistons, the Pelton Wheel, vortex, thermal mass, ultrasonic, turbine and helical screw.

Pelton Wheel Flow Meters for Wide Ranges

Also known as a radial turbine, the development of the Pelton wheel flow meter was pioneered by Litre Meter. It offers an accurate, effective and versatile design suitable for many different fluids such as acid, chemicals, fuels, water and hot fats. The Pelton Wheel meter has many advantages and is suitable for both high and low rates.

Advantages and characteristics include:

  • Very large blade area to produce an exceptionally wide range flow meter with capabilities to measure very low flows.
  • The flow through the inlet of the meter is accurately directed onto the rotor which rotates at a speed in linear proportion to the flow rate.
  • A small sensing coil detects the ferrites mounted in the rotor blade tips as they pass. No drag is imposed on the rotor which assists in the measurement of extremely low flows.
  • Sapphire bearings provide a very low friction mechanically-robust bearing with long life characteristics.

Turndown can be as high as 280:1.



Ritter Volumetric Measurement for Gas

Here at Litre Meter, we supply a range of Ritter volumetric measurements for gas. We supply the TG Series, the MGC Milligas Counter and BG Bellows Gas Meter. The TG series of Ritter testers are used to measure and record gas volume from 0.1 to 18,000 litres per hour. The MGC Milligas Counter is designed for the measurement of small amounts of gas with ultra-low flow rates and the BG Bellows Gas Meters are applicable for measuring the volume of flowing inert and dry gases and are particularly effective at high gas flows.

Euromag Electromagnetic Flow Meters

We also supply a large range of electromagnetic flow meters for the industrial and sanitary markets from 3mm to 2000mm with various liner materials and a wide range of flows. These meters are suitable for industries from water, wastewater, foods, beverage, chemical, liquids containing solid matter steel, nonferrous metals, fertilizers, inorganic chemicals, pulp and paper, and polymer chemicals.

Please visit our website for detailed product descriptions and specifications or call a member of our team at Litre Metre where we will be happy to assist you in any way we can.

Flow Control Applications

Pelton Wheel: features a large blade area which compared with the flow inlet port size produces exceptionally wide range flowmeter to measure very low flow.


Thermal Mass Capillary: based on heat transfer and the first law of thermodynamics. Thermal Mass Capillary is ideal for glas flow measurement and control.


Ultrasonic: measure travelling times or frequency shifts of ultrasonic waves in a pre-configured acoustic field to determine flow velocity.


Turbine: velocity measuring devices – measures average velocity of a fluid flowing through the body of the meter.


Electro-Magnetic: obtains flow velocity by measuring changes of induced voltage of the conductive fluid passing a controlled magnetic field.


Helical Screw: displacement flowmeters measure volumes of fluid flowing through by repeatedly counting the filling and discharging of known fixed volumes.



Hoffer Turbine Flow Meters

HO Liquid: turbine flowmeter with 316 stainless steel body providing a pulse output for liquid service.
