SafeRack provides a variety of flowmeter technologies to suit your specific bulk loading needs:

Chemical Flowmeters

Built to handle corrosive fluids, these meters are essential for chemical bulk loading, providing reliable performance in harsh conditions.

Turbine Flowmeters

Designed for high-accuracy liquid flow measurement, these meters excel in rugged environments like oil fields, pipelines, and industrial processes. They’re ideal for applications requiring durability and sustained precision, with options for easy installation in any orientation.

Rotary Positive Displacement Flowmeters

Perfect for metering petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene, these meters feature a simple design with no metal-to-metal contact, ensuring long service life and consistent accuracy without wear.

Ultrasonic Flowmeters

Offering maintenance-free operation, these meters use ultrasonic technology for precise flow measurement in large pipes (up to 12 inches). They’re suited for water distribution and other low-maintenance bulk loading scenarios, with no moving parts to wear out.

Sight-flow indicators

Sight Flow Indicator solutions help facilities maintain operational awareness with clear, reliable visibility of fluid movement in pipelines.

One of our trusted options is the VISI-FLO® 1400 Series Sight Flow Indicator. Designed for high-performance applications, this solution supports facilities operating with pressures up to 200 psig (13.8 bar) and temperatures of 225ºF (107ºC). With rapid availability, most items ship within three days, minimizing downtime and keeping operations on track.

Key Benefits of Our Sight Flow Indicator Solutions:

  • Reliable Performance – Engineered to provide clear, uninterrupted visibility of flow conditions.
  • Minimal Maintenance – Designed for hassle-free operation without frequent adjustments or special torqueing sequences.
  • Flexible Integration – Compatible with various pipeline systems, offering dimensional interchangeability with multiple manufacturers.
  • Durability & Safety – Built to withstand high-vacuum applications while ensuring a secure seal, reducing the risk of leaks.
  • Versatile Monitoring – Available with multiple indicator styles, including Drip Tube, Propeller, Bi-Directional Flapper, and Bi-Directional Plane, to suit different operational needs.

Our team works with customers to identify the right sight flow indicators for their applications, ensuring compliance, safety, and long-term reliability. SafeRack’s expertise extends beyond supplying individual components—we deliver complete safety and efficiency solutions tailored to your facility’s requirements.
