Racine, WI, December 1, 2005: Blancett Flow Meters, a division of Racine Federated Inc., has been awarded a $1.6 million dollar military contract for the Model 1100 Turbine flow meter and B2800 flow monitor. These meters are part of a fuel transfer system used by the Department of Defense for measurement of filling capacity and flow consumption. The contract began with one Blancett system replacing an older structure that is currently in place. Due to the quality, accuracy and durability, the Blancett flow meters were approved by procurement and all transfer fuel systems will be replaced with the Blancett flow systems.
The Blancett turbine flow meter can be used in temperature ranges of -25 °F to +140 °F (-30 °C to +60 °C), thus withstanding all global environments. The turbine meter consists of only one moving part, thus reducing maintenance costs greatly. The system is part of caged construction assembly that can be easily transported to measure the liquid flow in various pipe sizes. The B2800 is a microprocessor-based flow monitor that displays the flow rate and the total calculated flow.
Dominic Cariello, General Manager of Blancett, has worked with this project in conjunction with TTI, a Vermont based distributor of the Blancett product line. TTI will be providing the entire fuel transfer system, which includes the Blancett turbine flow meters and monitors, to the Department of Defense over the next six months. "This is a great opportunity for Blancett and Racine Federated Inc.
The Racine team is excited about this project and ready to provide quality products to the government, says Cariello.
