Piusi K24 Flow Meter: Digital Electronic Fuel Dispensing Monitor Specs and Sourcing Guide
Quick Answer: The Piusi K24 digital electronic fuel dispensing monitor is a compact unit used on diesel transfer pumps, generator day tanks, and light oil refueling skids. Typical published specs place it near 20 to 120 L/min flow range, 10 bar maximum working pressure, and plus or minus 1 percent accuracy for clean diesel or light fuel oil. If you need tighter accuracy, pulse output, 4-20 mA HART, or batch control, Silver Automation Instruments can provide an industrial oval gear fuel flow meter alternative with a formal quote.
What the Piusi K24 Does in the Field
The K24 sits in the fuel line and reads local flow. It has a digital LCD register for partial fill and cumulative total. Most installers mount it close to the nozzle or on a small skid. We have seen similar fuel monitors on diesel transfer carts in the Philippines and generator refueling trailers in Nigeria. The product fits contractors and rental fleets that need a simple local readout without a control room.
This type of meter is not designed for custody transfer or large pipeline metering. It is a light duty fuel monitor. That matters because users sometimes push it into high flow, dirty fuel, or high back pressure service and then find drift or display faults. In practice, most engineers replace the K24 with an oval gear meter when they need stable readings over many years.
Typical Piusi K24 Specifications
Because there are several K24 variants and firmware revisions, always verify against the latest Piusi data sheet. The commonly published commercial specs are as follows. Flow range 20 to 120 L/min. Maximum working pressure 10 bar. Accuracy around plus or minus 1 percent for diesel at ambient temperature. Fluid compatibility covers diesel, biodiesel blends, and light fuel oils. Connection size is usually 1 inch BSP or NPT. The display is a battery powered LCD totalizer with resettable batch total. No 4-20 mA output is standard on the base K24.
Most engineers skip this part, but the lack of standard analog output is the main limitation. For a simple visual dispense monitor that is fine. For SCADA integration, PLC totalizing, or remote inventory, you need a pulse output or 4-20 mA HART transmitter. Silver Automation Instruments supplies oval gear and turbine fuel meters with pulse, 4-20 mA, and optional HART. Send us your fuel type, pipe size in DN, flow range in L/min, working pressure in bar, and temperature in degrees C. We will match a meter and transmitter to the duty.
K24 Flow Meter vs Industrial Fuel Meter
Here is the thing. A digital fuel dispensing monitor is not an industrial flow meter. The K24 is built for light transfer and local display. Industrial fuel meters from Silver Automation Instruments are built for continuous duty, higher accuracy, and automation signals. We supply oval gear fuel meters from DN10 to DN80 with flow ranges from 0.5 L/min to 300 L/min depending on size. We also supply turbine meters for flow up to 1000 L/min and above. Oval gear meters handle diesel, fuel oil, marine gas oil, biodiesel, and light solvents.
Last year a paint manufacturer in Vietnam asked us for a replacement fuel meter for a solvent batching line. The existing dispense monitor could not give the PLC a stable pulse. We supplied a small oval gear meter with a pulse output and local display. The batch accuracy improved and the PLC stopped losing counts. That is the difference between a dispense monitor and a process meter.
Pius
Piusi K24 pricing varies by region, distributor, and whether you buy the meter head only or a complete pump meter kit. In Australia and Southeast Asia, buyers often ask for a local supplier because of warranty and spare parts. Silver Automation Instruments does not sell Piusi branded meters. We supply equivalent and higher specification fuel flow meters from our own range. We ship to Australia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America.
Ask for a quote with this information. Fuel type, viscosity in cP, flow range in L/min or kg/h, pipe size in DN, connection standard, working pressure in bar, required signal output, and hazardous area classification if any. For Zone 1 or ATEX rated areas, specify the certification level. If you batch fuel across a wide temperature range, request a PT100 temperature input along with the meter. We will provide model options, accuracy curves, and lead time. Contact us at Tel +86-135-1213-1526 or WhatsApp 86-135-12131526. WeChat is +86 13512131526.
Installation Advice for Digital Fuel Dispensing Monitors
Install the meter with a strainer upstream. Dirty diesel from a storage tank damages the rotor or oval gear set. Keep the meter full of liquid and avoid air slugs. Mount the display where the operator can see it without stretching over a hot engine. We recommend a bypass line if the meter will see continuous flow above its rated range. For open drum transfer, a spring loaded nozzle and a grounding line reduce static risk.
If you replace a K24 with an industrial oval gear meter, check the pulse factor. Many PLCs and batch controllers need a specific pulses per liter value. A mismatch causes total error, even if the local display reads correctly. We can preconfigure the K-factor and a 4-20 mA span before shipment. Tell us your controller brand and input type.
FAQ
What is the flow range of the Piusi K24 digital flow meter?
Common commercial data sheets list 20 to 120 L/min for diesel or light fuel oil. Check your exact model revision because some K24 variants have narrower ranges.
Can the Piusi K24 handle gasoline or kerosene?
Some versions are rated for diesel and light oils only. Gasoline has a lower flash point and different seal compatibility. Confirm with the Piusi data sheet before use. If you need a multi fuel meter, request Viton or PTFE seals from Silver Automation Instruments.
Does the K24 have a pulse or 4-20 mA output?
The standard K24 is typically a battery powered local display meter. It may not include a 4-20 mA output. For PLC or SCADA integration, use an oval gear or turbine meter with pulse or 4-20 mA HART output.
What is more accurate than the K24 for diesel transfer?
An oval gear positive displacement meter is more accurate. Silver Automation Instruments oval gear fuel meters reach plus or minus 0.5 percent or better for diesel, biodiesel, and light fuel oil. This suits batching and remote inventory tracking.
Can you supply a replacement meter for a Piusi K24 dispensing skid?
Yes. We supply equivalent connection sizes and flow ranges. Send us the pipe size in DN, flow range, pressure, and signal requirement. We will recommend a direct form factor replacement or a more robust industrial meter.
