1. Metering chamber: This is where the fuel flows through and is measured by the meter.
2. Mechanical counter: This displays the amount of fuel that has passed through the meter.
3. Strainer: This filters out any debris or contaminants in the fuel before it reaches the metering chamber.
4. Seals and gaskets: These ensure that the meter is properly sealed and prevents any leaks.
5. Housing: This is the outer casing that protects the internal components of the meter.
6. Inlet and outlet connections: These are where the fuel enters and exits the meter.
7. Calibration adjustment: This allows for fine-tuning of the meter to ensure accurate measurements.
8. Electronic components: Some fuel bulk meters may also have electronic components for digital readouts and data logging.

Metering Element:
- Nutating disc: A disc with alternating chambers that rotate as fuel flows through the meter. - Gear train: A set of gears that convert the disc rotation into numerical data.
Display:
- LCD or mechanical display: Shows the fuel volume, flow rate, and other data. - Remote display: A separate display unit that can be connected to the meter for remote monitoring.
Flow Straightener:
- Installed upstream of the meter to eliminate turbulent flow and ensure accurate readings.
Filters:
- Inlet filter: Removes debris and particles from the fuel before it enters the meter. - Outlet filter: Protects the downstream equipment from damage caused by debris.
Valves:
- Bypass valve: Allows fuel to bypass the meter when necessary (e.g., for calibration). - Isolation valves: Shut off the fuel flow to the meter for maintenance or repairs.
Electronic Components:
- Sensor: Detects the rotation of the measuring element. - Transducer: Converts the sensor signal into a digital format. - Microprocessor: Processes the signal and calculates the fuel volume and flow rate.
Mechanical Components:
- Body: The housing that contains the measuring element and other components. - Rotor: The rotating part of the measuring element. - Axle: The shaft that supports the rotor. - Bearings: Reduce friction and support the moving parts. - Gaskets and seals: Prevent leakage and ensure accurate readings.
Other Parts:
- Calibration certificate: Verifies the meter's accuracy. - Installation kit: Includes brackets, fittings, and other hardware for mounting the meter. - Instruction manual: Provides guidance on installation, operation, and maintenance.
