In-Flight Refuelling

Flowmetering for in-flight refuelling systems is a specific application of fuel flow transfer measurement.

Equipment requires a high flow rate due to the refuelling phase duration which must be a s short as possible.

We propose a wide variety of in-flight refuelling flowmeters meeting all the existing metering systems: flowmeter on the tanker cargo aircraft, on the refuelling pod or on the refuelled aircraft (during qualification tests).

Benefits
-High flow: more than 200 m3/h (360.000 pph)
-Excellent accuracy: better than +/- 0.2% (at given flow range)
-Simplicity and reliability: a single moving element
-Low pressure drop
-Continuous flow even if the rotor is blocked
-No power source required
-Easy and cost-effective maintenance
-Fixed K-factor (LRU)
-Calibration with your fluid
