    Precision Flow Meter Calibration

    A flow meter error of just 1% can mean incorrect chemical ratios, rejected product and lost raw materials: on a 10,000-litre delivery, that's 100 litres lost. Our UKAS traceable calibration keeps your measurements accurate and your batches on-spec.

    What Is Liquid Chemical Management?

    Liquid Chemical Management offers comprehensive solutions to help chemical companies maintain accuracy and minimise waste in their mixing process. Our OFTEC and CompEx-certified engineers will calibrate your flow meters to ensure accuracy and prevent errors in dosing, batching, and process control.

    Liquid Chemical Management ensures that chemicals are:

    • Measured accurately
    • Stored securely
    • Blended correctly
    • Monitored for compliance

    In chemical manufacturing, precision is critical. A small measurement error in dosing or batching can result in:

    • Off-spec or “bad” batches
    • Expensive material waste
    • Production downtime
    • Environmental risk
    • Failed audits
    • Financial losses

    Our role is to protect your mixing process and liquid infrastructure from these risks.

    Why Chemical Companies Have to Calibrate Their Flow Meters

    Adding chemicals to mixing vessels to create formulated blends requires accuracy. Calibrating is essential in the chemical industry, as incorrect amounts of chemical delivered to the mixing vessel may result in a “bad batch” that is either thrown away or reworked, costing you time and money.

    For example, if a Flow Meter delivers 10,000 litres of product to a mixing vessel and the Meter delivering the fuel has an error of +1%, the actual product delivered will be 10,100 litres. As a result, you are losing 100 litres, leading to product imbalance, waste, or rework.

    A 1% error can cause:

    • Incorrect chemical ratios
    • Product rejection
    • Lost raw materials
    • Increased operational costs
    The Benefits of Flow Meter Calibration
    • At BMS Group, we offer flow meter calibration services to ensure:
    • Accuracy & Efficiency: Ensures accurate flow rate, so the exact amount of chemical is delivered to the mixing vessel.
    • Compliance: Supports ISO standards and UKAS traceable calibration requirements for audits and certifications.
    • Safety: Prevents situations caused by incorrect measurement of flammable, corrosive, or volatile liquids.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How often should flow meters be calibrated?

    We recommend calibrating your flow meter at least once a year. Sites operating in harsh conditions or with continuous, high-volume use may need more frequent checks.

    Why is flow meter calibration important?

    Flow meters can develop delivery errors over time. Left unchecked, this leads to bad batches that must be discarded or reworked, causing significant financial losses.

    What happens if a flow meter is out of calibration?

    Even a 1% error can mean incorrect chemical ratios, rejected product and lost raw materials — on a 10,000-litre delivery, a 1% error wastes 100 litres.

    Which industries do you support?

    We work with coatings and paint companies, adhesive manufacturers, automotive chemical suppliers, oil and lubricant producers, food chemical processors, solvent manufacturers and fragrance producers.

    What tank services do you provide?

    We install and maintain tank gauges, inspect and clean tanks, and carry out bund and tank lining repairs to OFTEC standards, protecting against leaks and environmental risk.

    Do you offer emergency support?

    Yes. We can provide 24/7 emergency response with nationwide UK engineer coverage to minimise downtime when issues arise outside normal hours. If you need our support out of working hours, email sales@bms-ltd.com.
