- Accurate, Reliable Batching
- Nationwide Coverage
- Over 45 years' experience
Hazardous Area Expertise
Mechanical meters and, where suitable, intrinsically safe electronic systems for explosive or potentially hazardous manufacturing environments, correctly specified for your facility.
Calibration & Batching Accuracy
Regular calibration keeps meters measuring within tolerance across your production bays, protecting formulation accuracy and reducing wasted raw materials.
Full-Service Support
From expert specification and supply to installation, calibration, servicing, repair and refurbishment, all from one specialist.
Why Accurate Flow Metering Matters
An inaccurate flow meter can lead to incorrect paint or coating formulations, wasted raw materials, rejected or reworked batches, and inconsistent product quality. Left unchecked, it can also mean lost production time, higher manufacturing costs, and unplanned maintenance or downtime.
Chemical Flow Meters for Paint, Resin & Solvent Applications
We help specify meters for paints and coatings, resins, solvents, paint thinners, cleaning fluids, oils and petroleum-based liquids, additives and other industrial chemicals, so the meter you install matches the product actually running through it.
Mechanical Flow Meters for Hazardous & Industrial Environments
Paint manufacturing facilities can contain hazardous or potentially explosive areas. Mechanical meters offer a straightforward solution without electronic displays, and electronic systems are available for suitable applications following proper assessment.
Flow Meter Calibration for Paint & Coating Plants
Regular calibration verifies that meters measure within required tolerances across multiple production bays, helping maintain batching accuracy, reduce unnecessary product loss, identify deteriorating meter performance, and support your quality-control procedures.

What Our Clients Say About Us
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of flow meter is suitable for paint and chemicals?
It depends on the chemical type, viscosity, temperature, flow rate, pressure and environment. We recommend reviewing your specific application before making a recommendation. Call us on 0345 230 7887 or email sales@bms-ltd.com.
Can a flow meter handle solvents and paint thinners?
Yes, suitable meters are available, but material and seal compatibility must be confirmed first. Material data sheets help us assess compatibility with your specific solvent or thinner.
Can you calibrate existing flow meters?
Yes, we can calibrate existing flow meters, including at sites operating multiple meters across several production bays. Call us on 0345 230 7887 or email sales@bms-ltd.com.
