Core offering

Sur-Flo Meters and Controls Ltd. designs, manufactures, and sells industrial flow measurement and pressure control equipment from its Calgary, Alberta facility. Its portfolio includes paddle meters, clamp-on ultrasonic meters, electromagnetic meters, turbine meters, orifice meter runs (including the patented Roto-Boss), positive displacement meters, oval gear meters, and thermal mass meters, plus the SF10V axial flow control valve and the BS30-series flow monitors, all engineered for harsh-service oil and gas, mining, water, and chemical processing applications.

Product overview

Sur-Flo Meters & Controls is a Canadian manufacturer of industrial flow measurement and pressure control equipment. The product portfolio centers on mechanical and ultrasonic flow metering technologies designed for harsh-service industrial applications. The core offerings include the SF1015 Paddle Meter for high-debris produced water and slurry service, the SF10V Control Valve for pressure control applications, and the Clamp-On Ultrasonic Meter (TFX-5000) for non-intrusive retrofit installations. Additional products include Electromagnetic Flow Meters (M-Series: SM2000/SM3000/SM4000) for conductive liquids, Conventional Turbine Meters (Model BS1100) for clean liquid service, Gas Quiksert Turbines for air/gas measurement, Roto-Boss Orifice Meter Runs for gas measurement with remote plate-changing capability, Sage Thermal Mass Meters for instrument air and flare line measurement in carbon credit programs, Positive Displacement Meters (Model BS1750) for high-viscosity fluids, and Industrial Oval Gear Meters (Model IOG) for low-flow applications. The Flow Monitor series (BS30BM, BS30BS, BS30XR, BS2900, BS30ZR) provides display and communication options for paddle and turbine meters. Products are manufactured in-house in Calgary, Alberta and served to oil and gas, mining, municipal water, chemical processing, and pulp and paper industries across North America.

Products and services

• SF1015 Paddle Meter Low-maintenance mechanical flow meter built for produced water, slurry, and high-debris liquid service, with a three-step field service design requiring no specialized tools and no upstream or downstream straight-run requirements. Engineered for oil and gas, mining, chemical processing, and water and wastewater applications.
• SF10V Control Valve Axial flow control valve for backpressure control, liner protection, flow control, and pressure reduction in oil and gas, mining, chemical processing, and water management. Features only three internal parts and handles high-debris liquids, gas, oil, and mixed-phase service without venting fumes.
• Sur-Flo Clamp-On Ultrasonic Meter (TFX-5000) Non-intrusive transit-time ultrasonic flow meter that clamps onto existing pipes without cutting, welding, or process shutdown. Provides 1% measurement uncertainty in liquid applications free of gas or air bubbles. Suitable for retrofit installations and systems where downtime is not acceptable.
• Electromagnetic Flow Meter (M-Series: SM2000, SM3000, SM4000) Flow meters based on Faraday's law of induction that measure conductive liquids, slurries, and pastes with processor-based signal conversion achieving ±0.25% accuracy. Configurable liner and electrode materials provide maximum fluid compatibility and minimum maintenance.
• Conventional Wafer and NPT Style Turbine (Model BS1100) Turbine flow meters designed for clean liquid measurement with 316 stainless steel housing, CD4MCU stainless steel rotor, and tungsten carbide rotor shaft and journal bearings, suitable for corrosive and abrasive fluid applications and interchangeable in dimensions with other manufacturers' turbines.
• Gas Quiksert Turbine A low-cost 2-inch wafer design turbine meter for air and gas measurement, interchangeable with similar manufacturers' products and compatible with any pulse-drawn totalizer.
• Roto-Boss Orifice Meter Run Patented orifice meter run with five selectable orifice plates that can be changed in seconds without opening the orifice changer, reducing user error and exposure to harmful gases or pressures. The optional Auto-Boss addition enables remote SCADA-controlled automated plate changes.
• Sage Thermal Mass Meter / Sage Paramount Industrial Thermal Mass Flow Meter Thermal mass flow meter for air and gas measurement in instrument air packages and flare lines used in carbon credit programs. Features in-situ calibration that eliminates downtime, a dual-sided explosion-proof NEMA 4X enclosure (Div. 2 rating), and accompanying SageCom software for configuration and diagnostics.
• Positive Displacement Meter (Model BS1750) High-accuracy positive displacement flow meter for fluids over a wide viscosity range including lubricants, fuels, chemicals, solvents, oils, and greases. Features accuracy of ±0.5% of reading, repeatability of ±0.1%, and turndown ratio up to 400:1.
• Industrial Oval Gear Meter (Model IOG) Modular flow meter for extremely low flows and high-viscosity fluids, available for up to 3-inch pipe sizes. Suitable for petroleum-based fluids, water solutions, and corrosive liquids compatible with materials of construction.
• Flow Monitors (BS30BM, BS30BS, BS30XR, BS2900, BS30ZR) Flow monitoring equipment compatible with all Sur-Flo Paddle Meters and conventional turbine meters, available in basic and advanced communication protocols with explosion-proof and non-explosion-proof enclosure options.
