Technical Questions Answers Flow Meter.pdf

This is a Questions and Answers document for a federal contract opportunity regarding a Flow Meter and Specialized Wig procurement (FOPR). The document, dated April 6, 2026, provides government responses to contractor technical inquiries.

For the Flow Meter component, the fluid specification is liquid propane from a 10,000-gallon tank flowing to a Fire Department Training Tower. The government indicates that flow rate, operating pressure, and estimated flow are unknown, with temperature varying with outside weather during the April to October training period. The meter requires a 2 1/2" Schedule 40 connection, Class 1 Division 2 area classification for both meter and display, local mounting preference, 24V DC ideal power supply, and a non-resettable totalizer with calibration capability. No electronic output beyond the totalizer is required, and no pump testing is anticipated. For the Specialized Wig component, the government specifies approximately 70 degrees straight run between the elbow and flange, Class 300 rating for any flange, Class 1 Division 2 area classification, and 24V DC as the ideal meter voltage. The government confirms there is no preference regarding communication protocol and that cable length depends on meter location relative to the power source.
