The electronic counter plays a key role in both measuring and automation of loading procedures.

From a metrological point of view, in combination with the flow rate meter (PD, mass, turbine etc.) the electronic counter can provide, depending on the version, either on the user display or to remote devices through the communication ports:

• the measurement, in the desired unit of measure
• the temperature compensated volume (typically 15°C)
• the pressure compensated volume
• the flow rate
• the average flow rate
• the average loading temperature
• ticket printing
• etc.
