Fertilizer Meters use a polypropylene or PVC body specifically for fertilizer/chemical-line service rather than the metal construction of a standard irrigation water meter — chemical injection metering fails fast on a meter body that wasn't chosen for the actual fertigation chemical passing through it.
Fertigation metering is a chemical-compatibility problem before it's a flow-accuracy problem — Netafim's Fertilizer Meters ship in polypropylene or PVC specifically because a standard bronze or brass irrigation water meter body wasn't built for concentrated fertilizer solution, and the two material options carry genuinely different pressure ratings that need matching to the actual injection-line pressure.
