• Heavy-wall, precision bore borosilicate glass metering tube

• A wide range of scales on the metering tube

• Tube removable without disconnecting the instrument

• Interchangeable tubes and floats

• Piping connections rotatable through 360° at 90° intervals

• Easily panel mounted

1-3 Specifications

Do not operate this instrument in excess of the specifications listed
below. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal
injury and/or damage to the equipment.

Glass metering tubes are designed for operation up to the maximum
operating pressures and temperatures as specified herein. Due to
the inherent brittle characteristics of glass and conditions beyond
our control, tube breakage could result even within specified
operating conditions. Do not use glass tube meters with fluids that
are toxic, or chemically react with glass such as water above 140°F,
steam, alkalis, flourine, hydrofluoric acid, or molten metal. Failure
to heed warning can result in serious personal injury and/or damage
to the equipment.

Pressure/T emperature

200 psig at 33°F to 250°F (1°C to 121°C)
Fluid temperatures below 32°F (0°C) will cause frosting of the glass
metering tube. Consult factory for applications below this temperature.
100 psig at 33°F to 250°F (1°C to 121°C) (CRN Certification)

Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC:

Flowmeters mentioned in this instruction manual are Sound Engineering
Practice (SEP).

2-4 Transit Precautions

2-5 Installation

Any instrument returned to Brooks requires completion of Form RPR003-1,
Brooks Instrument Decontamination S tatement, as well as, a Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the fluid(s) used in the instrument. This is
required before any Brooks Personnel can begin processing. Copies of the
form can be obtained from any Brooks Instrument location listed above.

To safeguard against damage during transit, transport the instrument to the
installation site in the same container used for transportation from the
factory if circumstances permit.

A. Location
For proper operation the Model 1358 must be mounted within 6 degrees of
true vertical. The inlet connection to the flowmeter is in the bottom end
fitting. The connections are normally horizontal female NPT. The use of a
level is recommended to assure vertical positioning. Piping must be
adequately supported to prevent undue strain on the flowmeter.

B. Piping Arrangement
It is recommended that bypass piping be installed around the flowmeter so
it may be isolated from the process line for servicing and cleaning. Refer to
Figure 2-1 for a typical installation.

2-2

CAUTION

!

Do not allow the float to fall out of the metering tube. A damaged Float
will affect the accuracy of the meter. Be careful not to break the tube
by pulling on it at an extreme angle or applying excessive force.
