About FPP Meters
We thank you for purchasing an FPP Meter for liquid meas­urement service. FPP Meters, formerly Fluid Power Prod-
ucts, is now a trade name of Tuthill Transfer Systems. FPP was established in 1980. Since its inception, the company has been dedicated to manufacturing cost-effective, high performance flow metering devices for petroleum, industrial, commercial and municipal service.
Our facilities include computerized order entry and inventory control, so that you are assured of accurate and prompt de­liveries. Furthermore, our production personnel ensure that each order, regardless of size, receives individual attention.
Constant attention to new product development and produc­tion design, our high standards of manufacture and final
testing are the reasons why FPP Meters meet your most
demanding requirements. With the ‘Waveform’ oval gear (2003 patent) meter accuracy is better than ever before.
Our meters are used in batching, blending, process control and to dispense fluids in liquid handling facilities throughout the World. Service includes gasohol blends, bio-diesel and special formulation racing fuels.
Principle of Operation
Positive Displacement meters have a measuring chamber, where inlet & outlet are separated by rotors, a rotating ele­ment or sliding vanes. As the liquid passes through the flow meter, it causes the rotors/element/vanes to turn, which forms the basis for volumetric measurement.
The Oval Gear metering principle is based on two elliptical (oval) gears, which turn on center on two horizontal shafts inside a measuring chamber formed by two overlapping cyl­inders. The oval gears have meshing teeth along their en­tire circumference, ensuring that the gears will maintain cor­rect position in relation to each other at all times, without the use of timing gears.
The volume being transferred from the inlet to the outlet side (= volume meas­ured), forms between the oval gear and the side of the measuring cham­ber, alternately in the upper and the lower half of the measuring chamber.
In a full 360° rotation of the gears, four such known volumes are released to the downstream side of the flow meter.
With precision machining and close internal tolerances, the slippage is minimal for superior linearity (accuracy) over a broad turn-down ratio. Oval gear meters are largely unaf­fected by changes in liquid viscosity (see page 1.8).
The TS Series meter is designed to provide:
V●● Assy: Drive to a mechanical register (
E & F●● Assy: Electric pulse signal to an electronic
register installed on the flow meter.
S & W●● Assy: Electric pulse signal to a remote electronic register.
In the two electronic versions, the flow meter is 100% gland­less with static O-ring seals only. A pulser (pulse pick-up) detects the movement of internal magnets, to generate the signal to the electronic register. Several types of pulse sig­nal are available to ensure signal compatibility with all elec­tronic registers.
this manual).
Fluid Compatibility
FPP Meter flow meters are available in anodized aluminum
and stainless steel, with a variety of rotor types, and seal & bearing materials, to ensure compatibility with a broad range of liquids and operating conditions. If in doubt about com­patibility with a specific fluid or the operating conditions,
please refer to FPP210 (Liquid Compatibitily list) or FPP200 (FPP Technical Manual). If those publication do
not provide a clear answer, please consult with your author­ized FPP Meter distributor, or Customer Care at the factory.
While most refined petroleum products can be handled with the same flow meter, some require different rotors and/or
seals. Do not change service liquid, without consulting with
your authorized FPP Meter distributor.

Installation, Start-Up & Operation
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure that all necessary safety precautions have been taken, including proper clothing, personal safety equipment and fire safety equipment if required.
Before Start-Up of the Flow Meter, make certain that:
1. The meter is properly mounted, secured and piped.
2. All connections are tight.
3. All bleed and drain valves are closed.
4. Do NOT smoke near meter, or use meter near an open flame, when metering flammable liquids. Fire or Explo­sion could result.
5. This meter is not intended for use on liquids, which re­quire 3A Sanitary equipment for human consumption. It may be used on edible liquids, which do not spoil easily, such as vegetable oils, liquid sweeteners & similar.
Install the Flow Meter and Accessories in compli-
ance with all applicable Local, State & Federal
Construction, Electrical and Safety Codes.
Installation
 Positive Displacement meters are designed to operate full
of liquid. The meter should be installed in a manner, so
that it remains full of liquid at all times.
The flow meter is not designed to operate on air, but the design and materials of construction allow for operation
on vapor for short periods of time without damage to the
oval gears or flow meter internals.
 The meter should always be supported by bolting firm-
ly to a solid platform or foundation. Never use the con­necting pipe as the sole means of support.
 For most accurate measurement, the flow meter should
operate with some backpressure (avoid delivering into an open vessel).
 The flow meter can operate with liquid going Left-to-Right,
Right-to-Left or Vertical Up, but it must be installed with
rotor shafts in horizontal position (= with vertical end
covers). Failure to observe this will impact negatively on flow meter accuracy.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE
TS Series V●● assemblies are rated for operation from -40°F/+180°F (-40°C/+80°C). However:
 They are not suitable for cryogenic service.  When operating temperature exceeds +120°F
(+50°C), pressure rating is reduced. Please refer to FPP Technical Manual for details.
OPERATING PRESSURE
Maximum non-shock Operating Pressure is: Flow Meter/Strainer : 400 PSI (28 BAR) at 100°F Air Eliminator/Valves: 150
The flow meter should never be operated in excess of this pressure. Care should be taken to eliminate thermal and hydraulic shock conditions, so that system pressure never exceeds Maximum Working Pressure rating.
 Hydraulic shock can be harmful to flow meter and other
system components. Consideration to eliminate hydraulic shock should be given in selection of pump and design of the piping system.
 Protective caps installed in flow meter flanges prior to
shipment should remain in place until you are ready to install in the piping system.
 It is recommended that a Strainer be installed upstream
of each flow meter, to prevent damage from foreign mat­ter, such as welding slag, pipe scale or parts breaking off other equipment. If using an FPP right-angle strainer:
 Inlet can be either from the front or the rear of the
strainer (inlet flange & strainer basket cover have same bolt pattern, and can be reversed in the field).
 Allow adequate space for removal of strainer basket
cover, so strainer basket can be cleaned.
 10” for models TS10A, TS15A & TS20A.  11” for model TS30A
 If no fluid is specified, strainer basket comes standard
with 40 mesh.
We also offer:
 20 mesh for high viscosity liquids, such as heavy
fuel oil, automotive lube oils, liquid sugars, molas­ses, etc.
 100 mesh for gasoline, alcohol & solvent service.
 200 mesh for LPG (Propane) service.
 Flush the system to remove all debris, scale and welding
slag prior to flow meter installation. If this is not possi-
ble, temporarily remove rotors (oval gears), and reinstall after the system has been flushed.

Installation & Start-Up/Operation
R
e
 Apply pipe compound to male threads, to install the two
companion flanges. Tighten to a position, that allows
the meter to bolt to the companion flanges, free of pipe stress.
 When installing the flow meter, consider future mainte-
nance of both flow meter and accessories. The meter can be serviced in place, provided block (isolation) valves are included, and adequate space allowed.
 Flow meters are designed to withstand a certain level of
vibrations, such as might be experience on retail delivery
tank trucks. If the flow meter will be used in a system with higher levels of vibration, it must be protected with:
 Vibration isolating pad under the mounting pedestal.  Vibration isolators (flexible hose) on both inlet & outlet.
 In critical installations a by-pass line is recommended,
so flow can continue while flow meter is being serviced.
 When an Air Eliminator is included in the flow meter
assembly, the strainer/air eliminator must be in horizontal position, since the air eliminator operates on a gravity principle. A few drops of liquid may be expelled when the air eliminator vents, so vent ports should be piped back to storage or to a collection tank (sloping towards the tank).
 If an Air Check Valve is included in the flow meter as-
sembly, a modified air eliminator is used. One of the air eliminator vents must be connected to the port on the air check valve, using pipe, tubing or a flexible hose.
This connection must be made in the field, as we do not know what would be a convenient/practical path for the connection. Similarly, we do not know whether local reg­ulations or codes dictate materials to be used for this con­nection.
 Thermal relief valves are recommended, and should be
installed whenever it is possible to block (isolate) the flow meter between two valves. The pressure rise in a closed system, from just a few degrees increase in temperature, can be many times normal working pressure.
 Connections for calibration should be provided during
installation. An easy means for diverting flow into a cali­bration vessel (or master meter) should be considered.
The ideal installation incorporating all of these recommenda­tions is shown at the bottom of the page.
Start-Up/Operation
Very slowly fill the system with liquid, to avoid operating
the flow meter on air or vapor. This can be accomplished in the following manner:
1. Throttle the meter inlet valve, and allow the system to fill slowly by gravity.
2. Crack open the outlet valve. Start the pump, and then slowly crack open the inlet valve, filling the meter slowly before fully opening the inlet and outlet valves.
In normal operations:
 Avoid sudden changes in temperature.  Avoid sudden changes in flow rate.  Gradually increase or decrease the flow rate.

Changing Direction of Flow
TS Series flow meters can operate in either direction. Standard assembly, when facing the flow meter, has the flow going Left-to-Right, unless specified differently at time of the order. A label with the word INLET is placed on the inlet flange, as assembled at the factory.
When the meter is first installed, check that the register is turning correctly when you start the flow. If it is not (or it is attempting to run backwards), check position of the face gear (11E) on the calibrator drive shaft (21A), and if neces­sary correct the position of the face gear versus the packing gland pinion (11D) as explained below.
Left-to-Right flow = Face gear below packing gland pinion
Right-to-Left flow = Face gear above packing gland pinion
The direction of flow can be changed in the field. This re­quires the following steps:

 Any accessories (strainer and/or preset valve) attached to
the flow meter must be moved to the opposite side.
 Strainer inlet is standard from the front. When mov-
ing the strainer to Right-to-Left position, switch the inlet flange and strainer basket cover. If rear inlet is preferred, leave flange & basket cover as is, when moving the strainer.
 Standard outlet on Preset Valve or Air Check Valve
is towards the front. When moving the valve to Right­to-Left position:
 Air Check Valve: Rotate the valve 180º, then in-
stall tubing connecting air eliminator to the valve.
 Preset Valve: Rotate the valve 180º. Disassem-
ble the linkage, and re-assemble mirror image to original assy.

 Reverse the position of the face gear (11E) on the cali-
brator drive shaft (21A).
 First remove screws (16 & 17) to detach the dust cover
(15) from the RAD (14 = Right Angle Drive) adaptor. Now refer to photo in next column.
 Notice position of the face gear (11E) on the calibrator
drive shaft (21A) in relation to the packing gland pinion (11D).
Remove E-ring (21F) with a screwdriver or small pliers. As shown, the E-ring is installed below the face gear, where it is not visible in the photo.

 Now loosen the set screw (18) with a 3/32” Allen wrench,
to release the calibrator drive shaft bushing (21B).
 Slide the calibrator drive shaft bushing (21B) out of the
bottom of the RAD (14).
 Pull the calibrator drive shaft assembly out of the RAD.
 Remove the face gear (11E), and turn it 180º, so that the
gear teeth are facing in the opposite direction from the original installation.
 Re-assemble the parts in reverse order.
 Make sure that the calibrator drive shaft bushing flange
(21B), is tight against the RAD (14).
 Tighten the hex nut (21C)
 Re-install the E-ring (21F) in the appropriate grove (in
the above example, the E-ring now goes into groove above the pinion
).
 Inspect to make sure that there is slight backlash be-
tween the pinion gear (11D) and the face gear (11E). They must engage without binding or slipping.

Flow Meter Calibration at the Factory
All TS Series meters are accuracy tested prior to shipment. Data from accuracy testing is not supplied with flow meters, since results achieved on our test fluid do not apply to actual liquid of operation, unless the two liquids have identical vis­cosity characteristics.
When calibrated on a liquid with 1 cP viscosity, if the flow meter is not field recalibrated on actual liquid of service, we expect that the flow meter will be:
 Under by 1-2% on a liquid with 0.5 cP viscosity.
 Over by 0.35% to 0.6% on a liquid with 10 cP viscosity.
 Over by 0.7% to 1.2% on a liquid with 100 cP viscosity.
The accuracy curve will not shift significantly at higher vis­cosities, even if the actual operating liquid has viscosities up to 500,000 cP.
Accuracy curves of individual flow meters vary slightly. Such minor variations are corrected in the mechanical cali­brator. In our calibration procedure, the meter calibrator is set for zero error, when operating at 95-100% of capacity on 1 cSt viscosity fluid.
Flow Meter Calibration in The Field
Since we cannot test on actual fluid of operation, it is the responsibility of the buyer to field calibrate:
 In place of service
 On actual operating liquid.
This will minimize errors arising from:
A. Operation at a different flow rate. B. Operation on a fluid with different viscosity
It is recommended that written records be maintained on all flow meters. These records should include:
 Supplier and Service Department phone number.  Date of installation.  Details of maintenance performed.  Date & result of each re-calibration, with % change made
on flow meter calibrator assy.
Mechanical TS Series meters have a mechanical drive train directly from the rotors (oval gears) to the register. To con­vert rotor movement to volume reading on the register, this drive train includes 3 calibration components:
 Packing gland pinion (11D)
can have 12 or 24 teeth, while the face gear (11E) always has 24 teeth, re­sulting in a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio. The appropriate ratio de­pends upon flow meter model size & specific unit of calibration selected for the register.
 Mechanical calibrator (19).
This component makes minute adjustments to final calibration to compensate for individual flow meter characteristics, viscosity of fluid being metered, and flow meter wear factor.
11D
11E
19
 A ratio gear plate installed below the mechanical register.
Gearing on this gear plate is specific to flow meter model & unit of calibration selected. Optimum ratio is between
0.5000 & 5.0000 for best service life.
The mechanical register is common to all flow meter mod­els, so it is possible to move registers from one flow me-
ter to another. Do NOT move the ratio gear plate from
one flow meter to another.
Frequency of Re-Calibration
.
In installations subject to local Weights&Measures regula-

tions, frequency of recalibration must conform to such regulations.
 If local authorities issue regulations for non-W&M flow
meters, such regulations must be observed.
 If user is ISO9000 certified, user ISO standards will indi-
cate frequency of re-calibration for instrumentation. Those standards should be observed.
When no regulations or standards apply, our recommenda­tions are:
A. Calibrate immediately after installation.
B. Re-calibrate after 15-30 days.
C. Re-calibrate after 180 days and again after 360 days.
After the run-in calibration (B) and follow-up calibrations (C), it is possible to evaluate degree of change under normal operating conditions. Based on values found, and total vol­ume being metered under normal operating conditions, de­cide whether a 6, 12 or possibly 24 month schedule should be adopted.

Flow Meter Calibration
Y
Procedures & Methods
Flow meters used in systems where the flow rate can fluctu­ate, should be tested at minimum, intermediate & maximum flow rates. In non-W&M service, a flow meter always oper­ating at a steady flow rate, can be tested at that flow only.
All tests should be repeated 3 times to confirm repeatability. All tests should be of at least 60 second duration, to mini­mize the effect of flow meter error during start-up and shut­down.
After calibrating a known volume (X) into an accurate

prover, through a master meter, or against a certified scale with adequate resolution, compare with register reading (Y) and calculate correction:
X-
X
x 100
= % correction
 When re-calibration has established that a correction is
required, remove the dust cover (15) from the RAD (14 = right angle drive adaptor), by detaching screws (16 & 17).
14
This provides access to the calibrator assembly (19), which has a dial on the front, and is marked with direc­tions for + and - Volume. Each graduation of this dial represents approx. 0.06% change
19
16
17
The dial has a slot for a
screw driver in the center, so
the setting can be changed. As you turn the center, you will hear two ‘clicks’ for each grad­uation mark. Each ‘click’ rep­resents approximately 0.03% change in the setting.
15
 When prover/master meter reading is less than flow
meter register reading, add percentage calculated
by turning the calibrator in the + volume direction.
 When prover/master meter reading is more than flow
meter register reading, subtract percentage calcu-
lated by turning the calibrator in the - volume direction.
 After correcting calibrator setting, circulate product
through the flow meter for a few minutes. Then perform at least 3 more tests, to confirm flow meter accuracy & repeatability.
 If the flow meter does not repeat, it will likely require a
new set of rotors (oval gears).
Before ordering new gears, inspect the measuring chamber for scratches or wear. If the measuring chamber is scratched or scored beyond what can be smoothed with emery paper, flow meter case should be replaced.
 Finally:
 Re-seal the flow meter.
 Enter date and % correction on the permanent flow
meter record.
As long as degree of change is moderate, the flow meter is in good condition.
If there is a sudden significant jump in correction required, the rotors are likely about worn out. Rotor replacement should be considered now, rather than letting further wear cause rotors to start rubbing on flow meter housing.
Do NOT change setting, unless re-calibration of the flow meter has established the need for correction.

Servicing the Flow Meter
! SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS !
 REMOVE ALL INTERNAL PRESSURE
BEFORE OPENING THE FLOW METER.
 DRAIN & RINSE THE FLOW METER
BEFORE SERVICING.
 IF IT IS NECESSARY TO TRANSPORT OR
SHIP THE FLOW METER TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION FOR SERVICE, IT MUST BE RINSED 3 TIMES WITH A NEUTRAL FLUID PRIOR TO TRANSPORTATION/SHIPMENT.
Installation, Maintenance & Service must be performed by personnel:
A. Qualified to work on this type of equipment. B. Familiar with all applicable local codes and ordi-
nances covering the type of service, where the flow meter is used (gasoline, LPG, etc.).
Avoid pipe strain and stress when making flow meter re­pairs. The weight of piping and the flow meter should be supported independently. This means that the meter can be serviced without affecting piping alignment.
Avoid prying or exerting heavy pressure on precision parts, as this could affect the performance of the flow meter.
Assure that all machined parts are free of burrs and nicks. Stone all machined surfaces if necessary to remove burrs.
14a
26
Always coat bolt threads with an anti-seize, or an appropri­ate lubricant to prevent thread damage, and to assure prop­er torque values are applied when reassembling.
If flow meter threads are damaged, repair using inserts.
Servicing the Mechanical Drive Components
Flow meter wear depends upon several variable factors (flow rate vs model capacity, lubricity of the liquid, total vol­ume being metered annually and maintenance of mechani­cal register, preset and/or printer), so it is impossible to pre­dict the expected life for each component.
There are 8 parts or components, which will require inspec­tion and/or replacement at some point. In the order they are likely to occur, these are:
Regular Maintenance (1-3 years)
A. Face Gear (11E) & Packing Gland Pinion (11D) B. Packing Gland O-ring (11B)
Longer Term Wearing Components (2-5 years)
C. Calibrator Drive Shaft Assembly (21) D. Gear Plate, internal (4)
Very Long Term Wearing Components (3-10 years)
E. Packing Gland (11) F. Oval Gears (2), or inspection of measuring chamber
Longest Term Wearing Components (5-20 years)
G. Post Plate assembly (3) H. Calibrator Assembly (19)
Of these, only A, C & H can be performed without taking the pressure off the system and draining the flow meter. The remaining all require opening of flow meter interior.
The first step is to remove the dust cover ( from the RAD (14 = Right Angle Drive adaptor).
A. Face Gear (11E) & Packing Gland Pinion (11D) C. Calibrator Drive Shaft Assembly (21)
Always replace Face Gear & Packing Gland Pinion together. They can be ordered under a single P/No. (see page …).

D. Gear Plate, Internal (4) F. Oval Gears (2), or inspection of measuring chamber
The wearing parts in the Gear Plate assembly are the reduc­tion gears. On a longer time scale, the bushing in the gear plate will wear out. The gear plate assembly can be rebuilt or replaced in one of 3 ways, with d.3 being what is most commonly required:
d.1 Complete gear plate assembly
d.2 Gear plate/bushing assembly only, re-using gears.
d.3 Repair kit, with reduction gears & fasteners.
First relieve system pressure and drain the flow meter.
Also, detach the mechanical register stack, to take the weight off of flow meter front cover.
If the mechanical register stack includes a preset counter, detach the linkage from the trip ring (see top of next column) prior to taking the register stack off.

as required.
 Prior to removing the rotors (oval gears), use a soft pencil
to make an alignment mark where the gears engage. This will make re-assembly easier.
The oval gears can now be inspected or replaced as re­quired. When placing the oval gears back on the posts, make sure that they are aligned and spin freely on the posts. If they are not aligned correctly, they will disen­gage.
 The measuring chamber can now be inspected. Remove
any deposits using a fine emery cloth or wire brush. Be careful to remove any particulate material, which can cause the meter to jam.
A minor scratch in chamber surface can be carefully smoothed out, but be careful not to cause scoring or to change the dimensions. If the measuring chamber shows signs of scoring from rotors rubbing, it should be re­placed.

The posts are expected to last through several sets of rotors. When the posts show signs of wear, or if they have been bent due to hydraulic shock, the complete postplate assembly must be replaced.
 If hydraulic shock is suspected, the cause should be
identified and eliminated.
 If the posts show uneven wear (bearings cutting
grooves into the post), the differential pressure across the flow meter is too high, due to a combination of ex­cessive flow rate & viscosity. Solutions are:
1. Reduce the flow rate.
2. Increase the temperature to reduce the viscosity.
3. Use a larger flow meter.
 Re-assemble in reverse order.
H. Calibrator Assembly (19)
The calibrator assembly is a mechanical device, which will wear out eventually. Calibrator wear can be accelerated by failure to clean and lubricate the components in the mechan­ical register stack (refer to separate manuals). If flow meter re-calibration gives erratic results (non-repeating), it is likely that the calibrator is worn out.
To replace the calibrator:

Troubleshooting the Flow Meter
Prior to opening or disassembly of any flow meter, all internal pressure must be relieved and all liquid must be drained. This must be done in accordance with applica­ble company and local codes & ordinances.
Make sure that all necessary safety precautions have been taken, including proper clothing, personal safety equipment and fire safety equipment if required.
No Flow
Blocked strainer basket. Clean the basket.
  Faulty or non-functioning pump. Repair pump.  Valve stuck in closed position. Check and repair valves.  Flow meter ‘frozen’ due to build-up of chemical salts (or
frozen water) inside the measuring chamber. Clean the flow meter (see D & F on page 1.12), and inspect for damage.
 Meter jammed on a particle, that has passed through a
damaged strainer basket. Remove particle (see D & F on page 1.12) and replace rotors if necessary. Replace strainer basket, see page 2.1).
Reduced Flow Rate
Strainer basket partially blocked. Clean the basket (see

page 2.1).
 Pump not functioning correctly. Repair pump.  Valve stuck in partially closed position. Check valves and
repair.
 Meter rotors (oval gears) partially ‘salted’ with chemical
deposits, slowing the movement. Clean the meter (see D & F on page 1.12).
Product Flows, but the register does not record
Check packing gland pinion (11D) & face gear (11E).

 If disengaged, re-assemble the drive shaft assembly
correctly.
 If worn, replace pinion & face gear as a set.
 If the calibrator drive shaft turns, the problem is either in
the calibrator assembly (19) or in the mechanical register.
 Remove the calibrator assembly (see H on page 1.13).
Insert the drive shat and turn by hand. If it turns smoothly without binding, the problem is in the register.
 Refer to Veeder-Root register manual & parts list.
 If the calibrator drive shaft does not turn, the problem is
either in the packing gland or in reduction gears on the bearing plate.
 Check the connections between the pulser and the elec-
tronic register.
 Check pulser output. Replace pulser (or SCL) if needed.  If product is flowing, and the flow meter is generating a
pulse signal, the problem is in the electronic register. Please refer to the manual for the electronic register.
Product Flows, register does not record correctly
If the error factor is constant, the flow meter is fine. The likely cause is either:
 Incorrect K Factor in the electronic register. Re-calibrate
the meter and correct the K Factor.
 A constant problem with air getting into the system. Re-
view system design and control valves.
If the error is random, the likely cause is either:
 Poor cable connections (insulation not trimmed, or stray
strands getting close to incorrect contacts). This can be either on the scaler board or where pulse signal is con­nected to the register. Inspect and correct connections as necessary.
 Valve leaking, allowing a portion of the system to drain.
Check & repair valves.
 An intermittent problem with air in the system, combined
with inadequate air elimination. Review system design and control valves.
 Interference from other electrical equipment nearby., pos-
sibly combined with sub-standard cables.
Broken Rotors (Oval Gears = #2)
System started on air/vapors.

Replace rotors and inspect meter case (#1) for damage; repair/replace as necessary. Slowly fill the system with liquid before starting the pump. Gradually increase flow rate to full capacity.
 Rotors jammed on a foreign particle (welding slag, part
broken off other equipment, etc.). Replace rotors and inspect meter case (#1) for damage; repair/replace as necessary. Add a strainer in front of the flow meter. Slowly fill the system with liquid before start­ing the pump. Gradually increase flow rate to full capaci­ty.
Breaking Teeth on Rotors (Oval Gears = #2) Breaking Teeth/shaft on Reduction Gears (#4D/F/G
These are signs of hydraulic shock conditions in the sys­tem. Common sources:
 Starting or stopping flow too rapidly. Replace damaged
components and correct operational practices.
 Pump by-pass not adjusted properly. Re-adjust as nec-
essary.
 Open connection to another portion of the system with
higher flow rates. Close connection prior to use.
Leakage from End Covers
The seals (and possibly end covers) have been damaged due to excessive pressure. There are two possible sources:
 Starting or stopping flow too rapidly. Replace damaged
components and correct operational practices.
 The flow meter is in a system, where it can be isolated
between two valves. Add a Thermal Relief Valve to bleed off excess pressure when the temperature rises.

Time frame for replacement of regular maintenance items and long term consumables (rotors, packing gland & calibrator) varies a great deal. Factors include user maintenance schedule, fluid lubricity, flow rate versus model capacity, intermittent versus continuous duty & total volume. In heavy duty service, rotors may last from 2-5 years, while in lighter duty service, they may last from 10-20 years or more.
