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.

The TS Series meter is designed to provide:

V●● Assy: Drive to a mechanical register (covered in separate manual).

F●● Assy: Electrical pulse signal to an electronic register installed on the flow meter.

W●● Assy: Electrical pulse signal to a remote electronic register.

In the two electronic versions, the flow meter is 100% glandless with static O-ring seals only. An internal magnet turns in the vertical plane; a sensor mounted in flow meter end cover reads changes in the magnetic field, and generates 64 pulses per 360° rotation . Several different signal types are available, to ensure signal compatibility with all electronic registers.

Fluid Compatibility

FPP Meters flow meters are available in anodized aluminum

and stainless steel, with a variety of rotor types and seals, to ensure compatibility with a broad range of liquids. If in doubt about compatibility with a a specific fluid, please refer to the

FPP200 Technical Manual. If that publication does 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.

TS30C 275 PSI 19 BAR 1900 kPa

Strainer² 400 PSI 28 BAR 2750 kPa

Air Eliminator 150 PSI 10 BAR 1035 kPa

(1) Pressure rating is reduced at higher operating temperatures. (2) With optional 150# RF ANSI flanges (std. for TS30C) pressure rating is 275 PSI = 19 BAR = 1900 kPa.

Model Nominal Temperature Rating:

Design temperature: -40°F/+257°F -40°C/+125°C Pulser ATEX listing: -40°F/+140°F -40°C/+60°C

If the operating temperature can exceed +120°F (+50°C), use high temperature (

HT) rotors, code L (or M).

Model Nominal Capacity on low viscosity liquids (1 cP):

TS10C 40 GPM 150 lpm 9 m³/h TS15C 60 GPM 230 lpm 14 m³/h

TS20C 150 GPM 570 lpm 34 m³/h

TS30C W&M 200 GPM 760 lpm 45 m³/h OK to 265 GPM 10 00 lpm 60 m³/h

 Optimum performance (accuracy & service life) is between

50% and 85% of nominal capacity.

 On low viscosity, lubricating liquids, intermittent service to

125% of nominal capacity is acceptable.

 NTEP approvals are with 5:1 turn-down.  OIML approvals are with 10:1 turn-down.  Meters may be used at lower flow rates, but meter error in-

creases below 10% of capacity on low viscosity liquids.

 On higher viscosity liquids, error at low flow rates diminishes

progressively. Over 100 cP performance should be acceptable to 3-5% of capacity, over 1000 cP performance should be acceptable to 1-2% of capacity.

Liquid Viscosity³:

With standard LV rotors, meters may be used to full nominal capacity up to 300 cPs (1500 SSU). When viscosity can exceed 300 cPs (1500 SSU), high viscosity (HV) rotors must be used.

 With HV rotors, meters may be used to full nominal

capacity up to 1000 cPs (5000 SSU).

 Over 1000 cPs (5000 SSU), HV rotors are mandatory.

In high viscosity service, flow meter capacity is reduced according to this table:

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

 Protective caps installed in flow meter flanges prior to

shipment should remain in place until you are ready to install in the piping system.

 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 (see page 1.8) 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 assemblies are rated for: F●● assy See register temperature rating W●● assy -40°F/+225°F (-40°C/+107°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 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.

PSI (10 BAR)

 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.

 Flow meters are designed to withstand a certain level of

vibrations, such as might be experienced on retail deliv-

ery 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.

 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.

 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 no fluid is specified, strainer basket comes standard

with 40 mesh. We also offer:

 20 mesh (std. with HV rotors) for use on high vis-

cosity liquids, such as heavy fuel oil, automotive lube oils, liquid sugars, molasses, etc.

 100 mesh for gasoline, alcohol & solvent service.

is:

(= +38°C)

 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.

 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.

1 . 6

Installation continued & Start-Up/Operation



 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).

 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. Refer a diagram for the suggested installation is shown below.

The optimum flow meter installation should include the components and features shown in this diagram.

OPTIONA L

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.

Flow Meter Communications & Direction of Flow

TS Series meters in F●● & W●● assembly have an internal pulser. The pulse signal generated by the flow meter, can be fed directly to most electronic registers. In such assemblies, flow meter calibration (or re-calibration) is through correction of the K Factor (number of pulses/unit volume) in the electronic register.

In some cases an SCL board (#13) is added to the flow meter assembly. This signal conditioner is added when:

1. Flow meter pulse frequency exceeds the electronic

The electronic register requires a scaled pulse value

(1, 10, 100 or 1000 pulses/volume unit).

Local authorities demand a mechanical calibration device. The SCL includes two dials with setting from 00 to 99. Changing the setting by 1, represents approx.

0.03% correction to the pulse signal.

When flow meter/ELNC register is used in a hazardous zone, the EL2057 (AC/DC power supply & barrier, UL listed) must be used. EL2057 is in a NEMA 7 enclosure (Expl-Proof, but not water proof), so it must be installed under roof or inside a water proof cabinet.

 Pulser plug is removed. Pulser

leads are connected directly to TB2 on the SCL.

 Signal output cable is connected

to TB1.

SCL is not yet approved

for use in the EU.

Note 1 : See CD1000 & CD1001 for installation of intrinsically safe apparatus. Note 2 : Cable lengths are limited by entity parameters. Note 3 : ELPS output option: Install U1, R3 & TB6.

Flow Meter Calibration

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, we expect that flow meters used on:

0.5 cP liquid will under-register by about 2% 10 cP liquid will over-register by 0.35% to 0.6% 100 cP liquid will over-register by 0.7% to 1.5%

This shift in the accuracy curve illustrates the need for recalibration of new flow meters on actual liquid of service, after installation in place of service. The accuracy curve will not shift significantly at higher viscosities, even if the actual operating liquid has viscosities up to 500,000 cP.

Individual flow meters may differ slightly from the norm. Such variations are corrected through the K Factor programmed into the register/controller.

Frequency of Calibration

If the flow meter is used in Custody Transfer service (subject to Weights&Measures regulations), it must obviously be recalibrated in accordance with local W&M regulations. In most cases these regulations call for annual re-calibration, though different time periods apply in some territories.

If the user is ISO9000 certified, user ISO standards will indicate frequency of re-calibration for instrumentation. Those rules should be observed.

If neither W&M regulations, nor internal standards apply, our recommendations are:

A. Calibrate immediately after installation. B. Re-calibrate after 15-30, 180 and 360 days. After the run-in calibration and follow-up calibrations, 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.

Procedures & Methods

Flow meters subject to Weights&Measures regulations, or 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 rate only.

All calibration tests should be:

 Of at least 60 second duration, to minimize the effect of

flow meter error during start-up and shut-down.

 Repeated 3 times to confirm flow meter repeatability.

Flow meters can be calibrated against a prover tank, a pipe prover or a master meter. Please consult with your distributor and/or local regulatory agencies to determine methods available (or required).

 After calibrating a known volume (X) into an accurate

prover, or through a Master Meter (MM), compare with register reading (Y) and calculate correction:

If using a MM, always correct for MM error as shown on MM accuracy curve, for the flow rate used during the test.

X-

x 100

= % correction

 When re-calibration has established that a correction is

required, the procedure varies with flow meter configuration and/or the specific electronic register used. Please refer to register manual for full details & procedures.

A. In some electronic registers, you can enter a revised K

Factor in programming model (the ELNC & EMR³).

B. In some electronic registers, you can run a given vol-

ume, and then tell the register what that volume was. It will update the K Factor based on this (EMR³).

C. If the flow meter includes the SCL (see pages 24 & 25

for more detail), you can use a small screwdriver to change the mechanical calibrator setting. Each setting change (such as from 37 to 38), equals approximately a 0.03% change:

 When prover/master meter reading is less than

flow meter register reading, add percentage cal-

culated to original calibrator setting.

 When prover/master meter reading is more than

flow meter register reading, subtract percentage

calculated from original calibrator.

Circulate product through the flow meter for a few minutes. Then perform at least 3 more tests, to confirm flow meter accuracy & repeatability.

 Finally, enter % correction on the permanent flow meter

record.

WET vs DRY Pulser

This flow meter exists in 2 generations:

1st generation, manufactured from 2007 through 2009

 Has pulser (#10) in SS housing, exposed to the operating fluid.  Pulser is sealed with an O-ring (#16),

held in place by a heavy retainer (#11) with a LARGE center hole.

 Meter must be isolated & drained if pulser must be inspected.

2nd generation, introduced gradually; only type as of Jan 1st, 2010

 Pulser (#10) without housing, sensing magnet position through the wall.  No O-ring, held in place by a thin retainer (#11) with SMALL center hole.  Pulser can be inspected without draining the flow meter.

Make sure to identify which type you are working on!

Trouble Shooting the Flow Meter

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.).

Purpose

This high accuracy electronic positive displacement flow meter is designed to provide reliable liquid measurement with a minimum of service requirements.

Functionality

The liquid moves the rotors, which in turn drive a single magnet rotating in the vertical plane. Each 360º turn of the magnet generates 64 pulses, Quadrature or single channel.

If there are frequency limitations in the electronic register, it might be necessary to include an optional scaler board to reduce the pulse resolution. When required, this component fits inside the pulser enclosure in meter front cover.

Assembly

The flow meter can be assembled for Left-to-Right, Bottomto-Top or Right-to-Left flow. The flow meter performs equally well in all directions, but when Quadrature pulse signal is used, it is necessary to reverse signal leads if used for a different flow direction from that originally intended.

Installation: See page 1.6

Maintenance

Electronic TS Series flow meters have no parts, which require replacement in the short term. The flow meter should be re-calibrated periodically, and when meter wear factor increases beyond the norm, the rotors should be replaced.

Trouble Shooting & Service

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 page ), and inspect for damage.

 Meter jammed on a particle that has passed through a

damaged strainer basket. Remove particle and replace rotors if necessary, replace strainer basket.

Reduced Flow Rate

Strainer basket partially blocked. Clean the basket.

  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 page).

Product Flows, but the register does not record

Check power supply to the register.

  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.

Breaking Teeth on Rotors (Oval Gears)

This is a sign 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.

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.

Flow Meter - Disassembly

Standard Optional Terminal Block Board SCL signal conditioner

Signal cable removed Not yet approved for from TB1 for clarity use in the EU.

This flow meter comes standard with a terminal block board for easy connections.

When the receiving instrument has special requirements (to K Factor, pulse frequency, signal width or similar), it might be necessary to add the optional SCL signal conditioner. The SCL then replaces the terminal block board.

In field retrofit, remove plug from pulser cable & strip leads, so cable can be attached to TB2. Pulse output signal cable is connected to TB1.

1 . 17

This electronic flow meter, with only 2 moving parts, is available in two versions:

F●● Assembly with register installed

In this version the electronic register is attached to the register mounting pad (#7), which is installed directly on top of flow meter case (#1). This permits service of the flow meter without removing the electronic register, eliminating the risk of unintentional swapping of registers between flow meters.

W●● Assembly for use with remote register

When the flow meter is used with a remote electronic register, whether for practical or temperature reasons, items 7, 8, 9, 18 & 26 in the parts list are deleted.

It does not get any simpler than this!

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.).

Relieve All Internal Pressure Prior to Opening

Drain Liquid prior to Working on Flow Meter

Rinse with Neutral Liquid prior to Seasonal Storage

Triple Rinse with Neutral Liquid

prior to Shipment for any reason.

Servicing the Electronic Flow Meter

There are only 4 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. Pulser O-ring (16) 1st generation/WET pulser only Not applicable to 2nd generation, see page 1.15.

Very Long Term Wearing Components (3-10 years)

B. Bearing Plate assembly (4) C. Oval Gears (2)

Longest Term Wearing Components (5-20 years)

D. Post Plate assembly (3)

Electronic Components

The electronic components have an indefinite life expectancy, but can fail if the system is wired incorrectly, poorly grounded, cables used are not to minimum standard required or the system is hit by lightening.

While we do not expect that these components will need replacement, instructions are provided in case it should become necessary.

Flow Meter - Disassembly

When servicing meters with Teflon

seals, replace all seals every time

the flow meter is serviced.

A. Pulser O-ring (16), or Pulser (10)

First relieve system pressure and drain the flow meter.

1. Remove 4 screws (12a) from the dust cover (12), and detach the dust cover.

2. Release signal cable from TB1 on the board (13).

3. Release pulser (10) leads from J1 on terminal block board/SCL (13).

4. Remove 2 terminal block board/SCL screws (13a), and take the board (13) out. Place on a clean & dry surface.

5. Remove 3 retainer screws (11a), and detach the retainer (11). The pulser (10) can now be removed, so the O-ring (16) can be replaced.

 Reassemble in reverse order, checking all O-ring seals

for damage. Teflon O-rings must be replaced whenever the flow meter has been opened.

B. Bearing Plate (4) C. Oval Gears (2)

First relieve system pressure and drain the flow meter.

In a W●● flow sensor with remote register, items 7, 8, 9, 18 & 26 are not included. Here the front cover can be removed directly for access to flow meter internals after signal cable has been disconnected. In an F●● flow meter with register, remove the two screws (18) from the clamp (8) and take the clamp off - leaving the register in place on the flow meter.

1. Remove 4 screws (12a) from the dust cover (12), and detach the dust cover.

2. Release signal cable from TB1 on the board (13).

3. Remove cover screws (19) from the front cover, and slide the cover off the flow meter (downwards), leaving the register in place on the flow meter. Be careful that the plug on the output cable slips up through the stand-off (9); if the plug catches on the edge, it might pull off.

1 . 18

4. Remove 4 screws (20) from bearing plate assembly (4), and pull the bearing plate off the meter body. If the bearing plate is stuck to meter body, gently tap with a rubber mallet, or use a 5/16-8 x 1” jack bolt to push it free.

5. Inspect inside of bearing plate (4) for scoring (minor markings is acceptable). If the bearing plate is scored, it should be replaced

6. Verify that the drive shaft (29A) for the magnet assembly is turning smoothly.

6.1 If it wobbles, replace bearings (2 x 29B).

6.2 If the drive shaft is worn, replace magnet drive assembly (29A, B & C).

7. Before removing oval gears, mark across both gears (2)

with a soft pencil for alignment during re-assembly.

7.1 Extract the gears, and inspect for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.

7.2 Inspect the interior of the measuring chamber and

the post plate assembly for wear or damage. Remove any deposits using a fine emery cloth, or fine wire brush; be careful not to score or damage any of the internal parts.

7.3 If posts, or post plate, are worn, the complete

assembly must be replaced. To replace, see D.

 Reassemble in reverse order:

 Align oval gears on mark made prior to disassembly.

 Installing new gears, the lower gear must be at 90° to

the upper gear, when the upper gear is horizontal. Make sure that the gears turn freely on the shafts, and do not rub or bind against the housing (1). Nor should

there be excessive clearance. Leave the top gear with the slot for the coupling (29A) in horizontal position.

 Re-attach the bearing plate (4) with coupling/magnet

(29) in the up position. Align with dowel pins, and

TS Series - Exploded View, Electronic

When servicing meters with Teflon

seals, replace all seals every time

the flow meter is serviced.

make sure that coupling is horizontal to match up to the gear. Gently push into place.

 Turn the magnet (29C) with two fingers, to ensure that

gears are turning freely in the measuring chamber.

 Re-install the front cover (5) and O-ring (17). Make

sure that the drain plug (24) is located at the bottom of

the flow meter.

 Check all O-ring seals for damage. Teflon O-rings

must be replaced whenever the flow meter has been opened.

 Pull signal cable back down through the stand-off (9)

and re-attach to the terminal block board/SCL (13).

 Replace dust cover and re-seal the flow meter.

D. Post Plate assembly (3)

First relieve system pressure and drain the flow meter.

1. Remove cover screws (19) from flow meter rear cover (6), and take the rear cover off.

2. Remove 4 screws (20) from the post plate assembly (3), and pull the post plate assembly straight back. If the post plate assembly is stuck to meter body, gently tap with a rubber mallet, or use a 5/16-8 x 1” jack bolt to push it free.

Do not use a hammer on the posts!

3. Inspect the inside of the post plate assembly (3) for scoring (minor markings are acceptable). If the post plate assembly is scored, or posts are worn, it must be replaced.

 Re-assemble in reverse order:

 Attach the post plate assembly to meter housing (1); it

must attach to the side marked with a dimple on the flat

side. Align on dowel pins and fasten.

 Next re-install the rear cover (6) and O-ring (17). Make

sure that the drain plug (24) is located at the bottom of

the flow meter.

 Check all O-ring seals for damage. Teflon O-rings must

be replaced whenever the flow meter has been opened.

To check Pulser (10), or Terminal Block Board/SCL (13):

Same process as in A.

Terminal Block Board

Visual inspection of cables & terminals.

Pulser

The most practical field test is to install a new pulser. If the problem persists, the original pulser is good. The problem has now been isolated to the electronic register (either programming, or register failure).

SCL

When this optional component is included, please refer to the SCL section in this manual (pages 1.25 & 1.26).

SCL (Scaler/Calibrator/Linearizer)

Description: Tuthill SCL is a small electronic device designed to provide the function of a pulse Scaler, an electronic Calibrator and Linearizer. This electronics package replaces a mechanical gear plate and mechanical calibrator while at the same time providing the ability to improve the accuracy of a metering device during low flow operation, thus improving the overall meter accuracy, and extending the flow range of the metering device. The SCL may be used in conjunction with other Tuthill electronics to solve many of your electronic interface requirements.

 Linearizer : 32 points maximum

 Calibrator Range : +/- 3.0%

 Output pulse on-time : Fixed by firmware

OPERATION:

The SCL may be used to perform a number of functions depending upon the users application. The following is a brief description of several of the SCL functions.

SCALER MODE:

When operating in the Scaler mode only, the SCL applies a single error correction factor (ECF) to the incoming pulse signal. If a single correction factor is applied to the entire range of meter frequency inputs then the output frequency is proportional to the input frequency times the ECF (SCL Pulses out = SCL Pulses in times ECF). If the ECF is 1.0 (no scaling factor) the output frequency is equal to the input frequency.

As an example, use this feature when the customer’s electronics requires a precise frequency or pulse resolution input. If the customer’s electronics required 100 pulses per liter, then 100 PPL becomes the base pulse resolution based on which all input pulses are scaled. If, as an example, the meter is providing 108 pulses per liter, then an ECF of 0.925 (100/108) would be programmed into the SCL, and the output pulse frequency would be equivalent to the selected base resolution of 100 PPL.

LINEARIZER MODE:

If a metering device is not producing an output within the limits of accuracy required for an application, the SCL may be used as a linearizer. A linearizer is a device, which recognizes the output frequency of the metering device, and applies a correction factor (ECF), chosen for that frequency to improve the accuracy of the metering device.

The number of ECF points chosen for a specific application depends upon the accuracy of the metering device. In weights and measure applications, there is an ECF applied at each flow rate point where the meter accuracy varies by

0.25% from the previous flow rate point.

The ECF data is stored electronically in the SLC at the factory . The electronic chip storing this data is permanently attached to the printed circuit board. The ECF chip is marked with a code, that is used to reference the exact set of ECF data, that is supplied in your SCL device.

CALIBRATOR MODE:

The SCL is equipped with two rotary switches S3 and S4, and a two position switch S2. The three switches allow the SCL to adjust the pulse output up or down by 3%.

This allows the operator, or W&M authorities to calibrate the meter without having to alter scale factors in customer electronics. This feature is designed to replace mechanical calibrators used in the field for years to adjust the meter output to accurately match the volume in a proving vessel.

The calibrator feature may be used if the SCL in being used as a scaler only, or as a scaler/linearizer.

SWITCHES:

S1 : Allows the choice of either a single channel input,

or a two channel quadrature input.

S2 : Is used in conjunction with S3 and S4.

If in the minus (-) position, an increase in the S3 and S4 switch settings will decrease the pulse output. A decrease in pulse output will increase the volume in a prover vessel. If in the plus (+) position, an increase in the S3 and S4 will increase the pulse output. An increase in pulse output will decrease the volume in the prover vessel.

S3/S4 Adjust the SCL pulse output up or down +/-3.0%.

S3 and S4 will allow for 00-99 settings. Each increment changed in this setting, changes the SCL pulse output by approximately 0.03%

METER CALIBRATION:

Flow meter re-calibration should be on a volume



equal to 1 minute of flow at maximum flow rate.

 All tests should be performed 3 times under identi-

cal conditions to confirm repeatability.

 Maintain a permanent file for each flow meter, and

record % change each time the meter is recalibrated.

When the change is significantly higher than that found in previous re-calibrations, it is time to rebuild the flow meter (replace the two oval gears).

METER CALIBRATION: The calibrator allows you to

adjust the output of the SCL up or down, like a mechanical calibrator, +/- 3% in increments of 0.03%.

 After calibrating a known volume (X) into an accurate

prover (or through a master meter with adequate resolution), compare with register reading (Y) and calculate correction:

To reduce the volume in a prover vessel, place switch

S2 in the plus(+) position.

X-

x 100

= % correction

 Adjust the S3 and S4 to the position required for the

necessary volume reduction in the prover can. Switch S3 and S4 represent readings of 00 to 99, and each increment will adjust the output approximately 0.03%.

Example:

Using a 50 gallon (189.27 liter) prover (can), the can reads 17.3 cubic inches (284 ml) high. The meter error is (284/189,270) = 0.0015 or 0.15%. To adjust the meter output, place S2 in the positive position, and set S3 and S4 to read 05. This is approximately a 0.15% adjustment.

Activate the Reset push button switch to enter the new program settings. Retest the flow meter.

 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.

METER CALBRATION: INCREASED PRECISION.

The standard method for calculating the single point adjustment is to obtain the error as a percentage of the desired test volume. In the previous examples, an excess volume in the prover vessel of 284 ml became 0.15% and the adjustment was 05 on S3 and S4.

However, the 0.15% correctly needs to be applied to the nominal ECF for the particular meter profile in order to more precisely calculate the adjustment for S3 and S4. The nominal ECF is the particular profile base divided by the natural meter pulse resolution.

As an example, a meter type which is scaled to 100 ppl and has 410 ppg pulse resolution, has a nominal ECF of

378.5/410 = 0.9232. 0.15% of 9232 is 13.84. When divided by 3, the switch setting is 04.6. In this example, 4.6 is rounded up to 05. This is the same result as before because the ECF is close to unity (1.0000). If the ECF was

0.4200, then the switch setting would be 02.

There are applications where the nominal ECF is not near unity. In those cases, the nominal ECF needs to be known and used for the calculation. If the standard calculation is used, the adjustment would be excessive and the meter technician would have to estimate the reduction in his settings and perform an additional test run.

 To increase the volume in the prover vessel. Place

switch S2 in the negative (-) position, and set switches S3 and S4 to the proper settings to adjust the output. Activate the Reset push button switch to enter the new data.

NOTE: If S2 is in the plus (+) position, and S3 and S4

are at 15 as an example, then moving the posi-

tion of S3 and S4 to 00 will provide a (0.03 x 15) =.45% increase in the prover volume. To obtain a greater increase in the prover volume, S2 must be placed in the minus (-) position and S3 and S4 rotated to the proper position to obtain the desired change in pulse resolution. The opposite is true if S2 is already in the minus (-) position at the beginning of calibration.
