General Information

Liquid Controls Air Actuated/Differential Check V alves are designed to prevent flow whenever air or vapor is present, thereby assuring accurate measurement.

Check Valves are normally closed, spring loaded valves installed on the meter outlet. When fluid enters the valve from the inlet side, and the pressure is greater than the back pressure combined with the force of the spring, the spring will compress, opening the valve and allowing fluid

to pass through (as shown in the figure below). When back pressure plus spring strength is greater than

the fluid pressure entering the meter, the valve will remain closed.

These meters are used in conjunction with the air/vapor eliminator to prevent air/vapor from being metered. This is important when split compartment testing.

!WARNING!

Before disassembly of any meter or accessory component, ALL INTERNAL PRESSURES MUST BE RELIEVED. Pressure must be 0 (zero) psi. Close all liquid and vapor lines between the

meter and liquid or gas pressure source (such as the supply tank, discharge lines and supply lines).

New Installations

When ordered with a new metering system, the Check Valve is supplied mounted to the metering system as shown to the right. A line must be connected to the flange on the outlet side of the 2-stage, preset valve. This flange connection is 2” NPT.

Finally, install a vent line from one port of the check valve to the air eliminator. Plug the other side of the check valve.

Retrofit Installations

Depending on the existing configuration, adding a Check V alve may require modification of the outlet piping.

After the internal pressure is relieved from the system, the output line can be disconnected from the output side of the meter. If the system includes an electronic, 2stage, preset valve, remove it from the meter. The check valve assembly can then be connected to the output side of the meter.

Use the four bolts and washers to fasten the valve assembly to the meter. The valve has an arrow showing the direction of flow. Ensure that the valve is properly oriented.

Tighten the bolts in a crossing pattern. Once the check valve is secure, the electronic, 2-stage, preset valve can be connected to the back check valve as shown to the right. Once this is complete, the output piping may be reconnected to the electronic, 2-stage, preset valve. The preset valve output fitting is 2” NPT.

Run a line from one port of the check valve to the air eliminator. Plug the other side of the check valve.
