Maintenance

The “Exploded View” drawing illustrates assembly of the F-400N series meter. If
your flowmeter needs to be cleaned refer to this drawing when reassembling the
unit. The tapered tube may be cleaned with a soft bottle brush. Use a MILD soap
and water solution for cleaning purposes. Hard water deposits can be removed
with a 5% acetic acid solution (vinegar). Note the floats “up” position.

BLUE-WHITE INDUSTRIES LIMITED WARRANTY

FLOWMETERS are warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship

for up to 12 months from the date of factory shipment. Warranty coverage is
limited to repair or replacement of the defective flowmeter only. Blue-White
Industries does not assume responsibility for any other damage that may occur.

This warranty does not cover damage to the flowmeter that results from misuse
or alterations, nor damage that occurs as a result of: meter misalignment,
improper installation, over tightening, use of non- recommended chemicals, use
of non-reccomended adhesives or pipe dopes, excessive heat or pressure, or
allowing the meter to support the weight of related piping. Flowmeters are tested
and calibrated with water and air only. Although meters may be suitable for other
chemicals, Blue-White cannot guarantee their suitability.

Flowmeters are repaired at the factory only. Call or write the factory to receive a
Return Authorization Number, carefully pack the flowmeter to be returned,
including a brief description of the problem. Note the RA number on the outside
of the carton.

Your Blue-White F-400 / F410 Series In-Line Flowmeter

!

Your Blue-White flowmeter was designed to be easy to install.

!

Please read the Instruction Guideline on the next page before installing your

®

®

flowmeter.

!

This flowmeter is an instrument, special care should be taken when handling
and installing.

Inspection of the Flowmeter and Compatibility

!

Carefully inspect the meter for any damage that may have occurred during
shipping.

!

Remove the plastic tubing that has been inserted during packaging for shipping
reasons.

!

Make sure your pressure, temperature, fluid and other requirements are
compatible with the meter before installation.

!

The maximum temperature capability decreases as the pressure increases.
The max PSI decreases as the temperature increases. See the chart on the
following page.

!

Although the meter may be suitable for other chemicals, Blue-White meters
are tested with water and air only. If you are unsure of the meters compatibility
with your chemical, please consult the factory.

!

Blue-White warranties the flowmeter for use with air and water only.

Installation Guideline

you through the installation.

Danger: Wear eye protection when
installing or removing the flowmeter.

1. The flowmeter must be installed in an

exact vertical plane to ensure
accuracy.

2. Use Teflon® tape (or similar) on all pipe

threads. Acrylic and other exotic
plastics cannot tolerate PVC
Glue and/or pipe dope. Even
fumes can cause crazing. If you
are installing your flowmeter to a
glued pipe installation, install the
flowmeter after all glued fittings
are dried and lines are purged of
all fumes. Never hold the meter
with pliers or like tools. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN!

3. Wall, floor and ceiling mounts are to be carefully aligned and sturdy. Wall, floor

and ceiling supports are recommended as needed. This is to maintain
pipe alignment and to prevent vibration.

4. Valves - Avoid a system that will impose a sudden burst of flow to the
meter. Such a burst will cause the float to impact the float stop with

destructive force which may damage the flowmeter. Solenoid valves, or
other quick opening valves cannot be used unless meter is protected
against sudden bursts of flow. (If necessary a surge chamber should be
installed. This will also be useful in high pressure start-up situations)
The flowmeter is not warrantied against this type of damage.

5. Maximum working pressure not to exceed recommended psi at fluid tempera­ture (see Temperature Vs. Pressure chart).

Pressure Temperature and

Pressure and temperature limits are inversely proportional. At the
maximum suggested pressure the temperature should approach 70°F /

21.1°C; at the maximum suggested temperature the pressure should
approach zero psi. We cannot guarantee our flowmeters will not be
damaged either at or below the suggested limits simply because of many
factors which influence meter integrity; stress resulting from meter
misalignment, damage due to excessive vibration and/or deterioration
caused by contact with certain chemicals as well as direct sunlight.
These situations and others tend to reduce the strength of the materials
from which the meters are manufactured.

Application Note

Flowmeters are tested and calibrated for water or air only.

Although meters may be suitable for other chemicals, Blue-White
cannot guarantee their suitability. It is the responsibility of the user
to determine the suitability of the flowmeter in their application.
