FPP Meters’ Superior Meter Accuracy and Reliability Results from Two

Close-Fitting Oval Gears within A Precision Measuring Chamber

About FPP Meters

FPP Meters, formerly Fluid Power Products, is now a tradename 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 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.

Our meters are used in batching, blending, process control and dispensing of liquid products in all liquid handling industries.

Principle of Operation

electronic. The output for mini oval gear meters is electronic.

In the mechanical meter, the output shaft drives a gear train that provides a registration in engineering units.

In the electronic version of the meter, magnets mounted in the rotors actuate a switch. Each switch closure represents a precise increment of volume. The switch output can then be used as an input to a variety of electronics including scaling counters, batch controllers, computers, analog converters, etc. The combination of accuracy, low cost and few moving parts makes the FPP Meters’ mini oval gear meters a natural for your metering applications.

Fluid Compatibility

If in doubt about compatibility of a specified fluid, contact our manufacturing plant or see Chemical

Compatibility Chart to check compatibility of chemicals to the wetted materials.

Elliptical-shaped rotors are used to accurately measure liquid flow by precisely sweeping a known volume of liquid through a close tolerance measuring chamber.

The meshed rotors seal the inlet from the outlet flow, developing a small pressure differential. As the rotors rotate, they trap a precise quantity of liquid in the area between the rotor and the measuring chamber wall.

The total quantity of flow for one rotation of the rotor pair is four times the volume trapped between the rotor and the measuring chamber wall. Close tolerance machining of the rotors and the measuring chamber means minimum slippage and high accuracy which is essentially unaffected by changes in viscosity. The rate of flow through the meter is proportional to the rotational speed of the rotors. Therefore, the meter output is directly proportional to the rate of flow. The output for Stealth meters can be either mechanical or

Installation & 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 Meter Make Certain:

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

fluids. Fire could result.

5. This meter is not intended for use with fluids

for human consumption.

Install the Meter and Accessories in

Compliance with All Applicable Local, State and

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 such that it remains full of liquid at all times.

Protective caps installed in each meter at the time of shipment should remain in the openings until you are ready to install in the piping system.

Prior to meter installation, the piping system should be flushed to remove all debris. Apply pipe compound to the male threads, to install the companion flanges.

The meter must be installed in the system free of pipe stress. Pipe stress can deform the meter chamber, resulting in loss of accuracy. The meter should always be supported by bolting to a platform. Never use the connecting pipe as the means of support.

When installing the meter consider future maintenance, and install in the best location available to facilitate future meter maintenance. The meter can be disassembled and serviced in place, and provisions for service should be considered during installation.

For the best accuracy, install the meter so that the gear shafts are positioned in a horizontal plane, rotating without the weight of the gear resting on the body or cover of the meter as shown on page 1. In critical installations block valves and by-pass lines are recommended. This allows the meter to be serviced without interruption of flow in critical process application.

2

Thermal relief valves are recommended and should be installed whenever it is possible to block the meter between two valves. Thermal pressures many times the operating pressure are possible with only a small rise in temperature.

It is recommended that a strainer be installed upstream of each meter to prevent damage from foreign matter, such as weld slag, pipe scale, etc.

Calibration means should be provided during installation. An easy means for diverting flow into a calibration vessel should be considered.

Hydraulic shock like thermal expansion can be harmful to meter components. Consideration should be given to designing pumping piping systems to eliminate hydraulic shock.

Operation

Fill the system slowly to avoid operation on air or vapor. This can be accomplished in the following manner:

1.

Throttle the meter inlet valve, and allow to fill slowly by gravity.

2.

Crack open the outlet valve, start the pump, then slowly crack open the inlet valve and fill the meter slowly before fully opening the inlet and outlet valves.

The 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 elliptical gears or meter internals.

Note: Over-speed and hammer caused by the presence of vapor in the system can cause internal damage to the meter.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The meter’s non-shock Maximum Operating

Pressure is indicated on the meter name plate.

The meter should never be operated in excess of this pressure. Care should be taken to eliminate thermal and hydraulic shock pressures so that they do not exceed the meter’s Maximum

Working Pressure design.

Operating the meter in excess of its maximum design flow can cause excessive wear or premature failure. However, the meter can be calibrated to operate below the minimum design flow rate as indicated on the meter name plate if the flow remains constant, or the product is viscous.
