Chapter 5. Maintenance and Service
Local requirements may or may not allow field replacement of any components in this flow metering system without
a proper calibration of the entire system at an approved calibration facility. Check with your local Panametrics &
Panametrics Flow meter representative to determine if field replacement of components is allowed.
5.1 Spare Parts
If a fault is found with the flow meter electronics, the entire measurement head can be replaced to ensure hardware
and firmware compatibility or possibly specific electronic boards. To ensure that the correct part numbers are
ordered, provide your local Panametrics & Panametrics Flow meter representative with the serial number of the
meter, located as shown on the "Part String and Serial Number Tag Plate".
5.2 Installing Replacement Parts
If it is appropriate to replace any component of the flow metering system, the Panametrics & Panametrics Flow meter
field service team is trained and equipped to perform the replacement on-site. Installation of these field replaceable
parts by a Baker Hughes field service team member will maintain the accuracy of the system and any applicable
warranty. Please consult Panametrics to order the appropriate components and to schedule installation in the field.
5.3 Hardware Maintenance and Inspection
Inspection after installation may be performed routinely to maintain the health of your flow measurement. Checking
the tightness of the hose clamps (SCF Fixture) or nut tightness (CFG V fixture) and pressure bolt holding down the
transducers may be performed as described in section 2.4 "Installing Clamping Fixtures" . Couplant replacement is
not required with CPL-8 but may be required using other liquid based couplant such as the CPL-1 or CPL-2 at specific
intervals based on installation location and conditions.
