The meter should be securely mounted on a wooden 
skid for shipment. The original container or a solid 
wooden box should be used to protect the exterior of 
the meter.

When packing the meter or components for return to 
the factory, place the RMR and a copy of the packing 
list that was delivered with the meter inside an enve-
lope. Place the envelope inside the shipping container 
with the Item being returned and reference the RMR 
number on the outside of the shipping container.

Equipment returned to the factory without the 
proper documentation will be returned to sender at 
their expense.

Ship the container to:

10 Storage, Installation And
Operation

General

The following is a general outline for the proper stor-
age, shipment, installation, and start up of any Brodie 
BiRotor meter. Additional information on the proper 
use of Positive Displacement Meters can be obtained 
from API Standard 1101 -Measurement of Petroleum 
Liquid Hydrocarbons by Positive Displacement Meter.

Storage

Brodie meters are precision instruments and should 
be handled with care. They should not be subjected 
to rough or improper handling or stored in an envi-
ronment where moisture, extreme temperatures, or 
foreign material can damage the meter.

Flange covers must remain on the meter until it is 
ready for installation.

If extended storage is anticipated under harsh fi eld 
conditions the meters should be stored in waterproof 
lined wooden boxes. Desiccant packs should be taped 
to the inside of the meter fl anges to reduce the ef-
fects of humidity on the measuring element. Caution 
must be used to insure the desiccant packs are re-
moved prior to installation.

If the meter is removed from service for an extend-
ed period of time it should be fl ushed with a light oil 
before being placed into storage. The meter fl anges 
should be securely covered.

Installation

WARNING

Compounds used in the making of elastomer gas-
kets, O-Rings and seals will, by nature, deteriorate 
over an extended period of time. This is dependent 
on elastomer material, frequency of operation and 
the product being measured. Extreme caution 
should be used when measuring volatile liquids or 
when using a meter that has been stored for an 
extended period of time. Loss of seal integrity can 
result in leakage, damage to the equipment and/or 
personal injury.

1. 

The BiRotor meter should be mounted on a secure 
foundation. Considerations for placement of a right 
angle adaptor and meter weight must be made 
when vertical installation is required.

2. 

Care should be taken to insure that the drain plug 
remains accessible. A valve may be installed on 
the drain line to facilitate draining of water and 
sediment from the meter. A lockable valve is rec-
ommended to reduce the chance of accidentally 
draining the meter. 

Any product drained from the 

meter, either manually or through a centralized 
drain system, must be disposed of in accordance 
with all local, state, and federal laws.

3. 

Skid foundations and process piping must be prop-
erly secured in order to minimize line vibration at 
the meter.
