Disassembling the Round-Body Meter
Assembly and disassembly procedures vary with the type of flowmeter
installed. For instructions on repairing a hex-body meter, see page 15.
To disassemble a round-body meter, follow the steps below:
Remove the three socket-head capscrews from one end of the meter
using a standard Allen wrench.
Pull the bearing support straight from the meter body, rotating it if
necessary.
Caution—Do not pry on the bearing supports. Internal components could
break or shatter. If a bearing support is stuck, soak the meter in solvent or
insert a wooden dowel or brass rod from the other end of the meter and
gently tap on the support to free it.
Remove the rotor. Handle with care to prevent damage to the shaft.
