Every OVAL flowmeter is fabricated, inspected, and tested under stringent quality control prior to shipment 
from the factory. In order to maintain its design performance throughout its life, this manual offers the operator 
the  necessary  instruction,  operation  and  maintenance  information.  Be  well  familiar  with  these  instructions 
before you place the meter in service and keep this manual at the field location for ready reference.

 About Meter Size Designation

 

The size of OVAL positive-displacement flowmeters is basically identified by a two-digit 
code. 

Sizes 28, 29, 31, and 60 

Double Case Construction

Size 29  

Single Case Construction

Sizes 60 and 31 

Single Case Construction

 

Meter Sizes:  28, 29, 31 and 60

 

Register Model:  LW76E

 (two-step open/two-step shutoff)

Batch controller equipped ULTRA OVAL
