TURBINE METER REMOVAL
WARNING:
High-pressure leaks are dangerous and cause personal injury. Make sure that fluid
flow has been shut off and pressure in the line released before attempting to remove the meter.
DISASSEMBLY
Refer to Figures 2, 3, and 4 for relative positions of repair kit components.
1.
Remove the magnetic pick-up from the meter body to avoid damage during repair.
2.
Remove the retaining ring from one end of the meter.
3.
Remove the rotor support from the body. If the rotor support is jammed in the body, use a
pair of pliers or vice-grips to break the rotor support free.
4.
The rotor may also be removed at this time.
5.
Remove the retaining ring from the opposite side of the meter.
6.
Remove the second rotor support.
INSTALLATION OF NEW KIT:
IMPORTANT:
Before reassembly, note there are weep holes on each rotor support, these weep
holes must be facing down toward the bottom of the meter body when being installed.
The meter must be reassembled with the arrowheads on the rotor pointed in the direction of fluid
flow. The magnetic pick-up side of the body signifies the up position. This is the position that
the repair kit was calibrated, and this is the position it is to be used to ensure meter accuracy. Due
to the specification of 3-A, there are not any arrows on the rotor support to indicate which rotor
support be place upstream or downstream, please install them just as you received them in the
box, using the arrow on the rotor to determine the placement of the rotor support.
1. Install one of the rotor support into the body bore, noting the orientation of the weep hole.
2. Secure a retaining ring in the groove provided. Be sure that the retaining ring is completely
installed in each groove.
3. Insert the rotor and second rotor support in the opposite side of the body, noting the orientation
of the arrow on the rotor and the weep hole on the rotor support.
4. Secure the second retaining ring in the opposite groove, as noted in Step 2 above.
5. Check the meter by blowing air through the assembly. If the rotor does not turn freely, the
meter should be dissembled and checked for anything that would obstruct movement of the rotor.
CAUTION:
Excess air pressure may damage the rotor and bearings by overspinning.
6. Install the magnet pick-up.
Note: At this time electronics will need recalibration. Refer to the proper installation and
operation manual. If there are any questions on recalibration, contact Blancett factory toll free
number 1.800.235.1638, or the manufacturer of the associated electronics.
Each FloClean
repair kit has been clean at the factory per 3A specifications and handle with
care, it is recommended that you clean your meter once the kit has been installed.
