5.2
Connect the meter to a rig as shown in Figure 4.1.
5.3
The requirements of the rig are as follows:
•
The body of the meter must be supported to prevent rolling.
•
Blanking plates complete with control cocks and hose connections should be fitted to
the flanges.
•
The control cocks are to be fitted above the centre line of the manifold.
•
Two suitable containers of approximately five gallons capacity should be provided for
the storage of cleansing fluid.
5.4
Fill container ’A’ (inlet side) with clean kerosene, open both control cocks.
5.5
Using the semi-rotary pump, circulate kerosene through the meter and into container ’B’ (outlet side),
repeat the procedure until all residual deposits have been removed from the meter.
5.6
Completely drain the meter and dispose of the contaminated kerosene.
5.7
Using clean kerosene, finally flush the meter.
5.8
Whenever possible a meter in storage should remain in a cleansing rig with the body casing full of
clean kerosene, this will allow flushing to be carried out at regular intervals.
5.9
If it is not convenient to retain the meter in the rig during storage it should be filled with clean
kerosene or Shell ’Ensis’ oil 152 and blanking plates fitted to both flanges.
5.10
During storage, the rotor should be revolved at regular monthly intervals. If the meter is to remain in
a cleansing rig, the operation of the semi-rotary pump to circulate kerosene will revolve the rotor.
5.11
In either of the above cases the calibrating mechanism is to be cleaned of grease, the front cover
removed and the mechanism washed with clean kerosene. On completion, the cover should be
refitted and the mechanism filled with clean kerosene or Shell Ensis Oil 152.
Note:
Stored meters should be kept in a clean dry area and inspected at frequent intervals.
