IMPORTANT: Opening the flowmeter will void the Flowmeter
Calibration value assigned to your unit. However, you may
need to take the flowmeter apart for periodic cleaning or
to remove an obstruction.
If you can shake the flowmeter from end-to-end to produce
a “rattling” sound (shaft-end play), or if you can blow into the
meter from either end and cause the turbine to spin freely,
your flowmeter does not need cleaning. If you cannot hear
the “rattling” sound or get the turbine to spin freely, your
flowmeter needs to be cleaned.
See Illustrations below for
reassembly instructions.
OPENING THE FLOWMETER
Cut the calibration tag retaining wire. Remove the screws
and disassemble the flowmeter. Do not attempt to remove
the sleeve bearings from the flowmeter housing.
Use warm water and if necessary, a mild detergent and a
soft bristle brush to clean all parts. Do not use solvents or
diesel fuel to clean the flowmeter. A magnet works well for
removing fine metallic particles from the turbine.
Inspect all parts. Check for excessive bearing or shaft wear.
The shaft will wear shorter until the turbine drags on the
housing.
Illustration 19
shows you what a new shaft looks
like. When the shaft is worn to the point of drag, the turbine
must be replaced.
On a flat surface, place each housing half on end. Set and
spin the turbine in each half. It should spin freely. If it does
not spin freely, remove the turbine, wipe the shaft and try
again. If is still does not spin freely, the shaft or bearings may
have excessive wear.
(Service may be necessary).
ASSEMBLING THE FLOWMETER
Stainless steel meters use a Teflon gasket. Sealants are
normally not required. Plastic meters use an o-ring (Quad-
ring). Apply a small amount of silicon grease for lubrication.
Gaskets and o-rings may be reused several times but
eventually may need replacement.
Place the turbine in the non-sensor housing. Position gasket
/ o-ring; carefully place sensor housing over turbine. Drop all
screws into holes. Hold nuts (and lock washers on stainless
meters) in place and finger-tighten screws. Ensure proper
placement of gasket / o-ring and evenly tighten all screws.
Attach tag.
After assembly, shaking flowmeter end-to-end should
produce a “rattling” sound (shaft end play). Blowing into
the meter from either end should cause the turbine to spin
freely. If the turbine only spins from one direction, install the
flowmeter so that the liquid flows in that direction.
(Service
may be necessary).
For maximum accuracy the flowmeter should be mounted
in a vertical position. Recalibration is required before field
operation.
