Clearance Guide
This clearance guide lists the recommended minimum and maximum fitting clearance for repaired
meters. (All units of measurement are inches).
Meters often exhibit acceptable accuracy even if the clearances exceed the ranges shown.
The above clearances apply to meters operating at standard operating temperatures and viscosity
range as listed below. For meters built to operate at higher temperature and viscosity (designated
by a 6-digit serial number). Consult factory. Specify serial number and record special clearances
in space provided.
Standard Temperature Ranges
C2 Through G6:
-20°F (-29°C) to 150°F (65°C)
H8:
-20°F (-29°C) to 137°F (58°C)
JA10:
-20°F (-29°C) to 125°F (52°C)
Standard Viscosity Limit
C2 Through H8:
Less than 2,000 SSU (400 mPa•s)
JA10:
Less than 1,000 SSU (200 mPa•s)
3.2.
Clearance Checks
Clearances should be checked with a leaf type feeler gauge and compared with the Clearance
Guide Table.
Any average of clearances that are outside of the tolerance listed should be noted. Certain parts
may be at or over the maximum shown but consideration should be given to the condition of the
part and the accuracy obtained during meter calibration. Certain major parts such as the rotor,
cam, and blades need not be replaced if the meter proving records show no appreciable change
in accuracy between provings.
