Page 4 Meter Overview The TCS Model 700 series flow meter is a simple and efficient design. The meter consists of a single fluid chamber that contains a single blocking rotor and two displacement rotors whose rotation is synchronized with mating gears. As the fluid enters the fluid cham- ber, the blocking rotor is forced to rotate.
3” NPT Flange Connection, 2” NPT Flange. Optional BSPT, Slip Weld or ANSI flanges available upon request. Flow Rate: 700-30 up to 200 GPM (760 LPM) 700-35 up to 300 GPM (1135 LPM); only for fluids under 225 SSU Maximum Pressure: 150 PSI (10.5 BAR)
Page 7 System Recommendations (Continued) Control Valves Safety and isolation valves should be used throughout the metering system. In any pumping system where there is one (1) pump and multiple flow meters, a digital or hydro-mechanical Rate-of-Flow control valve must be used at each flow meter to prevent over speeding of the flow meters. Best Plumbing Configuration 1).
Page 8 System Recommendations (Continued) Thermal Shock The system operating temperature will expand or contract the metals within the flow meter. For systems that have sudden or immediate temperature increases of 68 F (20 C) degrees or more, will require clearance rotors. Clearance rotors will be necessary to eliminate the effect of immediate expansion of the rotors vs.
Page 11 Start up Recommendations ¡WARNING! Test equipment should be grounded to prevent a possible spark. Test area should have no ignition source. Operators should wear personal protection and prevent any product exposure and environmental issues. Start-up instruction for new installations or after maintenance and repairs: 1).
Page 12 Start-Up Recommendations (CONTINUED) 15). When operating the meter with accessories, valves should be opened slowly to avoid a pressure surge that can damage the meter or air eliminator. System pressures should be maintained below 70 PSI (4.9 BAR). 16).
Page 13 Meter Calibration The method of proving should be selected, and necessary provisions made, during the design stage of the installation. Of the most common used systems, portable provers have the advantage of more closely re- producing the condition under which the product is normally delivered. Use Accurate Prover Scientifically designed provers are commercially available for proving meters, and no other kind should be used.
Page 14 Meter Calibration (Continued) After the prover has drained, allow a definitive time of a few minutes for drainage from the sides of the tank. Total drainage time should be the same between all tests to insure uniform results. If a considerable length of time is to elapse between tests, the wetting operation can be eliminated by allowing the prover to remain full until the next test is to be run.
Page 15 Meter Calibration (Continued) Temperature Correction If the conditions of testing are such that there will be a change of more than a few degrees in the tempera- ture of the liquids between the time it passes through the meter and the time the prover is read, it will be advisable to make a temperature correction to the prover readings.

Page 16 Split Compartment Test Purpose: A product depletion test verifies the proper operation of air elimination when the storage tank for the product being measured is pumped dry. This test is necessary for meters that may drain a tank com- pletely, such as a vehicle tank meter.
Page 17
Page 17 Split Compartment Test (Continued) Single Compartment Test Procedure: The test of single-compartment tanks is easier to accomplish if there is a quick-connect hose coupling be- tween the compartment valve and the pump that supplies product to the meter. If the system does not have quick-connect couplings between the compartment and the meter, an additional source of sufficient prod- uct at the test site is required.
Page 18
Page 18 Split Compartment Test (Continued) With a quick-connect coupling: During a normal full flow test run; close the compartment valve at approximately one-half of the nominal prover capacity. Then slowly and carefully disconnect the quick-connect coupling, allowing the pump to drain the supply line. Continue the test until the meter indication stops entirely for at least 10 seconds.
Only fully trained personnel should be involved in maintenance. Failure to use original TCS replacement parts will void any Weights & Measures approvals and risk damage to the meter system.
Do not weld any part of the meter system or accessories as this will weaken the part and allow for leaks 11). Coat with anti-seize and replace all bolts and screws, torque to TCS design specifications. 12). Recommended levels of maintenance and inspection will depend upon the products being meas ured, their corrosiveness, system pressure requirements, government or company regulations, and age of metering system.
Page 33 Drive Components Removing the Dust Cover Cut dust cover seal. Remove the dust cover screws with a standard flathead screwdriver. Note the setting on micrometer. Note the position of the drive gear (either above or below the packing gland pinion). Removing the Adjuster Loosen the retaining screws using a standard flathead screwdriver.
Page 34 Disassembly of Meter (Continued) ¡WARNING! All internal pressure must be relieved to ZERO (0) pressure before beginning disassembly of meter or components Draining Meter & Removing Counter Support Drain the meter by turning it on either the inlet or outlet side. Remove the counter bracket screws with a hex wrench or socket driver.
Page 35 Disassembly of Meter (Continued) Front & Rear Cover Remove the screws on the front cover using a socket or box wrench. Remove front cover. Remove the screws on the back and remove rear cover. Remove the O-ring from both sides of the housing Rotor Gears Using a spare displacement rotor gear, place it between the rotor and blocking gear on the meter.
Page 36 Disassembly of Meter (Continued) Removing Bearing Plate Remove the bearing plate retaining screws with a standard flathead screwdriver. To remove bearing plate & rotors, insert a screwdriver into the notches near the dowel pins. Gently pry the bearing plate off the dowel pins and slide out the bearing plate and rotors from the housing.
Page 37 Inspection of Parts Inspect the surfaces of rotors, bearing plates, meter housing and gear teeth for any damage or wear. Replace parts as needed. GEAR WEAR Meter has been run on air. Meter has been operated at a higher volume capacity than what is rated.

Page 47 Meter Trouble Shooting PROBLEM: Leaking packing gland and/or housing Two common causes of packing gland leakage are thermal expansion and hydraulic shock. If two valves in a piping system (on either side of the meter) are closed at one time, and if the temperature rises as little as 1ºF in the system, it could result in a rise in pressure within the system that would exceed the working pressure rating of the meter.

B) The seal plate oring may be worn through service life. C) The seal plate oring may be cut or dislodged and requires replacement.
