07/12/2016 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.
4” NPT Flange Connection, 3” NPT Flange. Optional BSPT, Slip Weld or ANSI flanges available upon request. Flow Rate: 700-40 up to 500 GPM (1893 LPM) 700-45 up to 600 GPM (2271 LPM); only for fluids under 225 Maximum Pressure: 150 PSI (10.5 BAR)
TCS900004, Rev.4 07/12/2016 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.

TCS900004, Rev.4 07/12/2016 Page 8 System Recommendations (Continued) Thermal Shock The metal parts within the flow meter will expand or contract with variations in the system operating temperature. sudden or immediate temperature increases of 68 F (20 C) degrees or more are For any systems where possible, the meter will require clearance rotors.

TCS900004, Rev.4 07/12/2016 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) Only properly trained personal should design, install, or operate metering system.
TCS900004, Rev.4 07/12/2016 Page 12 Start-Up Recommendations (CONTINUED) 14) 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). 15) Custody transfer metering systems must be calibrated by a regulatory agency before product can be sold off the meter.
TCS900004, Rev.4 07/12/2016 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 commonly used systems, portable provers have the advantage of more closely reproducing the conditions under which the product is normally delivered.
TCS900004, Rev.4 07/12/2016 Page 14 Meter Calibration (Continued) Making the Tests Reset the register to zero, and run the required test quantity through the meter. Do not exceed the maximum recommended rate of flow for the meter. Maximum and minimum recommended rates of flow for each 700 series flow meter is marked on the meter identification plate and also in the maintenance manual.
TCS900004, Rev.4 07/12/2016 Page 15 Meter Calibration (Continued) Temperature Correction If the testing conditions are such that the temperature of the liquid differs by more than a few degrees between the meter and the prover, it is advisable to apply temperature correction to the prover readings. Thermowells must be installed into the system and temperature readings must be taken during test runs at the meter and in the prover.
Page 16
TCS900004, Rev.4 07/12/2016 Page 16 Split Compartment Test Purpose: A product depletion test verifies the proper operation of the air elimination system when the storage tank for the product being measured is pumped dry. This test is necessary for meters that may drain a tank completely, such as a vehicle tank meter.
Page 17
TCS900004, Rev.4 07/12/2016 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 between 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 product at the test site is required.
Page 18
TCS900004, Rev.4 07/12/2016 Page 18 Split Compartment Test (Continued) With a quick-connect coupling: During a normal full flow test run, close the compartment valve when the prover is approximately one-half full to its normal capacity. Then slowly and carefully disconnect the quick-connect coupling, allowing the pump to drain the supply line.

Only fully trained personnel should be involved in maintenance. Failure to use original TCS replacement parts will void any Weights and Measures approvals, warranty and risk damage to the meter system.
Page 20
TCS900004, Rev.4 07/12/2016 Page 20 Maintenance (CONTINUED) ¡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. 10) When removing gaskets or O-Rings, carefully check for damage or corrosion. Any cracked, rough, worn, elongated or swollen O-Rings must be replaced.

TCS900004, Rev.4 07/12/2016 Page 43 Meter Trouble Shooting PROBLEM: Leaking packing gland and/or housing A) Check to see whether any O-Rings have been damaged or cover bolts have not been tightened enough. B) Two common causes of packing gland leakage are thermal expansion and hydraulic shock. C) If two valves in a piping system (on either side of the meter) are closed, isolating the meter, and if the temperature rises as little as 1ºF in the system, the possible rise in pressure due to temperature would exceed the working pressure rating of the meter.
