METER DESIGN The 682 meter is a true Positive Displacement Meter, with the inlet and outlet on the same horizontal plain (straight in - straight out). Within the meter, three plungers are fitted within their respective cylindrical measuring chambers. The plungers are joined to a wobble plate, which has a shaft extending from its upper surface.

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS A) Material Compatibility Consult the Total Control Systems CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY charts on pages 21 to 33 of this manual to find the suitable materials and meter type for the product to be measured. Products incompatible with meter materials will potentially pose harm to personnel, reduce the accuracy and operational life of the meter and contaminate the liquid andcould B).
Products with high percentages (5%) of suspensions or suspended solids, or any hard solids, such as sand, are not recommended for the 682 series meter. Products with a low percentage of soft suspensions or suspended solids (<5%) may be metered at a reduced flow rate. It is recommended that the flow be reduced by 20% from the flow rate for a similar product without suspensions or suspended solids.
The diagram below shows how viscosity varies as a function of shear rate on various types of liquids. As noted, some fluids may not be suitable for metering with the 682 Series flow meter. See Section K Operating Limits for additional considerations concerning viscosity.
K) Operating Limits The viscosity of the product to be metered will have a direct impact on the flow rate at which the metering system can effectively operate. The following chart is a flow meter selection guide indicating the relationship between viscosity and flow rate. If the desired system flow rate and fluid viscosity fall outside the recommended operating limits, the flow rate must be reduced.
SYSTEM DESIGN Meter Selection The flow meter must be carefully chosen using the information in the Meter Selection Factors section above. The meter must be selected based on the operating system and product characteristics. System variables include flow rate, temperature and pressure. The product characteristics include the material compatibility, lubricity, viscosity, suspensions, pH, and other factors.
Protection From Debris On new installations, care must be taken to protect the meter from damage during start-up. It is recommended that a strainer be installed upstream of the meter. Damage may result from the passage through the meter of dirt, sand, welding slag or spatter, thread cuttings, rust, etc. It is recommended that a spool be constructed to be installed in place of the meter until the system is flushed.
Total Control Systems shall not be responsible for loss of product or any damages resulting from the end user’s failure to test the meter to insure proper calibration. Every 682 Series meter is tested and calibrated at the factory to ensure that it may be calibrated in your system.
The prover capacity should be equal to at least one minute’s flow through the meter at its maximum rate. A 50 Gallon prover would be required for a 682 Series meter operating at full flow rate. Setting a Prover The prover must be set level, using the levels provided on the prover, or using separate leveling means.
Page 17
Wetting the Prover The calibrated accuracy of a prover is determined on its wet measure capacity by its manufacturer, so the prover must be wetted prior to actual testing. To wet the prover, follow this procedure. Reset the meter register to zero, and fill the prover to the zero or 100% marking of the scale.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology, in its NIST Handbook 44 specifies a tolerance of plus or minus the following: METER TOLERANCE Tolerance Indication of Device Acceptance Test Maintenance Test Special Test Wholesale 0.20% 0.30% 0.50% Vehicle 0.15% 0.30% 0.45% Acceptance tolerances apply to new meters and repaired meters after reconditioning.
Temperature Correction If the conditions of testing are such that there will be a change of more than a few degrees in the temperature of the liquid between when it passes through the meter and when the prover is read, it will be advisable to make a temperature correction to the prover readings.

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.
Calibration Procedure 1) A valve or nozzle must be at the end of the delivery hose (at the prover). 2) Turn on the pump and purge the system of air. Leave the pump on. 3) Shut off the valve at the end of the delivery hose and let the system pressurize. 4) Wet the prover and empty it, letting it drip for 30 seconds.

GLOSSARY Acceptance Test: An original test of a new device under carefully controlled conditions and with expert operators, to determine that the device will comply with the accuracy requirements for Weights and Measures approval to be used as a resale device. Accessories (Auxiliary Equipment): Items used with a measuring device to facilitate the collection and use of information obtained from it (register, pulse output device).

Delivery, Over – Delivery, Under: The terms, over-delivery and under-delivery, are commonly used to indicate the kind of measuring error that is indicated. Over delivery is the same as Under registration. Under delivery is the same as Over registration. Density, Relative: The relative density (t1/t2) of a solid liquid substance is defined as the ratio of the mass of a given volume of the substance at a temperature t1 to the mass of an equal volume of pure water at a temperature t2 (this term replaces the normal term “specific gravity”).
Page 39
Positive Displacement Meter: A meter in which the primary sensing element separates the liquid into measured segments of known volume providing a shaft motion or other signal that can be used for indicating the volume delivered. Preset Device: An indicating device that can be preset for a desired quantity and which will stop the flow automatically, or provide an output signal when the preselected quantity of liquid has been metered or “delivered”.
