DESIGN 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 chamber, the blocking rotor is forced to rotate.

Before any meter can be specified, knowledge of each application is required. If the liquid is to be sold through a metered delivery, domestic or international certification from a governing body may be required. Total Control Systems strictly adheres to all domestic and international metrology conformance regulations for the custody transfer of fluids. For questions regarding weights and measures approvals or other issues, please consult factory.
PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS A) Material Compatibility The product intended to be measured must review Total Control Systems CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY on page 23 to 35 to find the suitable materials and meter type. Materials incompatible with product will potentially reduce accuracy, operation life, contaminate liquid and may be harmful to others.
D) Temperature The operating temperature has a great effect on the meter seals and its relationship to the maximum pressure allowed with the flow meter castings. It will be necessary to reduce the maximum rated working pressure as the operating temperature increases. Any metering system operating over 160F (71C) will require extra clearance rotors to compensate for material expansion.
G) Foreign Materials Products that are to be measured may have foreign materials present. The inlet side of any positive displacement meter should be equipped with a strainer. Matching the strainer size or one size larger, with an appropriate size screen will protect the meter and accessories from damage in the system.
J) Pressure Loss The pressure drop is the difference between of the inlet and outlet pressure of the flow meter while operating. When measuring a liquid, the pressure drop will increase as the flow rate increases. When the metering system has accessories such as an air eliminator or valve, these items will be approximately the same pressure drop through equivalent size meter.
K) Bearing Load The product viscosity will have a direct relationship on the flow rate of the system. The following chart is a flow meter selection guide based on the relationship of viscosity and flow rate. The bearing material is illustrated according to maximum bearing load allowable. In the following flow chart, please choose the system flow rate and the product viscosity.
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.
The meter shall be tested and calibrated with the product it is intended to measure when installed. Total Control Systems shall not be responsible for loss of product or any damages resulting from the end user’s failure to test this meter to insure proper calibration. Every 700 series meter is tested and calibrated at the factory to prove it is calibratable in your system.

LPG SYSTEM DESIGN LPG will have a high vapor pressure and tends to vaporize easily. The successful meter operation will depend on the care exercised to prevent this from happening. In order to prevent vaporization of LPG, certain elements must be adhered to in the design, fabricating and operation.
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 reproducing the condition under which the product is normally delivered. Use this information for all flow meters, except on Liquefied Propane Gas (LPG) flow meters.

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 inform 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.
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 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.

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 21
With a quick-connect coupling: 1. 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. 2.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE Check for repeatability A) Run a fast (high gallons per minute) test in your prover and record how much the meter is over or under registering. Do NOT change the meter's calibration. B) Run a slow (low gallons per minute) test and again record how much the meter is over or under registration. If the results from the fast and the slow test are the same or close to the same, the meter can be successfully calibrated.
DIRECTION OF FLOW The meter is set up at the factory for left to right flow. To change the meter to right to left flow, begin by removing the screws (#9 on the Meter Assembly Breakdown in Service Manual) and the adjuster cover plate (#7) on the front of the meter.
