  • Page 2 RCM Series 7000 and Series 8000 Flo-Gages measure flow rate by sensing the pressure differential created across the flow nozzle which is machined into the body of the flowme- ter. A pair of matched, opposed bellows sense the differential pressure and drive a mechani- cal linkage to indicate flow rate directly on the dial.

  • Page 4: Checking Zero

    Preventative Maintenance The meter does not require routine lubrication or service of any kind. Keep the interior of meter housing clean and free of dust, moisture, oils or corrosive materials. Protect the meter from dripping or splashing corrosives or solvents which may attack meter exterior and eventually damage the internal mechanism.
  • Page 5: Fine Zero Adjustment

    Release the pointer. Using the cam nut, adjust the lever so that the pointer points to the zero reference point. Check the position of the stop nut. Applying force to the stop nut, manually move the center shaft to the right (as seen from the rear) and make certain that the stop nut contacts the cell block when the pointer stops.
  • Page 6: Cleaning Of Pressure Ports

    Establish a known flow rate through the meter corresponding to approximately 90% of full scale and observe the meter indication. Move the cam follower up to decrease the pointer indication or down to increase the pointer indication. To move the cam follower up, rest a screwdriver on the cell block with the blade between the cell block and the center shaft.
  • Page 7: Pointer Fluctuations

    Pointer Fluctuation Mechanical fluctuation of the pointer is usually a symptom of excessive turbulence in the pipeline. This is frequently caused by valves or fittings installed too close to the meter inlet. If moving the meter is not practical, snubbers with smaller holes can be installed to in- crease the mechanical damping of the meter.
  • Page 8: Compressed Gas Service

    Compressed Gas Service If the gas pressure or temperature varies from the values marked on the meter dial, then a correction factor, K, must be applied to the meter reading to obtain the actual flow rate. Correction where Factors æ ö...
