5 Function description 5.1 Structure 5 Function description 5.1 Structure Fig. 7: Structure of the flowmeter Connection Measuring screw large Bearing cover Ball bearing fixed bearing end Measuring housing Pick up hole Measuring screw small Pole wheel Ball bearing floating bearing end 5.2 Functional principle Flowmeters belong to the group of rotating displacement meters as screw meters.
The flow direction can be determined by means of the additional phase-shifted signal and the incre- mental encoder positions available in the KRAL electronic unit and then taken into account for the cal- culation of the total values. Operating instructions...
6 Transportation, storage 6.1 Dangers during transportation 6 Transportation, storage 6.1 Dangers during transportation The following safety instructions must be observed: o Have all work only carried out by authorized transport personnel. o Use intact and correctly dimensioned hoisting equipment. o Ensure that the means of transport is in a flawless state.
7 Preservation 6.5 Storing the flowmeter Fig. 8: Fastening of hoisting equipment - principle diagram Fasten hoisting equipment on the flowmeter. Transport the flowmeter to the installation location or temporary storage site. 6.5 Storing the flowmeter As a result of the calibration, the internal components of the flowmeter are wetted with calibration liquid that has a preservative effect.
7 Preservation 7.2 Preserving the inner surfaces 7.2 Preserving the inner surfaces o Trained personnel Personnel qualification: o Work clothing Personal protective equipment: o Protective gloves o Safety boots Aids: o Preservative (acid-free and resin-free oil) Close a connection of the flowmeter with a blind flange.
