Operating Principle OPERATING PRINCIPLE Hedland® EZ-View flow meters are piston-type variable area flow meters that use a sharp-edged annular orifice, formed between an open-centered piston and a tapered metering cone� The piston is held in the no-flow position at the base of the cone by a precision retention spring�...
Installation INSTALLATION THIS UNIT SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY TECHNICALLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL TRAINED IN MAINTAINING INDUSTRIAL CLASS FLOW INSTRUMENTATION AND PROCESSING EQUIPMENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING THE UNIT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING PRODUCT INSTALLATION OR MAINTENANCE, CALL YOUR LOCAL SUPPLIER FOR MORE INFORMATION.
Installation Piping Plumbing TO AVOID UNNECESSARY PIPE FLEXING THAT COULD CAUSE STRUCTURAL STRESS ON THE FLOW METER BODY, USE INDEPENDENT SUPPORT LOCATED AS NEAR AS POSSIBLE TO THE INLET AND OUTLET OF THE METER TO ISOLATE THE METER FROM THE PIPING SYSTEM.
Installation Mounting Orientation The meter can be installed to operate in any position� Models with 1 in. (25.40 mm) Male NPTF End Connections Pipe Support Plastic Coupling Plastic Coupling Metal Pipe Union Figure 5: 1 in. (25.40 mm) Male NPTF installation 1�...

Flow-Alert Switch Installation Reed Switch Install the switch on the flow meter by placing the adjustment arm over the serrated rail from the inlet end of the 1/2 in� (12 mm), 3/4 in� (19 mm), and 1 in� (25 mm) meters, or the outlet end of the 1-1/2 in�...
Flow-Alert Switch Installation Flow-Alert Reed Switch Adjustment After the flow meter has been installed and the switch wired, the flow rate at which the switch activates must be adjusted� 1� With the fluid running through the meter, gently move the switch adjustment tab outward until the switch body is free to slide up or down on the serrated rail�...
Maintenance MAINTENANCE EZ-View flow meters are designed to provide many years of service with little or no maintenance requirements� Periodic cleaning may be required� To clean the outside of the meter, use denatured alcohol or mild detergent and warm water� If the inside of the meter becomes stained or particulates get jammed in the meter, use one of the following disassembly procedures: 1/2…1 in.
Fluid Correction Standard Flow Scales FLUID CORRECTION STANDARD FLOW SCALES Standard liquid flow scales are calibrated in gpm (Gallons per Minute) and lpm (Liters per Minute) at 0�876 specific gravity for petroleum-based fluids, and 1�0 specific gravity for water and water-based fluids� For field conversion of the standard scale to other fluids, see "Density Effect"...
Pressure Drop Charts PRESSURE DROP CHARTS The pressure drop curves are valid for fluids with density and viscosity similar to factory test fluids� Fluids with higher viscosity than these test fluids yield a higher pressure drop through the flow meter and piping system per a given flow volume� A system must have adequate fluidic horsepower available to move the system fluid at a prescribed rate at a pressure adequate to overcome all pressure reducing devices, including the flow meter�...
