INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION 310-9000 DESCRIPTION The Ransburg 310-9000 flow meter is developed to precisely meter and monitor fluid flows. This flow meter, in many cases, surpasses the performance of other types of meters currently used. FLOW RATE ACCURACY A flow rate accuracy of 0.5% is typical with many fluids if the flow meter is calibrated at or near the expected flow rates.
INTRODUCTION 310-9002 DESCRIPTION The Ransburg 310-9002 acid catalyst flow meter is developed to precisely meter and monitor fluid flows. This flow meter, in many cases, surpasses the performance of other types of meters currently used. FLOW RATE ACCURACY A flow rate accuracy of 0.5% is typical with many fluids if the flow meter is calibrated at or near the expected flow rates.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION GENERAL INFORMATION The unit can be mounted with the bolt pattern shown below. Mount the flow meter vertically so the gear faces are perpendicular to the earth’s horizon. This mount position minimizes the effect of gravity on the gears.
OPERATION-INTRINSICALLY SAFE INTRINSICALLY SAFE OPERATION The flow meter can be operated in hazardous areas (Class I, Division I, Group D locations). It is necessary to route the power to the flow meter and the signal (or signals) that return from the flow meter sensor through an approved Zener barrier.
OPERATION OPERATION PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Gear-type flow meters work on the principle that a small material is trapped between each gear’s teeth. One to two proximity sensors detect each gear tooth rotation as the gears rotate. When a gear tooth passes a proximity sensor, the sensor sends a square wave pulse back to the controller to indicate one of those material cavities has passed through the meter.
MAINTENANCE FLOW METER SERVICING OVERVIEW Flow Meter problems can be caused by incorrectly filtered fluid. Particulates in the fluid can cause the gears to bind, and the results are incorrect signals for the actual flow rate. Refer to the instructions from the filter manufacturer to maintain the fluid filters.
MAINTENANCE DISASSEMBLY, INSPECTION, AND ASSEMBLY DISASSEMBLY These instructions are only applicable after the upper and lower material lines are disconnected, and the flow meter assembly with attached bracket is removed from the fluid panel for servicing. Dual Probe Pickup Sensor Removal 1.
Page 16
MAINTENANCE 3. Carefully pull the pickup sensor (b) straight out and away from the flow meter body. Move the pickup sensor to a clean, safe area to prevent damage. Do not drop the pickup. The dual probe pickup sensor is a sensitive device. If dropped, damage can occur and cause unstable or incorrect flow indications.

MAINTENANCE Fiber Optic Pickup Sensor Removal 1. Disconnect the flow meter fiber optic cable (d) from the fiber optic pickup sensor (e). 2. Loosen the jam nut (f) on the pickup sensor where it touches the flow meter’s front face. 3.

MAINTENANCE 4. Remove two each of the hex head cap screws (g), external tooth lock washers (h), and flat washers (i) from the back of the bottom flow meter body. Put the mounting bracket (j) and all fastener hardware in a safe area. The flow meter servicing procedures are identical for the standard and acid catalyst flow meters.

MAINTENANCE 9. Divide the top (o) and bottom (m) flow meter body halves. Put the flow meter body halves in a clean work area with the mating surfaces pointed up. Do not let these surfaces get damaged, especially where the o-ring gasket is set. If separation of the halves is not easy, do not pry apart the body halves with a screwdriver or other such tool.

MAINTENANCE INSPECTION Use an applicable solvent and clean the remaining material from all flow meter parts. Examine all following parts for wear and damage: 1. The gear shafts (r) must measure the same diameter at the ends and center. Replace the gear shaft set if a shaft does not measure the same at the three locations or if there are scores, scratches, or damage to the shaft.
Page 21
MAINTENANCE 6. The shaft bearings (w) in the bottom flow meter body (m) must not be worn, pitted, or have scores or scratches. Put the gear shafts into the bottom body bearings and try to wobble them. Replace the bottom body if a bearing has damage or the gear shafts wobble in the bearings.
Page 22
MAINTENANCE ASSEMBLY The application of lubricants or compounds must not be used to assemble the flow meter. The use of lubricants and compounds will cause coating material contamination through the system, equipment damage, and coating failure. 1. Install a new PTFE o-ring gasket (p) into the sealing groove in the bottom body.
