  • Page 9 INSTRUCTION MANUAL 10A4500/4600 V/A MASTER FLOWMETER All flowmeters with PVC process connections are of the 10A4600 design which uses neoprene ® packing with a TEFLON liner on the wetted side. The flowmeter with PVC process connections must be supported to eliminate any strain on the connections.

  • Page 10: Introduction

    INSTRUCTION MANUAL 10A4500/4600 V/A MASTER FLOWMETER 1.0 INTRODUCTION The ABB Automation Series V/A MASTER™ flowmeters operate on the variable area principle to measure and visibly indicate the instantaneous fluid flow rate of liquids and gases. These weather- resistant meters have stainless steel bodies that retain the inlet and outlet end fittings. The end fittings hold the meter tube, and are designed to permit removal of the tube for cleaning or range changes without disassembling the meter or removing the process piping.

    INSTRUCTION MANUAL 10A4500/4600 V/A MASTER FLOWMETER FIGURE 2-1. ROTATING THE END FITTING ON HORIZONTAL CONNECTIONS 2.3 Surge Chambers and Accumulators A variable area flowmeter is less likely to be damaged, and can be most accurately read when the flow of fluid is smooth. However, it is occasionally necessary to install a meter in a line where reciprocating pumps or compressors are used.

  • Page 15: Mounting And Piping

    A control valve may be used in either the inlet or discharge piping. However, ABB Automation recommends the control valve be placed on the discharge side, especially when operated at close to the minimum psia rating.

  • Page 16: Panel Mounting

    2.4.5.1 General The flowmeter may be mounted on either the front or rear of the panel. When the flowmeter is specified as rear panel mounted at time of purchase, the necessary hardware will be supplied by ABB Automation. When the flowmeter is to be front panel mounted, nuts, bolts, and lockwashers for this use may be obtained from ABB Automation by ordering P/N 614B831U01 or purchased locally.
