PREFACE General Information Introduction This manual contains installation, operation, and maintenance instructions for the Model 2331D Gasometer. Purpose and Use The Model 2331D is designed for the precise volumetric measurement of atmospheric gas. In the past, most gas measurements were made with the wet test meter, gas burette, or a gasometer.
PREFACE = Atmospheric Pressure (gas pressure in the jar at the time of the volumetric reading) = Room Temperature (temperature of gas at the time of volumetric reading) = Volume at desired standard conditions = desired standard pressure = desired standard temperature Features and Benefits •...
PREFACE Specifications Operating Conditions: Input Voltage: 100 - 240 VAC Input Current: Frequency: 50 / 60 HZ, 1 Phase Total Capacity: 3000 cc Left Side Capacity: 2000 cc Right Side Capacity: 1000 cc Accuracy: 0.2% of Reading Maximum Pressure: 50 inches of water (~2 psi) Scale Resolution: 0.1% of Full Scale Environmental Conditions:...
PREFACE Safety Requirements Before attempting to operate the instrument, the operator should read and understand this manual. NOTE: Remove the cotton from the gauge, by accessing the gauge face with the two screws on the side and then replace the face of the gauge. (Cotton should be replaced if shipment is required.) Pressurized vessels and associated equipment are potentially dangerous.
PREFACE Symbols Used on Equipment Symbol Meaning Protective Conductor Terminal Documentation must be consulted in all cases where this caution symbol is marked.
PREFACE Hydrogen Sulfide Safety Precautions S (Hydrogen Sulfide) Properties Color: Colorless Odor: Very offensive; odor of rotten eggs. Vapor Density: 1.5399 g/l. H S is heavier than air. Boiling Point: -76 °F (-60 °C) Explosive Limits: 4.3 to 46% by volume in air Ignition Temperature: 500 °F (260 °C) Water Solubility:...
A "kill" switch located near the exit may be required. • Do not place other equipment, such as air compressors, in a room that could become contaminated. Where to Find Help In the event of problems, contact your local sales representative or Chandler Engineering → L.L.C. • Telephone: 918-250-7200 •...
File an insurance claim with your freight carrier if damage has occurred during shipping. Verify all parts shown on the enclosed packing list have been received. If items are missing, please notify Chandler Engineering immediately. 1. Remove the gasometer from the box and place it on a table in an upright position.
SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Section 2 – Operating Instructions Description of Valves and Switches Figure 1 below provides an illustration of the gasometer. Following the illustration is a complete description of each component. Figure 1: Gasometer CHANDLER...
SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Carrying Handles (1) Recessed handles are provided on the sides for transporting the gasometer. Gauge (2 and 4) A compound gauge, 60 in. water, 0-60 in. water is provided to find the null pressure. For best results, the gauge should be dithered (tapped) before taking a reading.
SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Scale (17 and 18) These scales are for the 1000cc and 2000cc jars, respectively. For the 1000cc jar, each secondary division represents 10cc. For the 2000cc jar, each secondary division represents 20cc. Vernier (19 and 20) The verniers provided for each jar have a total of ten divisions.
SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Measuring Absolute Volume 1. Turn both of the three-way valves to the VENT position. 2. Bring both of the pistons to the top dead positions. 3. Turn both three-way valves to the CLOSED position. 4. Turn the two-way valve to the CLOSED position. If the gas volume to be collected is larger than the capacity of one jar, turn the two-way valve to the OPEN position, connecting the two jars.
• Never replace the power cord with an inadequately rated power cord (see Section 5 – Replacement Parts for the Chandler Engineering part number). • Maintenance should only be performed by qualified personnel. Cleaning the Jars and Replacing the O-rings As another part of the preventive maintenance, the O-rings on the end caps and seals should be checked regularly and, if required, the worn out or damaged seals should be replaced.
SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE Each piston should move when 10-20 inches water/air pressure is applied. If the seal on the piston is too loose, remove the light load spring and replace with a medium or heavy load spring. The lower seal is used to guide the piston and is not required to seal. The spring can be left out of this seal if the friction is too great.
SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE Scale Adjustment Turn both three-way valves to Vent. Bring both pistons to the top dead positions. At this position, the zero of the main scale and the zero of the vernier should coincide to give zero readings.
