2-Bladed Double Case PD Meters Service Manual Introduction TechnipFMC Measurement Solutions, Inc. provides a meter variation with tungsten car- bide trim to resist the accelerated wear that can be caused by impurities, such as sand and iron sulfide, and also by the low lubricity of condensates. This variation includes solid tungsten carbide journal rotor and thrust bearings.
2-Bladed Double Case PD Meters Service Manual Disassembly 2 – Disassembly 2.1. General To assure adequate inspection and maintenance, the step-by-step procedures in this manual should be carefully followed. To gain a better understanding of high capacity rotary meter de- sign and construction, it is suggested that the service person review this manual before starting disassembly.
2-Bladed Double Case PD Meters Service Manual Disassembly 2.3. Standard Pressure-Outer Cover (Models C2 Through JA10-S1 and A1) If desired, the cover can be removed and set aside with the packing gland and gears in place. On 10" meters, the gear train is attached to the cover of the inner mechanism. See Figure 4. Any evidence of leaking through this packing gland will be visible at this time.
2-Bladed Double Case PD Meters Service Manual Disassembly 2.4. High Pressure Packing Gland Maintenance (Models C2 Through JA10-S1, S3, S5, S7, and A3) Glycerine solution is used as a sealant and lubricant in this type of packing gland. The gland should be serviced on an interval determined by experience, however, the period between injections should not exceed 60 days.
2-Bladed Double Case PD Meters Service Manual Disassembly 2.6. Gear Train To remove the gear train from the cover: Turn the cover over, loosen the set screw, and remove the calibrator drive gear, shaft, and washer, Figure 10. Remove the screws, Figure 10, that hold the gear housing to the cover and lift off, Figure 11.
2-Bladed Double Case PD Meters Service Manual Disassembly If, at this time, the rotor turns freely, the meter may now be reassembled and tested to see if the calibration problem has been corrected. If the rotor cannot be adjusted properly, the mechanism will have to be disassembled and the necessary corrective steps taken.
2-Bladed Double Case PD Meters Service Manual Disassembly 2.10. Disassembly of Inner Mechanism The inner mechanism removal and disassembly procedure is essentially the same for all meters, unless otherwise noted: Take out the bolts that fasten the body to the housing, Figure 14. - 2", 3", and 4"...

To be done accurately, a spider should be used. This fixture maintains inner housing concentricity when the cover is removed. Contact your TechnipFMC authorized distributor for availability. Take out the machine screw and plate (on JA10 meters, shaft nut) located on underside of housing.
2-Bladed Double Case PD Meters Service Manual Disassembly To disassemble the rotor, place the assembly upside down on a suitable surface, Figure 19. Loosen the socket head cap screw and lift off locating arm. Figure 19 – Removing Arm from Rotor 2.11.

2-Bladed Double Case PD Meters Service Manual Clearance Checks 3.3. Blade Slot Clearance (C) Special Tools Required: 1. Feeler Gauges 2. Flat metal surface with opening to receive shaft. Blades should move freely in rotor slots and the average clearance in each slot should not exceed the listed clearances, nor shall any single point be more than 25% above the maximum listed.
2-Bladed Double Case PD Meters Service Manual Clearance Checks 3.5. Blade Tip to Housing Clearance (A) Special Tool Required: 1. Spider 2. Feeler Gauge With the blade held toward the housing, these clearances should be maintained between the measuring chamber and the full length of the edge of the blade. 3.6.
2-Bladed Double Case PD Meters Service Manual Clearance Checks Illustration shown with bottom cover removed for better visibility. Bottom cover and lower bearing should be in place on shaft for accurate check. 3.7.1. Alternate Method (for Smaller Meters) Rotate the element until the blade is fully extended. With the blade held toward the housing, check the clearance between the blade and housing.
2-Bladed Double Case PD Meters Service Manual Reassembly 4 – Reassembly Reassembly is essentially the reverse of the disassembly procedure. Be sure to observe the reassembly precautions noted during teardown of the unit. Should it become necessary to install a new rotor assembly into a meter, check rotor to block clearances, refer to Clearance Check Section.

2-Bladed Double Case PD Meters Service Manual Reassembly and Clearance Checks Care must be taken when installing the inner unit cover to assure that the rotor gear and the lower jackshaft gear are properly meshed. • The fit of the inner unit cover is normally close enough to necessitate tapping the cover with a soft hammer to drive it into place on the inner unit.

2-Bladed Double Case PD Meters Service Manual Reassembly and Clearance Checks Determine rotor to block and blade slot clearances. • Record these measurements as “as assembled” clearances. Assemble inner unit into outer housing. • Clean the machined surfaces of the outlet port of the inner unit and outer housing with alcohol or solvent.
