DESCRIPTION system.
The Type S flowmeters utilize the nutating disc principle
positive displacement measuring chamber technology. LONG SERVICE LIFE
This design results in an extremely accurate flowmeter Rugged construction of Type S flowmeters, along with
that is insensitive to small changes in viscosity and flow continual design improvements, assure a system that
profile disturbances. Each flowmeter includes a base is simple to operate and economical to use. The overall
unit that houses and protects the measuring chamber design of the Type S yields a meter with the ability to

totalization. A wide variety of digital pulse transmitters liquids. Furthermore, Type S flowmeters have been
permit remote operation and monitoring. proven through more than 100 years of manufacturing
experience.

 MECHANICAL PRESET VALVES
Single and double-stage mechanical auto-stop valves
are available for all 1”and 2” Type S Flowmeters.
They must accompany an appropriate 800 Series
mechanical preset register.

Single Trip preset valves are either fully open or fully

closed. They may be specified for flow rates up to 190
LPM (50 GPM) where hydraulic shock is not a factor.
Single trip valves are also used with larger flowmeters
to measure liquids that have viscosities over 10,000
SSU/1400 cPs.

Double Trip preset valves permit controlled valve

closing. Controlled valve closing reduces the potential
for hydraulic shock on both the dispensing lines and
the meter itself. Double trip valves are recommended
when measuring liquids with viscosities less than
10,000 SSU/1400 cPS that have either high operating
pressures or flow rates exceeding 190 LPM (50 GPM).

Preset Valves should be mounted on the meter outlet

in order to keep the flowmeter full and to maintain
accuracy. A fine mesh line strainer should be installed
upstream of the flowmeter and valve combination. The
purpose of the strainer is to prevent foreign particles
from damaging both the measuring chamber in the
Type 2” Type S witch 800 Series flowmeter and the piston/cylinder assembly in the
Register and Auto-Stop Valve preset valve.

MECHANICAL REGISTER SWITCHES

Model 23 Auto-Switches are micro switch devices
that attach to 800 Series Preset Registers. They
control pump and/or solenoid valves that are used
in place of mechanical auto-stop valves. Upon
completion of delivery, the auto-switch provides
contact closures to close the valve stages and finally
de-energize the pump. This orderly system shutdown
reduces wear, saves energy, and alleviates hydraulic
shock on the system.

Model 23A switches are Double-Pole Double-Throw

(DPDT). They provide two (2) switch closures for
2-stage valve shut down, with the final closure de-
energizing.

Model 23B switches are Single-Pole Double-Throw.

They provide one (1) switch closure for single stage
valve shut down and pump de-energizing.

Both Models 23A and 23B switches are U.L. listed

for hazardous location usage Class I, Group D; at 15
amps at 125 to 250 VAC; 0.5 amps at 125 VDC; and
0.25 amps at 250 VDC.

ACCURACY

All Red Seal Type S nutating disc

flowmeters are functionally tested for PRESSURE LOSS CURVES FOR WATER
proper operation, verified for accuracy
and calibrated to an approved unit of
measure.

• Maximum error, based on a 10:1

turndown, shall not exceed ± 1.0%,
as a percentage of rate for the entire
flow range.
• For reduced variables, i.e.:
turndown, temperatures, pressures
and higher viscosities; accuracies of
± 0.5% or better may be obtained.
• Repeatability is 0.2%
