Warning
This instrument contains electronic components that are susceptible to damage by static
electricity. Proper handling procedures must be observed during the removal, installation,
or other handling of internal circuit boards or devices.
Handling Procedure:
1. Power to unit must be removed.
2. Personnel must be grounded, via wrist strap or other safe, suitable means before any printed circuit
card or other internal device is installed, removed, or adjusted.
3. Printed circuit cards must be transported in a conductive bag or other conductive container. Boards
must not be removed from protective enclosure until immediately before installation. Removed
boards must immediately be placed in protective container for transport, storage, or return to
factory.
Comments
This instrument is not unique in its ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive components. Most modern
electronic designs contain components that utilize metal oxide technology (NMOS, CMOS, etc.).
Experience has proven that even small amounts of static electricity can damage or destroy these
devices. Damaged components, even though they appear to function properly, exhibit early failure.

1.0 Oval Flowmeter Series 9900
1.1 Description
The Brodie 9900 Series Oval Flowmeter/
Transmitter with Smart Meter Manager (SMM) is
a very high accuracy, positive displacement meter
which utilizes microprocessor based electronics
to provide multivariable flow computation and
output for volumetric and mass measurement
requirements. It is designed for use in the
chemical, industrial, food and beverage,
pharmaceutical and hydrocarbon process
industries.
One of the most significant features of these
meters is their ability to handle both low and high
viscosity products with a low pressure drop
across the meter. They are supplied in a
compact, 3-piece design which uses both front
and rear flanges instead of the closed-end body
configuration found in traditional oval flowmeters.
Available sizes are 1/2" through 3".
“Smart Meter Manager inside” best defines the
Brodie 9900 Oval Flowmeter/Transmitter. Past
products have only delivered simple square
wave pulse outputs that represented raw
unfactored meter pulses (K-Factors).
K-Factors require additional processing by a
secondary piece of electronics to convert to
engineering units or factored 4-20 mA analog
output. The need for secondary electronics,
additional wiring and power supplies can be
eliminated by using the SMM. The Smart Meter
Manager (SMM) is a multivariable flow computer
that fits inside the standard Brodie UMB
(Universal Mounting Box). Because the SMM
only requires 4-20 mA loop power it hooks up as
a simple 2-wire transmitter. The SMM expands
the capability of the Oval to include factored 2-
wire, 4-20 mA output, and with ATC (Automatic
Temperature Compensation) the once simple K-
Factor now represents both corrected volume
and mass flow. This can be in the form of a 4-20
mA output, gross total and/or inventory total. In
addition, transistor contacts provide scaled pulse
outputs in both net and gross values. An
additional contact provides an alarm output. This
expanded capability is enhanced by HART’S
communications and the ability to use the
standard 275 HART Communicator.

1.3 Principle of Operation - Oval
Flowmeter
The Oval Flowmeter accurately measures liquid
flow by using a slight pressure differential to
rotate a pair of oval gears located within the
measuring chamber. Each complete rotation of
the gears (rotors) displaces a fixed amount of
liquid from the inlet to the outlet of the meter in a

4444444
4

continuous flow pattern. When in the position as
shown in Figure 1.1, Diagram 1, all of the driving
torque resulting from differential pressure is
applied to Gear A. Gear B has zero driving
torque since equal areas of gear surface on
opposite sides of the axis of rotation are exposed
to higher inlet pressure. As the gears begin to
rotate (Diagram 2), the torque applied to Gear A
decreases but Gear B now has driving torque
due to increased area exposed to the high
pressure. At the position shown in Diagram 3, all
of the driving torque is exerted on Gear B and
Gear A has decreased to zero. This alternate
driving action provides a smooth rotation of
almost constant torque without dead spots.
Because the amount of slippage between the
oval gears and measuring chamber wall is
minimal, the meter is essentially unaffected by
the viscosity and lubricity of liquids being
metered.
