1 Introduction
1.1 Warranty
Each device comes with a 1-year warranty, starting from the delivering date. Such warranty
of good operating of the equipments includes our efforts of repairing or replacing, in the
shortest time, the parts that fail for defective manufacturing or material during the warranty
period, without rights to any refund for damages or other expenses.
If a device is going to be transferred in our laboratory for repair, the delivery expenses is at
the customer’s expense.
For any inspection of our qualified personnel related to what stated above, the labor is at our
expenses, while the board, lodging and travel expenses are in charge at the customer.
The warranty does not cover devices and parts not built by Isoil Impianti S.p.A..
The warranty ceases if non-original spare parts are used; the warranty ceases too for an
improper use or if the operational limits of the device are exceeded.
1.2 Introduction
ISOIL positive displacement meters are precision measuring instruments designed for use
with a variety of petrochemical products and liquids. Each meter is fully tested and calibrated
by factory before dispatch, and a regular service will maintain a high standard of
performance and accuracy.
P.D. meters must be periodically tested by a calibrating tank, Prover, or Master Meter: if out
of accuracy a service is necessary.
Experience has shown that mechanical defects are usually caused by the entry of foreign
matters into the metering compartment due to inadequate straining facilities in the pipeline.
Special tools have been designed to facilitate overhaul operations and their use is
recommended. Reference to the tools is included in the next pages (see chap.5).

1.3 Working principles
Liquid enters the meter through the manifold and causes the rotor to revolve by pressure on
the vanes. The proximity of the rotor to the front and rear of the casing forms an efficient seal
while the profile of the casing guides the vanes on to the measuring crescent.

The seal between vane and body is assured by the combined effects of gravity and
centrifugal forces of vanes and it is assured the self-balance of clearances generated by the
use too.
The rotor spindle extends through a pressure tight seal in the meter front cover into the
calibrating mechanism which transmits the rotor movement to the register.

CAUTION
All parts under pressure must be released before disassembling the
meter or its accessories for adjustment, inspection, servicing or
substitution of its components.
Also make sure that all electric or electronic part, if present, are
disconnected from its power supply.
2 General safety principles
This operator’s manual contains basic safety instructions that must be followed during
system installation, operation and maintenance. Failure to comply with these instructions
may result in personal injury and can lead to personal, industrial or environmental accidents.
Some examples of possible hazards caused by non-compliance with these instructions are:
Failure of the system and/or some components
Hazards to people caused by the exposition to electrical, mechanical or chemical
influences
Pollution of the environment through the leaking of hazardous substances
Therefore, follow the safety instructions described in this manual; in case of uncertainties,
please contact the manufacturer.
2.1 General instructions
Read carefully the operator’s manual
Make sure that all the personnel assigned to the installation, operation and
maintenance is properly trained
Make sure that the contents of the operator’s manual are completely understood by all
personnel assigned to the operations on the system
Inspect parts under pressure in compliance with national regulations before the initial
operation of the system
Make sure that the operator’s manual is readily available to personnel on site
Follow national safety regulation in force in the location of the plant
Make sure that the system operates in compliance with the relevant operational limits
All pressure parts must be inspected and serviced in accordance with national laws in
force

2.2 Meter operation
The meter must be operated exclusively by the personnel trained and authorised to its
operation
The meter must not be operated in presence of foreign, unauthorised or not adequately
trained personnel
The meter must be used only for the purposes it was made for; the manufacturer is not
responsible for any damage resulting from failure to comply with the conditions of use
The meter must be operated only within the technical limits described in the operator’s
manual; the manufacturer is not responsible for any damage resulting from failure to
comply with the operational limits
2.3 Instructions for the operator
The operator must adhere to safety and accident-prevention standards currently in
force in the country where the device is installed
The operator must not, by his own initiative, carry out any operation that is outside his
competence
The operator must carefully comply with hazard and/or prohibition instructions contained
in this manual
Do not use petrol, solvents or other flammable substances to clean parts. Use only
approved commercial solvents that are non-flammable and non-toxic
2.4 Servicing instructions
Never carry out any maintenance, servicing or regulation before having closed the root
valve, discharged the pressure from the system and disconnected the power supply to
any electrical device (if present), unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Read carefully the rating plates on the individual equipment
All maintenance operations, either ordinary or extraordinary, must be done by
authorised and trained personnel
The maintenance operator must wear clothes adequate to the working environment
and to the situation; in particular, loose or voluminous clothes, chains, bracelets, rings,
earrings or anything that might get caught in the mechanical parts of the system should
be avoided
The maintenance operator must wear adequate protective devices in accordance with
safety and accident-prevention regulations
In explosive environments use only antisparking equipment
If the meter is connected to any electric or electronic equipment, disconnect all of them
from the power supply before doing any servicing or regulation operation, unless
explicitly stated otherwise in the manual

2.5 Operation precautions
The meter must always remain full of product; to achieve this, it is suggested to install
the meter so that it remains below the main line.
The line upstream the meter must be kept full of product to avoid that some air enters
the meter.
Each meter must be adjusted following the instructions supplied in the operator’s
manual.
Follow the recommendations of the manufacturer when installing pumps. Pay particular
attention to factors such as the use of foot valves, inlet pipes dimension and conformity
with NPSH when there are suction pumps. Follow the recommendations of the
manufacturer to minimise the problems due to air and vapours.
For flashing liquids (quick gasification of the liquid) or easily vaporising liquids at high
environmental temperatures, e.g. light hydrocarbon, it is advisable the use of
submerged aspirations and pipes larger than the nominal dimension of the pump.
Thermal expansions that generate overpressures can easily damage the meters and
the systems in general. Put safety valves for overpressure in every section that can be
closed through regulation or isolation valves.

CAUTION
All parts under pressure must be released before disassembling the
meter or its accessories for adjustment, inspection, servicing or
substitution of its components.
Also make sure that all electric or electronic part, if present, are
disconnected from its power supply.
3 Installation
3.1 Precautions
The installation of the meter counter does not require any special procedure; just pay
attention to the following points:
The meter counter must be installed horizontally; for other applications a vertical
arrangement is provided. In both cases the rotor axis must be kept horizontal.
All the meter’s openings are protected with covers when shipped; those must not be
removed until the meter is installed on the piping
Before the installation of the meter, it's suggested to clean thoroughly the piping to
remove dirt, crusts and other foreign particles.
Piping should not exercise strain on the meter. The meter is designed for overhang and
supports should be provided only on the adjacent pipes.
Leave space enough around the meter to ease access for adjustment, servicing and
disassembly. The counter, if present, must be easily readable.
The meter must always remain full of product; it's suggested to install the meter so that
it remains always under the main line.
The line upstream the meter must always remain full of product to avoid that air enters
the meter's measure chamber; if the pipe arrangement allows reversal flow, a non-
return valve must be installed.
Flow through the meter must be regular and uniform; pulsating and irregular flows must
be avoided.
It is recommended to install flow limiting valves downstream of the meter if the flow rate
can reach values higher than the maximum allowed for the meter.
If the line pressure can reach values higher than the maximum allowed, automatic
safety valves must be installed in adequate places.
To protect meter from damages due to foreign particles in the liquid, a suitable strainer
with a correct mesh number (40 mesh for oil, 60 mesh for diesel oil, 100 mesh for
gasoline) must be installed upstream the meter.
In case the rate of flow through the installation exceeds the meter maximum rated capacity,
it is advisable to use a flow limiting valve, which must be installed downstream the
same meter.
