INTRODUCTION The Blancett Model 200 is a rugged low-priced flow meter specifically designed for low flow capacity waterflood projects. The multijet impeller provides accurate long-term flow measurement and accumulative volumetric totals of high pressure floodwater. With a minimal number of moving parts, the Model 200 provides dependable operation with low maintenance. OPERATING PRINCIPLE The Model 200 features a radial vaned impeller, mounted on a vertical spindle within a cylindrical measuring chamber. Fluid entering the meter passes through the lower measuring chamber through several tangential orifices located around the cylinder. The flowing water causes the impeller blades to rotate at a speed directly proportional to flow rate. The rotating impeller is magnetically coupled to a mechanical register, and each impeller rotation is mechanically tabulated and displayed. Figure 1 Operating Principle Form 02-PDM-UM-00109 07/12 3
SPECIFICATIONS FLOW RANGE: 5...685 bpd (0.15...20 gpm) Continuous flow not to exceed 342 bpd (10 gpm) MATERIALS of CONSTRUCTION: Body: Stainless Steel Rotary Vane Impeller: Fiber-glass filled Ryton Gaskets: Top seal cup & bottom measuring element Neoprene or optional Viton Connections: 1" NPT female OPERATING LIMITATIONS: Temperature: 30 F...200 F (-1 C...93 C) The meter should not be subjected to temperatures below the freezing point of the metered liquid. Pressure: 1,000 psi maximum Accuracy: ±1.0% of reading Repeatability: ±0.1% Corrosion: All Blancett Model 200 meters are constructed of stainless steel and tungsten carbide. The operator must ensure that the operating fluid is compatible with these materials. Incompatible fluids can cause deterioration of internal components and cause a reduction in meter accuracy. Pulsation and Vibration: Severe pulsation and mechanical vibration will affect accuracy and shorten the life of the meter. Filtration: A strainer capable of removing 0.020" (0.50 mm) particles, should be installed upstream of the meter. 4 Form 02-PDM-UM-00109 07/12
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Prior to installation, the flow meter should be checked internally for foreign material and to ensure the impeller spins freely. Fluid lines should also be checked and cleared of all debris. The flow meter must be installed with the flow arrow, cast on the exterior of the meter body, pointing in the direction of fluid flow. The preferred mounting orientation is to have the meter installed in horizontal piping with the register facing upward. The liquid being measured should be free of any large particles that may obstruct rotation of the impeller. If particles are present, a mesh strainer should be installed upstream before operation of the flow meter. Some sand and small particles are permissible. A 30 30 (0.020 opening) mesh strainer is recommended. The preferred plumbing setup is one containing a by-pass line that allows meter inspection and repair without interrupting flow. If a bypass line is not utilized, it is important that all control valves be located downstream of the flow meter. (See Figures 3 and 4 on page 6.) CAUTION: Open valves slowly to ensure that entrapped air does not cause meter to rotate at an excessive speed. Damage can be caused by striking an empy meter with a high velocity flow of gas or liquid. This is true with any restriction in the flow line that may cause the liquid to flash. If necessary, air eliminators should be installed to ensure that the meter is not incorrectly measuring entrained air or gas. Do not locate the flow meter close to a pump, because sever pulsation may negatively effect accuracy and flow meter life. Form 02-PDM-UM-00109 07/12 5

OPERATIONAL START-UP The following steps should be followed when installing and starting the meter. WARNING: Make sure that fluid flow has been shut off and pressure in the line released before attempting to install the meter in an existing system. 1. After meter installation, close the isolation valves and open the bypass valve. Flow liquid through the by-pass valve for sufficient time to eliminate any air or gas in the flow line. CAUTION: Damage can be caused by striking an empty meter with a high velocity flow stream. 2. Open upstream isolating valve slowly to eliminate hydraulic shock while charging the meter with the liquid. Open the valve to full open. 3. Open downstream isolating valve to permit meter to operate. 4. Close the by-pass valve to a full closed position. 5. Adjust the downstream valve to provide the required flow rate through the meter. NOTE: The downstream valve may be used as a control valve. Form 02-PDM-UM-00109 07/12 7
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Trouble Possible Cause Remedy No indication on register Low flow indication High flow indication Debris in measuring chamber Broken gears or shaft in register assembly Flow rate is too low By-pass valves are leaking Gas in liquid Debris covering a portion of the meter inlet Disassemble meter, clean out debris and inspect for worn parts Replace register Increase flow above 0.25 gpm Close valves completely, repair or replace Install gas eliminator ahead of meter Remove meter from line and clean out debris 8 Form 02-PDM-UM-00109 07/12
