The Smith Meter PRIME 4 Meter is a 4", single-case, positive displacement meter designed for maximum accuracy and reliability. The PRIME 4 is ideal for loading rack service and custody transfer of petroleum products. Applications include gasolines and oxygenates, ethanol, kerosene, diesel fuel, jet fuels, and fuel oils.

Features
Superior Accuracy Minimal slippage for outstanding linearity and maximum accuracy. Low Pressure Drop A unique flow pattern minimizes pressure drop to less than 3.2 psi at extended maximum ow. Superb Reliability Unique design with only three moving parts means low initial cost and minimum maintenance. Direct pulse output eliminates the mechanical drive train resulting in fewer parts to fail and no need for a packing gland. Long Service Life Horizontal rotor and specially designed journal bearings minimize wear. Long-Term Stability Polyketone blades show decreased wear over time keeping the meter stable between proving intervals and resulting in time and cost savings.

Options
Quadrature (Dual Output Signal) Two discrete pulse channels are generated 90 electrical degrees out-of-phase with each other. By monitoring these signals with a pulse sequence comparator, the integrity of the system can be checked for pulse transmission errors (noise), loss of transmitter power, malfunctioning transmitter, and faulty transmission cable.

Operating Temperature Range Standard: (Buna-N) Seals -20F to 150F (-29C to 65C). Optional: Viton1 Seals 10F to 200F (-12C to 93C). Optional: Low Swell Buna Seals -20F to 150F (-29C to 65C).

Note: Drain must always be in down position as shown. Vent source should always be the highest vertical point of the meter. The cover vent may not always be at this point and an alternate vent source should be used.

9 Horizontal ow with nozzles down is an alternate arrangement. However, it is not preferred because external drain plugs in the piping are required. If this arrangement is used, the cover should be rotated to place the drain in the down position.
