    BM SERIES METERS
    Avery-Hardoll bulkmeters are precision made, positive displacement, liquid measuring instruments,which
    maintain accurate metering over long periods of operation. Simplicity of design and construction together
    with sustained accuracy has led to the widespread use of these meters on aviation refuelling vehicles, in oil
    terminals throughout the world and also as master meters for use in calibration.

    OPERATION
    The positive displacement principle is the ONLY accurate method of measuring fluid flow. No other
    technology can achieve such accuracy because measurement becomes inferred, that is indirect and subject
    to assumption.The Avery-Hardoll bulkmeter directly converts volume to rotational output with minimum
    scope for error and with minimal disturbance from surrounding conditions, eg. turbulence from nearby
    valves, bends, etc.
    The product enters the meter through the inlet manifold (1) and causes the rotor (4) to revolve by pressure
    on the vanes (3).
    The proximity of the rotor (4) to the body (2) forms an efficient seal, whilst the profile of the casing ensures
    that the vanes (3) are guided through the measuring crescent (5), where the volume of product is accurately
    measured.
    Product at line pressure fills the spaces between the inner (6) and outer (7) end covers providing `pressure
    balanced inner end covers' which are therefore protected from distortion due to changes in line pressure.
    An extension shaft driving through a pressure tight gland in the meter front cover, transmits the rotor
    revolutions to the calibrating gearing (8) which drives the counter (9).

    CONSTRUCTION
    MANIFOLD: Fabricated steel or ductile iron (ductile iron not available on
    triple capsule meters)
    BODY: Ni-Resist cast iron
    VANES: Carbon
    ROTOR: Aluminium or Ni-Resist cast iron
    OUTER COVERS: Aluminium or Ni-Resist cast iron
    INNER COVERS: Ni-Resist cast iron
    BEARINGS: Stainless steel
    SEALS: High nitrile or fluorocarbon
    SPECIFICATION

    Maximum working pressure: 10.5 bar (150 psi)


    Test pressure: 21 bar (300 psi)
    Temperature range: -28C to 100C

    Volume per revolution: 2.27 litres (single capsule)


    4.54 litres (double capsule)
    6.82 litres (triple capsule)

    Repeatability typically: .02%

    Typical accuracy curves for basic meter build (10:1 turndown)

    CALIBRATION
    Calibration adjustment is provided to minimize the meter error at any selected flowrate. Adjustment is
    stepless; no gear changing is necessary; and the calibration screw is easily accessible after breaking a
    seal and removing a sealing screw.

    All meters are tested to 300 psi (21 bar).


    All Avery-Hardoll meters are tested before despatch at a range of flowrates and test certificates can be
    supplied if requested.
    The fluid used for testing is odorless kerosene.
    Specific gravity at 60/60F, 15/15C = 0.8
    Viscosity at 60F, 15C = 2.4 centistokes.

    Suggested correction to be made to the calibrating mechanism when used with products with different
    viscosities as follows:

    Gasoline + 0.1% + means increase counter readings


    Kerosene 0.0% - means decrease counter readings.
    Gas Oil - 0.1%
    Fuel Oil - 0.22%

    PRESSURE LOSS
    The low pressure drop for the BM series of Avery-Hardoll bulkmeters is shown opposite.

    VISCOUS PRODUCTS
    Avery-Hardoll bulkmeters can be used on all petroleum products of all viscosities that are normally
    pumped. However there is obviously an increase in pressure drop with more viscous fuels which will,
    under normal circumstances, limit the maximum flowrate obtainable.
    It is recommended that the pressure drop through a bulkmeter should not exceed 15 psi (one bar), above
    which the load on the bearings will start to cause wear. Consequently when using products with viscosities
    (at operating conditions) above 100 centistokes, it is necessary to reduce the maximum permitted flowrate.
    As a guide it is suggested that the pressure drop through the meter should not exceed 10 psi (0.7 bar) for
    continuous running at maximum speed or 15 psi (one bar) for continuous running at half speed.

    METER ACCESSORIES
    A full range of accessories is available for use with all Avery-Hardoll bulkmeters and these are described in
    the following paragraphs. Details may be obtained from each relevant leaflet.

    COUNTERS
    The meters are fitted with standard Veeder-Root counters, having a five large figure zeroising drum and a
    seven figure small non-zeroising totaliser and can be supplied to read in any of the following units:

    Imperial gallons US gallons Cubic metres


    Litres Decalitres

    and when a Volume/Weight adaptor is employed:

    Pounds Kilogrammes

    TICKET PRINTER
    Available with or without identifier, in the following forms:

    1. Batch delivery, starting at zero and showing the amount delivered.


    2. Accumulative tote giving initial and final totaliser figures.

    MECHANICAL PRESET AND PRESET VALVE


    A Veeder-Root preset register with five figure resettable counter is used to preset a batch to be delivered.
    This controls a lever operated preset valve via a mechanical linkage, providing two stage closure and
    precise shut off of flow.

    MECHANICAL PRESET WITH MICROSWITCHES


    Microswitches can be fitted to the preset register to control pump start and stop, and solenoid operated
    preset valves.

    RATE OF FLOW INDICATOR

    SWIVEL
    EXTENDED COUNTER DRIVE
    Provided for installations where the counter is required to be read at height above the bulkmeter.

    VERTICAL MOUNTING
    All sizes of Avery-Hardoll BM series bulkmeters can be supplied with counters and counter extensions
    arranged so that the meters can be mounted in vertical pipework.

    TEMPERATURE COMPENSATED METERS


    Bulkmeters can be supplied with a temperature compensator which automatically adjusts the indicated
    volume on the counter to an equivalent volume at the standard temperature (60F of 15C). Dual read-out
    (GR) can be provided - one counter showing corrected volume and a second counter showing actual
    volume.

    Compensator unit -6.5C to 82C

    VOLUME / WEIGHT ADAPTOR


    This unit converts the read-out from volume to weight after the appropriate specific gravity has been set on
    a dial. When used with a temperature compensator the weight read-out is automatically obtained for a
    given grade of fuel by setting specific gravity at standard temperature.

    ADDITIVE MECHANISM
    Mechanically injects fractional proportions of additives at a pre-determined ratio.

    STRAINER
    Essential to prevent damage to the meter and is available with 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 mesh baskets, with
    either cast iron or cast steel body.

    AIR SEPARATOR
    Prevents entrained air reaching the meter.

    FLOW GOVERNOR
    Limits flow rate at maximum meter capacity when several meters are fed from one pump.

    TROLLEYS/TRAILERS
    All sizes of Avery-Hardoll bulkmeters can be supplied mounted on trolleys/trailers for quayside bunkering
    or as master meters.
