1. INTRODUCTION

SATAM has been a leading specialist for over 50 years in the field of Petroleum Product Measurement and
Delivery.

We were the first on the world market to build a complete, compact Bulkmetering System, ready to install
and operate, specifically designed to provide solutions to truck and wagon Loading problems in Oil Depots.

This Bulkmetering Unit, model ZCE 5., is available in 2 sizes and flow rates, available in vertical or
horizontal position (Fig.1) :

- 2" : ZCE 5-24.

- 2" : ZCE 5-48.
- 3" : ZCE 5-80 - ZCE 5 TLM 3-30, ZCE 5 TLM 3-50, ZCE 5 TLM 3-70, ZCE 5 TLM 3-110
et ZCE 5 TLM 3-150.
- 4" : ZCE 5-150 – ZCE 5 TLM 4-70, ZCE 5 TLM 4-110, ZCE 5 TLM 4-150, ZCE 5TLM 4-
200 et ZCE 5 TLM 4-300.

A wide range of accessories is available for installation on these metering units (Fig.1, 2 and 3):

For the mechanical versions:

- Ticket Printer.
- Additive Injector.
- Preset.

For the electronic versions:

- Additive Injector.
- System of on-line mixture for biofuel

Their installation, easy, decreases by as much the expenses of studies and installation.

Thanks to their design, the metering units may be installed under the loading platform, thereby allowing
simultaneous loading of 2 trucks on each side of the loading bay.

3. OPERATING PRINCIPLE
3.1. With the automatic purgeur of elimination of typical gases EC 29

The product enters the measuring chamber by the lower manifold of the measuring chamber (1).

It is directed toward the EC 29 Strainer air Eliminator unit and is filtered through the stainless steel filter
baskets (3) : 50 microns for gasoline, 200 microns for fuel oil and diesel oil.

Continual air elimination is made in the EC 29 Air Eliminator body through the automatic Air Eliminator
head (4) (If large pockets of air are detected, the Valve automatically closes until all air is completely
eliminated).

The product is then directed to the MA 21 measuring chamber (5) via the manifold (1).

The motion induced in the measuring chamber by the passage of fluid is transmitted to the AB 21 stepless
calibrating mechanism (6) then to the mechanical register, either directly or through an XAB 28 adjustable
extension, where the volume delivered is displayed.
In the case of an electronic computer electronic computer, the movement is transmitted to a transmitter of
impulses then directly with the calculator EQUALIS L or S or MPC or MECI type CDN 12 or VEEDER
ROOT type EMR 3.
.

After measurement, the liquid flows back through the manifold (1) and is discharged to the loading
installation through the Stop Valve or Multifunction Valve (7) on top of the metering unit.

3.2. With the automatic device of detection of gases and purge
The liquid under pressure arrives by the network downstream at the automatic device of detection of gases
( 1 ).

He goes then to the automatic device of detection of gases ( 2 ) in passing previously in the filter EA 40 or
EA 41 ( 7 ) for the versions ZCE 5 80 and ZCE 5 150.
The continuous function of elimination of the air is realized by the automatic device of detection of gases
(the presence of an important pocket of air brings the closure of the gate (6) of the group of counting until
complete evacuation of this pocket of air.)

The product is then directed to the MA 21 measuring chamber (4) via the manifold (3).

The motion induced in the measuring chamber by the passage of fluid is transmitted either directly to a
transmitter of impulses then directly with the calculator, EQUALIS L (5), where the volume delivered is
displayed.

After measurement, the liquid flows back through the manifold (3) and is discharged to the loading
installation through the Stop Valve or Multifunction Valve (6) on top of the metering unit.

4. DESCRIPTION

4.1. EC 29 Strainer Air Eliminator with automatic closure

The EC 29 Strainer Air Eliminator unit is designed for use in installations, where in normal operating
conditions, the risk of continual air penetration through the product pipeline into the Metering Unit is
eliminated.

The EC 29 unit consists of two separate elements:

- the electrically-controlled strainer air eliminator unit

- the electrically-operated Stop valve.

The Strainer air eliminator unit consists of filter baskets (2 per unit) and an air eliminator head with
automatic closure, which carries out the following functions (Fig1 p 13) :

Continual and automatic elimination of small quantities of gas thanks to valve (1) opening controlled by
levers (2) and float (3).

Le 01/12/15 11/42 U508098-e Révision : 06

 In the very rare cases where the storage tank is empty or nearly empty and the installation is restarted,
any air pockets entering the system will cause the electrical contact to interrupt the electric circuit and
close the valve until all air is completely eliminated.

The electric circuit is cut off in the following manner:

The level of liquid in the EC 29 unit falls, causing the float (3) to drop. The float falling takes the magnet
(4) with it . The magnet (4) is attached to the two levers (2) which usually keep the Reed switch (5)
closed.

Therefore, the float (3) falls, causing the contact to open and breaking the circuit. To restore the circuit,
the float (3) must rise again after complete evacuation of all air pockets.

Drain plug (6) is used for draining.

Possibility of commanding this closure through the computer.

NB : maximum voltage of Reed switch (5) : 220 V

maximum current : 3 amp.
It is equipped on the high part and with before 2 embossings to receive a temperature sensor and a
thimble for thermometer.
And on the high part 2 embossings ½“ and 3/8“ (tap pressure, thermometer….)

4.3. Measuring Chamber

The SATAM MA 21 measuring chamber is a blade driven unit where the volume is measured on the basis
of the quantity trapped between two consecutive blades at a given moment in rotation.
The measuring chamber consists of :

a ni-resist cast-iron stator (1) formed of two cylindrical parts (2 & 3) of different radii, connected via
curves in such a way that the sum of the distances from center point O to two points opposite each
other on the stator is constant.
Liquid enters the meter under pressure, in the direction indicated by the arrow, and sets the moving
part, i.e. rotor (4) and blades (7& 8) (connected to each other by rigid rods (8)), in rotating motion. The
blades are guided by the cylindrical parts (2 & 3) and the curved crescent (10) ensuring a smooth, non
fluctuating flow of product.
The aluminum rotor rotates on two stainless steel bearings (5).
The two covers (6) provide efficient protection against strain. The proximity of the rotor to the front and
rear cover (6) of the casing forms an efficient seal, whilst the profile of the casing guides the blades on
to the measuring crescent.
The proximity of the rotor to the front and rear cover provides an efficient seal, reducing internal
leakage to a minimum and thus ensuring the high accuracy of the SATAM measuring chamber
(between 5 & 100% of flow rate).
Very few elements in the measuring chamber are subject to friction and this results in less wear and
accuracy over a long period of time. The blades are free and make light contact with the stator in the
measuring crescent under the effect of their weight and centrifugal force. Wear on blades is very low
and does not affect meter accuracy. This simple design is a great advantage compared to shaft-guided
blades where wear immediately affects the meter's accuracy.
An extended shaft through the front cover transmits the rotor movement to the calibration mechanism.
The basic design of all SATAM measuring chambers is identical. The higher rating of the larger meters
is obtained by bolting together two or three body casings and fitting them with double or triple rotor
assemblies: manifold sizes increase accordingly.

4.4. AB 21 Calibrating Mechanism

OPERATION

The AB 21 Calibrating Device is housed in an aluminum box on the outlet of the meter rotor shaft.

The movement of the meter, via the complete gasket (1), drives the wheel (2) which in turn drives the disk
shaft (3). Gear (4) is fixed onto this shaft.

The disk shaft (3) drives the roller (5) by friction. Its position in relation to the center of the disk is set by
adjusting screw (6) using a "C" spanner (cf Chapter "Meter Adjustment"). The disk is kept in contact with
the roller by the pressure exerted by the spring (7).

The direction and speed of the roller (5) affects the movement ratio of wheel (8) and screw (9). The pinion
(10), integral with the screw, gears into the satellite support (11). (Herein lies the basic principle of "micro-
adjustment" which provides very high accuracy thanks to the principle of differentials).

The bevel gear (12) drives the bevel gear (13) integral to the drive shaft (14). This forms the basis of the
Register's recording.

The AB 35 calibrating mechanism is located at the outlet of the transmission device.

The movement of the measuring chamber drives the transmission device gear via the endless screw. At
the end of the transmission device, a drive shaft links to the AB 35 calibrating mechanism.

Operation :
Meter movement is transmitted via the inlet shaft (1) to the outlet shaft (2) by a wheel (3). This inlet shaft
(1) drives an eccentric hub (4) which, via the disk (5) and a second wheel (6), drives the outlet shaft (2)
faster at certain parts of the cycle.

The position of the hub (4) can be adjusted using an adjustment screw (7) . Each notch of the screw equals
a correction of 0.25‰ , whatever the direction of adjustment. Maximum 40 ‰.

The Stop valve operates by differential pressure. The Valve inlet circuit is controlled by an electromagnetic
valve.

The Stop Valve consists of the following elements :

a steel housing (1), at the base of which is located a no-return valve (2) which rises during passage of
product and falls back onto its seat when liquid flow has stopped. This no-return valve has a
decompression ball.
The upper part of the housing contains a ni-resist cast iron chamber (3) containing an electromagnetic
valve (4) that opens or blocks the inlet circuit (5) linking upstream and downstream of the valve.
A moving part (6) consisting of a piston, a gasket and a deflector slides freely within the chamber.
This moving part is kept in place by pressure exerted by spring (7). The lower part of the chamber is
closed by a cover which also guides the no-return valve.
A plug covers the inlet hole.

Le 01/12/15 17/42 U508098-e Révision : 06

 OPERATION

When the electromagnet (4) is not energized (Fig 1) the core (9) is kept in place "AV" by pressure from the
spring (10) and blocks the inlet channel (5). In these conditions, liquid pressure upstream of the valve is
transferred inside the chamber by inlet hole (B). A hole (A) at the top of the piston allows evacuation of air
pockets.

The mobile part (6) is kept closed by the spring (7) and especially by liquid pressure exerted on the back of
the piston.

With the valve closed, if power to the electromagnet is switched on, its core (9) moves to position "AR" (Fig.
2), thereby opening the inlet and connecting the piston chamber with the installation downstream. The
piston chamber is therefore practically at downstream pressure.

The moving part (6) is now subject to :

a) pressure to close, resulting from downstream pressure on the rear of the piston
b) pressure to open, resulting from :
- downstream pressure on the front surface of the piston
- upstream pressure on the front surface of the piston

This latter force being strongest, the piston falls, freeing the lateral holes and allowing liquid to flow. The
moving part (6) remains in open position due to the pressure difference upstream and downstream acting
on the piston surface.

If during delivery the electromagnet's electricity supply is cut off, the inlet circuit is blocked and the pressure
in the valve chamber gradually rises, the valve closes and we are again at the beginning of the process
described above.

N.B. On request, the Stop Valve may be supplied with a "low flow" electromagnet. This second
electromagnet, identical to electromagnet (4), opens a circuit 'C' when energized, linking downstream of the
valve to an orifice (D) drilled in the chamber at approximately 2mm below the piston skirt.

Whenever the "low flow" electromagnet is energized alone, pressure in the piston chamber is practically the
same as downstream pressure, resulting in the valve opening until the piston falls to cover the orifice (D).
Pressure in the chamber then tends to rise to the same level as upstream pressure, resulting in piston
equilibrium.
The valve solenoids have a stand-by power of 33 VA and start-up power of 60 VA.

The XAD 36 & 37 Multifunction valves operate by differential pressure. The inlet circuit is controlled by a
shaft controlled by the AC 16 box.

The Valve consists of the following parts :

An outer steel housing (1), at the base of which is located an aluminium no-return valve (3)
supported by its valve seat (2). The no-return valve rises during product flow and falls when liquid
flow has stopped. This no-return valve has a decompression ball (4) tarred at 0.4 bar, and a
stainless steel retaining spring (5).

The upper part of the housing containing an aluminium chamber (6) fixed by 3 screws (7).

A moving part (8) consisting of an aluminium piston, a gasket and a deflector sliding freely within
the chamber.

This moving part is kept in place by pressure exerted by spring (9). A stainless steel control lever
(10) opens or closes the inlet circuit (11) linking upstream and downstream of the valve.
A spring keeps the control shaft (10) in place. A control lever (13) connected to the fork joint (14)
in the AC 16 control box acts on this control shaft (10).

Valve closure time can be adjusted using the calibration screw (15).

An AC 16 control box in aluminium consisting of : a stainless steel drive shaft (17) equipped with a
stainless steel beam (18). This shaft is controlled by 2 electromagnets (19) allowing operation in
low flow or high flow, and a micro switch (20).

Electrical power supply for the electromagnet : 70 VA stand-by power and 1000 VA working power.

 OPERATION

The power supply to the electromagnets (1 & 2) is switched off. The pilot (3) is kept in a closed position by
the spring (4) and blocks the piston opening (5). In these conditions, liquid pressure upstream of the valve
is transferred inside the chamber through the inlet hole (6).

The mobile assembly (7) is kept closed by liquid pressure exerted on the piston and by the spring (8).

With the valve closed, if an electrical current is applied to the electromagnets (1 & 2) , they change position,
forcing the beam (9) up. This movement acts on lever (10) resulting in the pilot opening which in turns
opens the inlet circuit connecting the piston chamber with the installation downstream.

The piston chamber is thus practically at downstream pressure.

The reticule adjusting screw ( 6 ) being of section lower than the hole of evacuation, the fall of pressure
which becomes established then in the room(chamber) of the piston with regard to the amont pressure
allows the mobile crew ( 7 ) to open.

The mobile part (7) remains in open position due to pressure difference upstream and downstream acting
on the piston surface.

Transfer from high to low flow : this occurs after switching off the high flow electromagnet (2) and
maintaining the low flow electromagnet (1) , resulting in the partial closure of the piston.

Valve closure : this occurs after disconnecting the low flow electromagnet (1).

Conditions of use:
The maximum flowrate of the SATAM measuring system is 80 m3/h for the ZCE 5 80/80 and 150 m3/h for
the ZCE 5 80/150. For these flowrate values, the minimum pressure required by the loading electrovalves
is 2 bars.

Supply conditions may affect flowrate, however. The maximum flowrate that the ZCE 5 measuring systems
can reach may sometimes be lower than the theoretical maximum (although still over four times higher than
the minimum flowrate). In such cases minimum pressure may be reduced to values below 2 bars.

The maximum flowrate and minimum pressure of the ZCE 5 80/80 and ZCE 5 80/150 measuring systems
are therefore given according to the type of valve and the maximum flowrate actually reached (according to
supply conditions), as in this graph:

The maximum flowrate and minimum pressure specified on the measuring system’s data plate must
correspond to the maximum flowrate reached during on-site conformity verification accuracy tests (see
paragraph 8).

In the presence of the ZCE 5 TLM, conditions of use are identical in the presence of valves XAD 37 and
XAD 36 until 150 m3, beyond that is with the measuring system ZCE 5 TLM 4-200 and ZCE 5 TLM 4-300,
the measuring system must be equipped with a proportional valve to mechanical, electric or pneumatic
piloted command of compatible pressure with the maximal pressure of 10 bar of the measuring system.

4.9. Preset with XAD 54 pneumatic Preset valve

The valve XAD 54 is a valve in two debits commanded pneumatically. On equipments SATAM she can be
piloted by a system of meadow mechanical déterminateur connected with pneumatic distributors. The valve
XAD 54 can be also ordered by a typical electronic computer: EQUALIS L, EQUALIS S, EQUALIS MPC,
EMR 3 or other connected with pneumatic solenoid valves. The 2 debits result from 2 different pneumatic
pressures:

- An adjustable pressure to fit the small debit to the closure and to the opening.
- The pressure of the network to authorize the opening of the valve in big debit

This function for valve to shut off debit, after distribution it isolates the portion of the count of the installation
of the flexible portion and the gun.

Notes: The "low flow" mode is indispensable when closing the valve, it reduces the flow at the
end of distribution. For metrological reasons, it is necessary to go through a phase of
decreasing flow distribution in the end to get the exact predetermined amount of fuel.

The XAB 28 adjustable extension is used for transmission heights of over 1m and in particular for truck and
wagon loading from a platform.

The upper part of the extension supports the register-ticket printer unit. A swivel mechanism placed
between the extension and the register-printer unit allows this latter unit to rotate freely through 300°
without affecting the register reading.

The XAB 28 extension consists of a transmission tube (1) and two protection tubes (2) (3) :
- the lower tube (2) is fixed and of a predetermined height
- the upper tube (3) slides both inside this tube and in a sheath (4) fixed to the platform.

Lower tube (2) is fixed to the connection box or the AB 21 calibration device.

Upper Tube (3) is fixed on support (7) by a conical grip (8) and allows adjustment of the height of the
register during installation.

The transmission tube (1) is supported at the top by a bearing (9) and at the bottom by a disk (10) and
transfers meter movement to the Register.

5. INSTALLATION

1- Installation with Standard Stop valves 3" and 4"

The upper connection flange must be a flat-faced flange. Raised-faced (RF) flanges must not be used
under any circumstances, as they may lead to permanent damage of valve bodies.

The lower flange is a standard flange.

- Installation with XAD 36 or 37 valves

The lower flange of the upper pipe is a standard flange.

2- The upper and lower connecting pipes must be correctly aligned and their flanges parallel.

3- The lower connecting pipe must be flexible enough to avoid transmitting stress and strain
between the piping and the loading platform via the metering unit. If it is necessary to support
this pipe, care should be taken to preserve its flexibility.
Figure 5 shows a correct installation.
Figures 6 and 7 are examples of incorrect installations, to be avoided at all costs.

5.1. INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1.1 General

The SATAM ZCE 5 Bulkmetering Units are designed to be suspended under the loading platform and not
to be supported by the product delivery pipe.

5.1.2 Platform design

Therefore, the platform should be sufficiently rigid to withstand not only the movement generated by the
rotation of the loading arms, but also the weight of the metering units installed underneath.

5.1.3 Installation of the Metering Unit

The following steps must be carried out in the order given :

Fig 1 Install the loading arm support (1)

Fig 2 Install the upper connecting pipe (2) and accessories between the loading arm support and the
upper flange of Metering Unit's Stop Valve (3)
Fig 3 Install the Bulkmetering unit by connecting the Stop Valve's upper flange and the lower flange
of the connecting pipe (4) to the loading arm.

To avoid damage, the transmission tube (1) is supplied in two parts.

fix the upper part (3) onto the platform, adjust height, tighten the conical grip (8).
Slide the lower part (2) into the upper part (3) and keep it in this position.
Assemble the upper part of the transmission tube (1) to the lower part using the shaft (12) and pins
(13) after cutting – if necessary – the tube to the required height.
Make sure that the drive plate (14) is engaged with the drive (5) and that there is a clearance (J) of
approximately 3 to 4mm .
Tighten the upper part.
Lower the protection tube (2) and fix it to the AB.21 Calibrating device or the connection box.

NB : We strongly recommend that the pin 'S' should be a copper pin of ∅ 2.5 mm. In this case, it
may also act as a safety pin.

The lower tube (2) should remain in the upper part of the extension once this unit is secured to
the connection box or calibrating mechanism.

6. OPERATION

Once all hydraulic and electrical connections have been completed and checked, the metering unit can be
put into operation (commissioning).

Optimal conditions for commissioning require :

clean product without any particles

clean pipes, thoroughly rinsed and free of water.
Refer to the note of the computer for its starting within the framework of an electronic group.

Important

Do not under any circumstances let rinse water into the metering unit.

AFTER MAKING SURE THAT THE ABOVE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED, COMMISSIONING
MAY BEGIN.

Carefully open the isolating valves, taking care to evacuate any compressed air trapped inside the
piping. Before opening the pump, open the air eliminator valve to completely eliminate air. Repeat this
operation several times, at intervals of a few minutes.

Repeat the procedure for the loading arm ; slowly open the loading arm valve several times to
completely eliminate air.

Once regular, smooth product flow is achieved, without any pressure surges, open the valve fully and
start the pump.

The differential Stop Valve plays a major role not only during commissioning, but also during
operations : it should only open when there is no air in the system. It is quite possible that Weight and
Measures Authorities carry out breaking-point tests during acceptance of the unit.

6.1. SERVICING of STRAINERS

6.1.1 Inspection

After commissioning, strainers should be regularly inspected to make sure that no impurities or particles
are blocking the strainer baskets.

No special tools are required to dismantle the strainers.

6.1.2 Cleaning

The strainer baskets are cleaned with diesel or kerosene. In order not to interrupt loading operations during
cleaning, we recommend that the customer has one or two sets of spare strainer baskets in stock :
50 microns for gasoline
200 microns for diesel oil and fuel oil.

Before cleaning the filter baskets, completely drain the air eliminator body by removing the plug at the
bottom of the air eliminator.

The Stop Valve should open when electricity is supplied to the electromagnet solenoid and close as soon
as the electrical current is cut.

The same conditions apply when the Valve is used as a Preset Valve, the only difference being that the
preset valve closes in two stages, low flow and stop.

All our valves are tested in the factory.

If however, due to unfavorable installation conditions (pressure, impurities, air pockets…), the valve does
not function satisfactorily, it should be inspected.

Above all, check that the electrical current supplied is the same as that indicated on the identification plate
of the metering unit.

Current French legislation stipulates :

- Metrological inspection of the meter at operation start-up.

- Thereafter, annual inspections.

If during gauging operations, the meter is found to lie outside the tolerated error, it may be adjusted through
its AB 21or AB 35 calibration box for the meters equipped with a mechanical indicator and by means of the
coefficient with correction for the electronic computer electronic computers (see appendix 2 of the U511282
note for SAPHIR and U516318 for the l’EQUALIS L or S and 516703 for the EQUALIS MPC).

As a general rule yearly maintenance checks are recommended.

As regards XAD 36 and XAD 37 Multifunction Valves, we recommend that the mechanical controls of the
AC 16 connection box be inspected twice a year.

Maintenance and Servicing operations should be carried out by a maintenance company approved by
Weights and Measures Authorities.

8. REMARK VERY IMPORTANT

The SATAM company declines any responsibilities concerning modifications brought on the
whole measurement, after a final control or a primitive chec
We strongly advise against the use of a high pressure water jet to clean the measuring unit,
as this could seriously damage the metering unit.
