Operating Principle

General Information
• MAOP 290 psig
• Temperature range -40 F to +140 F
• Meets ANSI B109.3 (pending)
• Approvals pursuant to MID/PED/ATEX directives
• Media: dry natural gas, noncorrosive industrial gases Options
• Pulse outputs
• Thermowell
• Index masking
• Gasket strainers
• Flange bolts and gaskets
• AMR mounting
• Differential pressure gauge kit

The RABO meter utilizes the rotary-type positive displacement principle of operation which makes volumetric measurements by displacing finite volumes of gas. The positive displacement occurs within a cavity formed between the meter’s internal housing and its rotating impellers. The counter-rotating “figure-8” impellers turn as a result of pressure drop across the meter’s inlet and outlet created as downstream gas is consumed. The rotating impellers separate the flowing gas into small, finite, volumes and are counted using a mechanical index. 

Pulse Outputs
Elster RABO flow meters come equipped with a drive magnet as standard equipment for easy adaptability of a low frequency pulse generator. The pulse generators are attachable to the exterior of the index cover, and can be retrofitted or changed without opening the index. They also have sealing capability to visually detect tampering.

Model Description

10. IN-S10  8' cable
    
11. IN-S11  1 connector
    
12. IN-S12  2 connectors
    

All models include 2 independent switches and a tamper circuit. Pulse value is 10 acf (0.28 x am3) for all meter sizes.

IN-S11 and IN-S12 come with mating connector, no cable included.

Gaskets, Strainers, Bolts
Gaskets and bolts are necessary for mounting a meter in the gas line. Gaskets and strainers are high quality Garlock® BLUE-GARD® Style 3000, and Grade 5 bolts are Xylan® coated for increased corrosion resistance and reduced friction. Gasket strainers are an effective way to to protect the meter and downstream equipment from weld slag and other debris in the gas system.
