Pressure and temperature ratings are based on a study of the engineering data
for particular materials used in construction and on the design of individual
models. This information is supplemented by destructive test results. Meters with
stainless enclosures must never be operated without shields securely in place.
Meters exposed to difficult environments such as those created by certain
chemicals, excessive vibration or other stress inducing factors could fail at or
below the suggested maximums. Never operate meters above pressure and
temperature maximums. It is strongly recommended that all meter installations
utilize an appropriate pressure relief valve and/or rupture disc. The pressure
settings and locations of these devices should be such that meters cannot be
over pressurized. Meter failure could result in damage to equipment and serious
personal injury. Always use suitable safety gear, including OSHA approved eye
protection when working around meters in service. We are happy to pass along
chemical compatibility information that has been published by the manufacturer's
of raw materials used in our products; however, this information should not be
construed as a recommendation made by King Instrument Company, Inc. for a
specific application.
*Do not use cleaning agents that will damage float, tube or o-rings.
Meters should be cleaned with a mild soap solution. This will be an effective
cleaner of rust stains. Caution must be used so that materials of construction are
not damaged by cleaning solutions. Hard water deposits can be removed with 5%
acetic acid solution (vinegar).
7330 meters that require repair should be sent to the factory. Please call for a
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and return instructions.
-O-rings should be replaced if meter is disassembled after it has been in service.
-Serious property damage and great personal injury could occur as the result of a
meter misused or used in an unsuitable application.
1) Inspect meter for damage that may have occurred during shipping.
Report any damage to the container to the freight carrier immediately.
This is important information. Read it carefully
before beginning work.
2) Make sure your pressure, temperature, fluid and other
requirements are compatible with the meter including o-rings.
3) Select a suitable location for installation to prevent excess stress
on the meter which may result from:
a) Misaligned pipe.
b) The weight of related plumbing.
c) "Water Hammer" which is most likely to occur when flow is
suddenly stopped as with quick closing solenoid operated valves.
(If necessary, a surge chamber should be installed. This will also be
useful in pressure start-up situations.)
d) Thermal expansion of liquid in a stagnated or valve isolated
system.
e) Instantaneous pressurization which will stress the meter and
could result in tube failure.
NOTE: In closed thermal transfer or cooling systems, install the meter
in the cool side of the line to minimize meter expansion and
contraction and possible fluid leaks at the threaded connections.
4) Handle the meter carefully during installation.
a) Use an appropriate amount of teflon tape on external pipe
threads before making connections. Do not use paste or stick type
thread sealing products.
5) Install the meter vertically with the inlet port at the bottom.

-7330 meters are not oxygen cleaned. Use with incompatible fluids may cause
o-rings to swell and break.
6) Meters with plastic fittings must be installed so that fittings are not
made to support any part of the associated plumbing. In addition,
meter frame should be fastened to bulkhead, panel or column.
7) Meters used in gas service should have suitable valves plumbed in
at the inlet and outlet of the meter. These valves should be no more
than 1-1/2 pipe diameters from the meter ports. The valve at the
outlet should be used to create back pressure as required to prevent
float bounce. It should be set initially and then left alone. The inlet
valve should be used for throttling purposes. Depending on the
installation, valves may not be essential, but they are most useful in
many installations. Remember: To get a correct reading of flow in gas
service, it is necessary to know the pressure right at the outlet of the
meter (before the valve).
8) Pressure and temperature maximums must never be exceeded.
Carefully remove the flowmeter from piping system. Loosen and remove the
outlet union nut and remove the outlet end fitting. Withdraw the float (and guide
rod assembly where applicable) from the top. All necessary instrument
components are now fully accessible for cleaning with an appropriate mild soap
solution*. Before the meter is reassembled, inspect all parts for damage. O-rings
should be replaced during meter maintenance and cleaning.
To reassemble, carefully guide the float (and guide rod assembly where
applicable) back into the tube. Reinstall the outlet end fitting and outlet union nut
and tighten the union nut. Reinstall the instrument into the plumbing system after
removing the old teflon tape (with a wire brush) and replacing with fresh teflon
tape.
