(Specification)Standard Specification for Fuel Oil Meters of the Volumetric Positive Displacement Type
Standard Specification for Fuel Oil Meters of the Volumetric Positive Displacement Type
ABSTRACT
This specification provides the minimum requirements for the design, fabrication, pressure rating, marking, and testing for fuel oil meters (volumetric positive displacement type). The components of the meter shall be the following: housing, measuring chamber, adjusting device, direction marker, and register. Meter properties such as capacity, pressure drop, normal flow error, and maintainability shall be determined. Meters shall have all burrs or sharp edges removed and shall be cleaned of all loose metal chips and other foreign substances. A representative fuel oil meter shall undergo calibration and adjustment and hydrostatic test.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification provides the minimum requirements for the design, fabrication, pressure rating, marking, and testing for fuel oil meters (volumetric positive displacement type).
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method section of this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

6.1.1 The meter shall consist of a housing with measuring mechanism and a register with counter mechanism.
6.1.1.1 Measuring Chamber—The measuring chamber for all meters shall be so constructed as not to show distortion under
maximum allowable working pressure in any manner, or to affect the sensitivity of the meter.
6.1.1.2 Adjusting Device—The meter shall be provided with an adjusting device for changing the registered quantity to attain
desired calibration. The adjustment setting shall have provisions for locking and shall not change during the meter life except by
manual readjustment. The adjusting device shall be noncyclical and shall permit adjustment without disassembly of the mechanism
except for removal of adjusting device cover plate. The plate shall be sealed by means of a lead seal. The meter shall be capable
of calibration adjustment over a minimum range of 5 %.

6.1.1.4 Register—The register shall be of the direct-reading type. The register shall have a nonsetback total indicator and a
setback-type run indicator, so that individual runs can be registered without affecting the total of all runs, as shown on the total
indicator. The total indicator shall have a minimum of eight figures, and the setback run indicator shall have a minimum of five
figures. Reset digits shall have a minimum height of ⁄2 in. (13 mm) and shall not be coated with fluorescent paint. The indicating
