1. ROMME Limited NSTALLATIONS amp MIUNTENANC BULLETIN RM IMPERIAL amp METRIC INTRODUCTION The Romet rotary meter is suitable for the measurement of most clean dry gases The installation of an upstream filter or at the very least a 200 mesh strai ner e g Romet Tee Screen will protect the meter from contaminants in the gas stream and permit accurate measurement The meter is not suitable for the measurement of liquids Consult the factory if any co rrosive gases i e sour or sewer gases are present since these gases may have adverse effects on the mete r Meters specifically constructed for these applications are available The maximum allowable operating pressure MAOP of 175 psig or 12 bar and flow rating Qmax for each meter is indicated on the serial plate and should not be exceeded Although ruggedly constructed the Romet meter is a precision measuring instrument 1 0 Pre installation 1 1 Inspect the meter for any damage which may have occurred during transportation and handling Consult the factory if the meter has been damaged 1 2 Remove the sealing plugs or caps from the inlet and outlet port of the meter 1 3 Ensure that all foreign material and scale hav e been removed from the meter station piping and that the mounting flanges are the correct distance F apart aligned with each other and level maximum of 1 16 per foot or 5mm per meter in all directions INLET Meter Model F RM1000 RM5000 6 15 16
