DOUBLE COVERS EXECUTIONS

TYPE BM P.D. METER

 
Data sheet: DS/CO/0005/EN Ed. May 2012

The BM meter series in double covers execution have been

developed as alternative to the double case execution. Double
case is a typical execution for high pressure application used
instead of the single case one. High pressure may modify the
geometry of the meter case (both body and covers)
increasing the internal volume of the meter and changing the
meter accuracy. Double case, instead, has an internal
measuring chamber which volume is not modified by the
pressure because liquids flow internally and externally such
measuring chamber with same pressure on both side.
Body has less implication with high pressure, due to the geometry
and thickness of it. Main components subject to pressure
modification, thus, are the covers, flat one. To increase its
resistance against pressure have to be a different geometry
curved one or, if flat, with an higher thickness.
An alternative solution is the “double covers”.
Meters has, thus, both front and rear covers made of two covers
each, an internal and an external. The internal one allow the
liquid flow on both side of it (through the central hole) and, thus,
internal covers has same pressure inside and outside and, than, its
geometry will be not modified due to high pressure. Its
function is to allow the vanes to rotate and keep the bearings in
position. Due to the central holes the liquids occupies a small
volume between the internal and external covers, in order to
keep the geometry of such internal cover not modified. External
cover has the function to mechanical resist against the liquid
pressure.
Such “double covers” execution has recently superseded the
“double case”, since allow the same performance for pressure
until 40 bar, but with a much easier technical manufacturing of
the meter itself.
