-
A. Strainer Definition and Purpose
Strainers are used normally for the protection of pipeline and petroleum process equipment installeddownstream of the strainer. The equipment protected by our strainers is generally more expensive thanthe total installation cost of a strainer. Also this equipment is critical to the pipeline or process operation.
Strainers use perforated and/or wire mesh media for straining purposes. These materials are twodimensional, meaning they do not have a Depth or Dirt Holding capacity. This means that whena debris particle is caught in the straining media the opening is blocked or plugged. This results inreduced available opening for flow. Strainer sizing and selection are critical to insure your cleaningcycle time, particle size retention and pressure drop requirements are achieved.
B. Straining Media Selection for Basket
The following is a general guideline of media we have typically seen used in the various applicationsshown, but is in no way intended to supercede your specific requirements. This information is strictlybased on observations made from our many years of experience and WeamcoMetric makes no guarantees that it is correct and/or applicable for your specific application.

WeamcoMetric Provers
In most cases, accurate measurement of your valuable liquids is a vital process of your every-
day business. WeamcoMetric has been helping companies successfully accomplish this for
many years. With innovative designs, detailed engineering, high quality manufacturing and on
time deliveries, WeamcoMetric has stayed at the forefront of a demanding industry. With an
excellent knowledge of the latest technology, coupled with a vast amount of experience, you
can rest assured you came to the right place for your measurement needs.
WeamcoMetric manufactures several types and configurations of Conventional Meter Provers.
The Positive Displacement Pipe Meter Prover is by far the most widely used and most reliable
on the market today. The Pipe Provers have a Known Traceable Volume which is compared
to the actual meter output. These two figures are used to determine what is known as a meter
factor. By applying the meter factor to the meter output, you correct for the meters inaccuracy,
which results in a very precise measurement. This is a valuable resource in areas such as
custody transfer and fiscal measurement.
WeamcoMetric recommends highly to our customers that all Provers be manufactured with the
highest quality materials and equipment available. This insures the end user years of reliable
low maintenance operation that results in increased money savings while reducing labor costs
and operator error.
WeamcoMetric Provers are in service all over the world in a variety of applications and
industries. These include, pipeline metering terminals, hydrocarbon and chemical processing,
refineries and petrochemical plants, tanker and barge loading facilities and metering liquid
fuels for power plants.
The following pages offer more specific information and photos of our design and
manufacturing capabilities. Please feel free to contact our staff at your convenience for
assistance in anyway with your measurement needs.
-
VII. Calibration
Prior to placing a prover into service, a Base Prover Volume must be determined. This is done by a water-draw calibration as outlined in API Chapter 4, as previously mentioned, and API Chapter 12, Section 2, Part 4. The calibration also verifies that all components are sealing properly and are in working condition. The calibration is completed using field measures, thermometers, and gauges that are traceable to NIST, per API Chapter 4.7.
VIII. Summary
Conventional displacement type pipe provers are the most commonly used and accepted method of meter proving. Care of details in design specifications, construction, and calibration are essential to the proper functioning of a complete measurement system.
IX. Please use our Prover Data Sheet for your Inquiry or Purchase Order. This will allow us to propose a more detailed offering for your application.

I. Meter Prover Definition
Liquid Flow Provers are defined as a Known Traceable Volume which is usedto verify and establish a meter factor during actual flowing and operating conditions. (Traceable to NIST)
II. Types of Conventional Meter Provers
A) Bidirectional Prover (pipe prover): A positive displacement type prover with flow and displacer traveling in both directions by means of a 4-way diverter valve.
B) Unidirectional Prover (pipe prover): A positive displacement type prover with flow and displacer traveling always in one direction, by means of a transferchamber, or interchange.
C) Volumetric Tank Prover: As the name implies, this prover is a calibrated tankor vessel with a sight gauge and scale to read a metered volume.The flow must be stopped to determine the volume.
III. Principle of Operation of a Positive Displacement Meter Prover
We will use bidirectional provers as the example for most items.(Please see the drawing attached)
A) To prove a meter, flow is established though the meter then to the prover viathe prover manifold valves.
B) Flow goes into the 4-way diverter valve and forces a sphere displacer into thepipe section, which seals against the pipe walls.
C) The displacer passes between two detector switches. The volume betweenswitches is known as the calibrated volume. This volume is compared tothe volume indicated by the meter, to determine a meter factor.
Meter Factor = Actual Volume (Prover)Metered Volume (Meter)

2) Meter(s) to be proveda) Minimum pulses per unit volume, or K factor
(e.g., 1000 pulses per BBL).
3) Design Specifications and Codesa) ASME/ANSI B31.4 Pipeline (mechanical design)b) ASME/ANSI B31.3 Refinery (mechanical design)c) Material Specificationsd) Electrical Classificatione) ANSI Pressure Ratingf) Space Limitationsg) Automationh) Prover configuration, (e.g., aboveground, portable, etc.)
API Chapter 4 Proving Systems, Section 2 Conventional Displacement Type Pipe Provers, is the industry standard for prover design, calibration, and recommended practices.
B) Sizing and Volume Requirements
1) Prover sizing is determined by Maximum and Minimum Sphere Velocities
Maximum: Unidirectional - 10 ft/sec.Bidirectional - 5 ft/sec. or higher. (see API 4.2)
Minimum: depends on lubricating properties of the product --low velocities may cause sphere to jerk or surge
Recommend 1.0 ft/sec. min.
See API Chapter 4, Paragraph 4.3.4
2) Prover volume is determined by: a) API specifies the accumulation of 10,000 unaltered meter pulses
between detector switches. (see e. below)b) Meter K Factor (or pulses per unit volume).c) Repeatability of the detector switches and system. d) Prover counter resolutione) Use of Double Chromometry to allow use of Reduced Volume Provers
A prover must be capable of repeating the volume between detector switches by 0.02 percent. (By Water-Draw Calibration)
Prover sizing and Volume must be considered with other factors to have a Realistic Prover Design, e.g.:
Space AvailableCostsMeter Selection and Pulses TransmittedProduct serviceEtc.

C) Pre-Run Length
A prover must have a sufficient pre-run length from the launch chamber to the firstdetector switch to allow the 4-way diverter valve to cycle completely and sealproperly before the displacer triggers the first detector switch. Also allowing thedisplacer to reach uniform velocity.
V. Prover Construction and Components
A) Pipe: Pipe should be free of defects, dents, scratches or rust pits. Pipe should be hand-picked for uniformity and roundness.
B) Flange Seats: Flanges in the calibrated section are match-bored, machined with O-Ring grooves for sealing, and dowel-pinned.
C) Launch Chambers: The pipe section prior to the pre-run and calibrated section is used to launch and receive the sphere. Launch chambers should betwo pipe sizes larger to allow flow by-pass around the sphere and allow thesphere to decelerate. Also allowing easy sphere removal with the use of quickopening closures. Launch chambers can be horizontal, vertical, or inclined.
D) Sphere and Accessories: Inflatable sphere displacers are the most common used. The sphere is normally inflated from 2% to 4% larger than the prover pipe inside diameter. The sphere is filled with 50/50 mix of glycol and water. Proper inflation and roundness are vital for sealing and repeatability.
Sphere Materials Available: 1) Neoprene2) Nitile3) Urethane (most commonly used and can be purchased in
various durometers)Sphere Removal ToolsPumps & Inflating KitsSizing Rings
E) Detector Switches: Detector Switches are used to gate the pulse counter.Detector switch repeatability is crucial in determining the prover volumeand in turn proving a meter.
The most common switch is a Mechanical Actuated Electrical type, such as our Mag-Tek M-6, which has a plunger inserted into the pipe. The sphere passesunder the plunger to raise and make the switch or contact. These switches are all pressure balanced so pressure forces are not a factor.

F) Diverter Valve: Bidirectional provers utilize a 4-way diverter valve. This valve is ported to allow flow to enter one launch chamber and exit the opposite, and by cycling the valve the flow direction is reversed. All 4-way valves are designed for speed and seat seal integrity. Valves should be equipped with a means of checking the seal for leakage (e.g., Block and Bleed Port, DP Gauge or Switch).
G) Diverter Valve Operator: Most diverter valves are equipped with actuatorsto automate the prover operation. These can be electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic. Electric operators are the most commonly used. Manualhandwheels, with latching mechanisms, are used on smaller systems.
H) Internal Coatings: Internal coatings are applied to the prover for two main purposes:
1) Protect the pipe from corrosion and pitting which can cause repeatability problems.
2) Provide a smooth uniform surface for the sphere to travel in, and ensure a good seal with stable movement without surges or jerks.
Common Types of Coating: 1) Air-Dried Epoxy2) Baked-On Phenolic3) None Bare (crude service)

Bi-Directional Provers
By far the most commonly used Prover in the industry for many years. The Bi-DirectionalDisplacement Type Pipe Prover has proven itself over and over again as one of the most reliable
means available to verify meter readings and establish meter factors. It is still the most recom-
mended and used Prover design in the world today.
By definition the Bi-Directional Pipe Prover is a positive displacement type prover with flow and
displacer traveling in both directions by means of a 4-way diverter valve. The Bi-Directional Prover
is constructed of pipe, which can be configured in many ways. Probably the most influential
advantage of the Pipe Prover is its ability to allow the full flow of the stream through the meter
being proved to pass through the prover. In this regard the Bi-Directional Pipe Prover offers a
history of long-term reliability with minimum maintenance.

General Information
Mag-Tek features a pressure balanced, piston actuated, proximity
switch with no dynamic seals. The switch is factory sealed, with
no field adjustment, eliminating the chance of slipping from the
original setting. The hemispherical shape of the piston allows
either uni-directional or bi-directional operation. The detector
switch is manufactured from stainless steel and designed for
either above ground or below ground applications. Once
installed the Mag-Tek has only one moving part, the pressure-
balanced piston, thus allowing continuous, maintenance free,
and accurate operation. Mag-Tek switches are also interchange-
able with most other brands of switch mountings.
Installation Instructions
The standard Mag-Tek detector switch is designed for installation
on pipe having a nominal wall thickness of 0.375 inches or less.
If the Mag-Tek is to be used on pipe having a wall thickness
greater than 0.375 inches, be sure to specify when ordering.
1. Select the desired location on the pipe for the Mag-Tek
detector switches. These points are usually, but not
necessarily, on top of the pipe.
2. Drill a 7/8 diameter hole at each point. Care should be
taken to keep the drill bit centered and perpendicular to
the pipe.
3. All drill cuttings should be removed from inside the pipe.
If, due to design, this cannot readily be done with a cloth
or a stream of air, it can usually be done with a small
mechanics extension type, hand-held magnet inserted
through the 7/8 drilled hole.
4. The inside of the drilled hole should be rounded or
chamfered with a file or stone to remove sharp edges.
5. Center the base plate guide-lip in the 7/8 diameter hole
in the pipe, taking care to orient the base plate properly so
that it is level and square with the pipe.
6. With the base plate level and square, lightly tack weld
onto the pipe. Check to be sure the base plate guide lip is
still seated. If so, complete the seal welding with the
required passes. Do not allow weld splatter or arc on the
switch mounting face of the base plate. If Mag-Tek
detector switches are to be installed on a prover after it
has been internally coated, care should be taken to
minimize the weld heat. It is suggested the weld be
cooled from time to time with wet rags or other means.
Filling the prover barrel with water, if practical, prior to
welding, will further minimize damage to the internal coating.
7. Check mounting face to make sure it is free from burrs and
weld splatter. DO NOT PAINT the face of the mounting plate.
8. Mount switch on base with (4) 3/8 cap screws.
Recommended torque 240 inch pounds. Maximum torque
300 inch pounds.
Operation
Once installed the hemispherical portion of the probe extends
into the I.D. of the pipe approximately 3/8. When the sphere
passes the switch, it forces the probe upward. This upward
movement causes the ferrous body of the piston to enter the
magnetic field of the proximity switch sensor. The result of the
attracting forces causes the magnet in the sealed switch to
move toward the ferrous piston causing the normally open
contacts to close and complete the electrical circuit.

Trouble Shooting
Due to the limited number of moving parts, problems with the
Mag-Tek detector switch are few. The most common problems
can be attributed to one of the following:
1. Switch damage - the switch may have been damaged by
excessive electrical currents, or by dropping the switch. To
check, remove the switch from the base, connect it to a
volt/ohm meter and slide the piston into the lower portion
of the switch. The switch should close and open as the
piston is moved into and out of the switch. If it does not
function properly, a replacement element is required.
2. No indication - The sphere is not contacting the piston
properly. Measure the O.D. of the scraper cup or sphere to
be certain they are the proper diameter.
3. No indication - Foreign material has accumulated above
the piston in the sensing chamber preventing the piston
from traveling upward. Remove the switch and clean the
base of the switch and the spring. Check the bleed
grooves in the piston to be sure they are clear.
4. Switch is clean and checks out OK, the switch is sized
properly, but the switch is intermittent or still does not
function properly - misalignment of the base and hole causing
the piston to bind or preventing it from extending into the pipe
ID Recheck the base fit and probe insertion depth.
Recommended Spare Parts
Due to the simplicity of the switch, once it is installed the
detector can operate indefinitely without the need for spare parts.

Installation Instructions
The standard M-6 Mag-Tek detector switch is designed for instal-
lation on pipe having a nominal wall thickness of 0.375 inches
or less. If the Mag-Tek is to be used on pipe having a wall thick-
ness greater than 0.375 inches, be sure to specify when ordering.
1. Select the desired locations on the pipe for the Mag-Tek
detector switches. These points are usually, but not
necessarily, on top of the pipe.
2. Drill a 7/8 diameter hole at each point. Care should be
taken to keep the drill bit centered and perpendicular to
the pipe.
3. All drill cuttings should be removed from inside the pipe.
If, due to design, this cannot readily be done with a cloth

mechanics extension type, hand-held magnet inserted
through the 7/8 drilled hole.
4. The inside of the drilled hole should be rounded or
chamfered with a file or stone to remove sharp edges.
5. Carefully center the base plate over the 7/8 diameter hole
in the pipe, taking care to orient the base plate properly so
that it is level with the pipe. Dimension from face of base
plate to outside of pipe must be 2 3/8. This will leave a
gap of approximately 1/8 for welding. Caution: The
orientation of base plate to pipe is critical for proper
switch operation and any misalignment may cause
switch to malfunction. We stongly recommend the use
of an alignment tool available from the factory.
6. With the base plate positioned as described in paragraph 5
above, lightly tack weld base plate to the pipe. Do the
following checks before proceeding.
A. Base plate is still centered over hole, and level with the pipe.
B. The dimension from face of base plate to pipe still measures
2 3/8
Once all above is confirmed, complete the seal welding with
required passes. Do not allow weld splatter or arc on the
switch mounting face of the base plate. If Mag-Tek detector
switches are to be installed on a prover after it has been
internally coated, care should be taken to minimize the weld
heat. It is suggested the weld be cooled from time to time with
wet rags or other means. Filling the prover barrel with water, if
practical, prior to welding, will help to further minimize
possible damage to the internal coating.
7. Check mounting face to make sure it is free from burrs and
weld splatter. DO NOT PAINT the face of the mounting plate.
8. Mount switch on base with (5) 3/8 cap screws.
