scope:

This standard describes the various types and classes of cold-water displacement meters with bronze main cases, in sizes ¹/₂ in. (13 mm) through 2 in. (50 mm), and the materials and workmanship employed in their fabrication. The displacement meters described, known as nutating-disc or oscillating-piston meters, are positive in action because the pistons and discs displace or carry over a fixed quantity of water for each nutation or oscillation when operated under positive pressure.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to provide the minimum requirements for cold-water meters-displacement type, bronze main case, including materials and design.

Application

This standard can be referenced in specifications for purchasing and receiving cold-water meters-displacement type, bronze main case. This standard can be used as a guide for manufacturing this type of meter. The stipulations of this standard apply when this document has been referenced and only to cold-water meters-displacement type, bronze main case.
