Description
Air separator filter for Tcs Positive Displacement Flow meter
The Air Separator Filter is an essential auxiliary component designed to protect your TCS Positive Displacement (PD) Flow meter from damage and ensure long-term, precise measurement. By combining filtration and air separation in a single unit, this device safeguards the meter's internal precision gears from harmful particulates and destructive air bubbles, which can cause significant wear and measurement inaccuracies.
Key Benefits:
-
Enhanced Meter Protection: Prevents abrasive particles from entering the meter's tight-clearance measuring chamber.
-
Improved Measurement Accuracy: Effectively separates and vents entrained air from the liquid stream, ensuring only single-phase fluid is measured.
-
Extended Service Life: Reduces mechanical stress on the meter, minimizing maintenance needs and downtime.
-
Optimized Performance: Maintains the factory-calibrated accuracy of your TCS flow meter across its entire operational range.
Selecting the Correct Screen Mesh is Critical
The optimal performance of the air separator filter depends entirely on selecting the appropriate screen mesh, which is determined by the product being measured and its viscosity at the intended operating temperature. Using an incorrectly sized mesh can lead to excessive pressure drop or inadequate filtration.
| Mesh Size | Recommended Applications |
| 200 Mesh | Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) only. |
| 100 Mesh | Gasoline, Solvents, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). |
| 80 Mesh | Gasoline, Solvents. |
| 40 Mesh | Heating Oil, Diesel Fuel, Light Oils. |
| 20 Mesh | Engine Oils and other viscous products. |
Integrating the correct Air Separator Filter is a simple yet highly effective strategy to maximize the reliability and accuracy of your TCS Positive Displacement Flow Meter. By ensuring clean, air-free fluid passes through the meter, you protect your capital investment and guarantee the integrity of your custody transfer, process control, or fuel management operations.
