Gas Metering PT-7

The document describes the operating principles of an AAT flow meter. It has three key principles: 1) It can adjust its volume measurement up to 110% of the initial calibration reading if the flow rate changes up to 10%, 2) It has a basic adjustment principle where changes in the retarding torque on the main rotor causes the sensing rotor to adjust proportionally, and 3) It has a self-checking feature that compares the field adjustment to the factory adjustment to check for any change in accuracy.

 Self-Checking Feature
Self-Adjusting Principle

Assume main rotor slows by


2% due to increase in drag Field condition w/
Factory
Results in an increase in exit Calibration

MR Vol. - SR Vol. = Adj.Vol.
108% - 8% = 100%

Self-Checking Principle

Amount Field Factory


of Change = Adjustment - Adjustment

DA = Change in mechanical output accuracy from original calibration (Delta A)


A = Average amount of adjustment at factory calibration (A-Bar)

 Vm = Pm/Km  Vs = Ps/Ks
Pm = Pulses from main rotor Ps = Pulse from sensing rotor
Km = MR factor (pulse/ft3) Ks = SR factor (pulse/ft3)
Self-Checking Example -
2% Main Rotor Slowdown

Amount of Change = Field Adjustment - Factory Adjustment
