Compound meter (AWWA standard)

Meter has a built-in stainless steel strainer.
High flow pass capacity with stable performance
Copper can sealed register
No-lead brass material as optional
Iron cast body as optional

OPERATION: GALONMETER GL-WCB  Bronze Compound Meters utilize a turbine type meter on the main flow line and a proportionately sized meter on the low flow bypass line. A change over valve controls the flow of water through the appropriate measuring device. Before the valve opens, all water flows through the low flow meter. As pressure rises the valve opens, allowing water to flow through both meters. Movement of the   measuring    elements  is transmitted   to   drive  magnets,   which   transmit  the motion     to  driven  magnets    located  within   hermetically   sealed  registers. The magnets are connected to gear trains, which translate the rotations into volume totalizators displayed on the register dial faces.

CONSTRUCTION:  GALONMETER GL-WCB  Bronze   Compound Meters   consist   of  a main   case, 

turbine measuring element, changeover valve housing, main case cover, multi-jet 

type    meter,   and   magnetically    driven  register   assemblies.  The    main   case, 

changeover housing and bypass meter are cast in brass or bronze. The measuring 

element   assembly  includes   the   rotor   assembly,   vertical   shaft   and   a   calibration 

vane which eliminates the need for calibration change gears. The Plastic Register 

Cover   and   Register  Shroud  are  plastic, the  Brass   Register  Cover   and  Register 

Shroud AS OPTION.
