  • Patent number: 8082784
    Abstract: An assembly for use in a rotary positive displacement fluid meter having an inner body wall surface that includes a first impeller having an outer surface located within the rotary positive displacement fluid meter and adapted to be directly driven by a fluid flow. The assembly also includes a flexible edge member situated at a distal end of the impeller such that there is a clearance between the flexible edge member and the inner body wall of the rotary positive displacement fluid meter. The impeller defines a longitudinal axis and the flexible edge member has a length along the longitudinal axis and a width in a direction that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6453721
    Abstract: A air meter calibration testing device for testing temperature compensators, comprises a vortex cooling tube, a cold air chamber, a hot air chamber, a bleed valve, a motorized drive system and a compressed air regulator. The vortex tube converts compressed air from the regulator into distinct cold and hot waste air streams. The cold stream is provided to the cold air chamber and the hot stream is provided to the hot air chamber. The regulator is used to adjust the pressure of the compressed air supplied to the vortex tube and accordingly to adjust the temperature in the cold air chamber. The bleed valve is coupled to the hot air outlet of the vortex tube and is used to adjust the air flow of the hot air stream into the hot chamber and accordingly the temperature in the hot air chamber. The motorized drive system is adapted to provide volumetric input to the temperature compensator by actuating the drive shaft of the temperature compensator to simulate connection to a air meter.
