Custom Fabrication
WeamcoMetric Strainers
WeamcoMetric (The First Name in Strainers) has been manufacturing dependable high quality
Permanent and Temporary Strainers since 1973. Industries such as Pipelines, Hydrocarbon,
Chemical, Power, Gas, Pulp & Paper, Process Plants, and Refineries all over the world have
come to depend on WeamcoMetrics impeccable service, quality and dependability.
At WeamcoMetric all engineering, design, manufacturing, testing and painting of our
fabricated Strainers is started and completed in house at our Sapulpa, Oklahoma plant.
This provides us with a major advantage in the areas of quality control and scheduling.
We believe in a hands-on approach to detail and accountability for your work.
STRAINERS
A. Strainer Definition and Purpose
Strainers are used normally for the protection of pipeline and process equipment installed downstream
of the strainer. The equipment protected by our strainers is generally more expensive than the total
installation cost of a strainer. Also this equipment is critical to the pipeline or process operation.
Strainers use perforated and/or wire mesh media for straining purposes. These materials are two
dimensional, meaning they do not have a Depth or Dirt Holding capacity. This means that when
a debris particle is caught in the straining media the opening is blocked or plugged. This results in
reduced available opening for flow. Strainer sizing and selection are critical to insure your cleaning
cycle time, particle size retention and pressure drop requirements are achieved.
B. Straining Media Selection for Basket
The following is a general guideline of media we have typically seen used in the various applications
shown, but is in no way intended to supercede your specific requirements. This information is strictly
based on observations made from our many years of experience and WeamcoMetric makes no
guarantees that it is correct and/or applicable for your specific application.

Example: A 6 line flowing 1,000 G.P.M. liquid with a specific gravity of 0.6.
To find the pressure drop, enter the chart at 1,000 G.P.M. and intersect the
line representing a 6 FV, and FT strainer. Read to the left for each type of
fabricated strainer to intersection of S.G. = 1.0. Follow diagonal guide lines
down to S.G. = 0.6. Read straight to the left for the corrected pressure
drop. In the example the FV strainer would have a pressure drop of 0.65
P.S.I., the FT 0.45 P.S.I. The strainer selection would depend upon piping
configuration and allowable pressure drop.

CONVENTIONAL LIQUID
METER PROVERS DESIGN
AND CONSTRUCTION
I.
Meter Prover Definition

Liquid Flow Provers are defined as a Known Traceable Volume which is used
to verify and establish a meter factor during actual flowing and operating conditions.
(Traceable to NIST)
II.
Types of Conventional Meter Provers

A) Bidirectional Prover (pipe prover): A positive displacement type prover with
flow and displacer traveling in both directions by means of a 4-way diverter valve.
B) Unidirectional Prover (pipe prover): A positive displacement type prover
with flow and displacer traveling always in one direction, by means of a transfer
chamber, or interchange.
C) Volumetric Tank Prover: As the name implies, this prover is a calibrated tank
or vessel with a sight glass and scale to read a metered volume.
The flow must be stopped to determine the volume.
III. Operating Principle of a Positive Displacement Meter Prover

A bidirectional prover will be used as the example for most items.
(Please see the drawing on page 8)
A) To prove a meter, flow is established though the meter, then downstream to the
prover via the prover manifold valves.
B) Flow goes into the 4-way diverter valve and forces a sphere displacer into the
pipe section, which seals against the pipe walls.

C) The displacer passes between two detector switches. The volume between
switches is known as the calibrated volume. This volume is compared to
the volume indicated by the meter, to determine a meter factor. The volumes are
corrected for Pressure and Temperature.
Meter Factor = Actual Volume (Prover)
Metered Volume (Meter)
IV.
Design of Meter Provers

A) Parameters Required for Prover Design
1) Service
a) Products
b) Pressure and temperature
c) Gravity
d) Viscosity
e) Maximum & Minimum Flow Rate
2) Meter(s) to be proved
a) Minimum pulses per unit volume, or K factor
(e.g., 1000 pulses per BBL).
3) Design Specifications and Codes
a) ASME/ANSI B31.4 Pipeline (mechanical design)
b) ASME/ANSI B31.3 Refinery (mechanical design)
c) Material Specifications
d) Electrical Classification
e) ANSI Pressure Rating
f) Space Limitations
g) Automation
h) Prover configuration, (e.g., aboveground, portable, etc.)
API Chapter 4 Proving Systems, Section 2 Conventional Displacement Type Pipe
Provers, is the industry standard for prover design, Section 9 Part 1 & 2
(calibration), and recommended practices.
Page 2
Rev. 1/12
B) Sizing and Volume Requirements

1) Prover sizing (pipe diameter)is first determined by Maximum and Minimum
Sphere Velocities
Maximum:
Unidirectional - 10 ft/sec.
Bidirectional - 5 ft/sec. or higher.
Minimum:
depends on lubricating properties of the product -low velocities may cause sphere to jerk or surge
Recommend 1.0 ft/sec. min.
See API Chapter 4, Paragraph 4.3.4.1

2) Prover volume (Pipe Length) is determined by:
a) API specifies the accumulation of 10,000 unaltered meter pulses
between detector switches.
b) Meter K Factor (or pulses per unit volume).
c) Repeatability of the detector switches and system.
d) Use of Double Chronometry to allow design of Reduced Volume or
Small Volume Provers
A prover must be capable of repeating the volume between detector switches by

0.02 percent. (By Water-Draw Calibration)
Prover sizing and Volume must be considered with other factors to have a
Realistic Prover Design, e.g.:
Space Available
Costs
Meter Selection or number of Meters and Pulses Transmitted
Product service
Etc.
Page 3
Rev. 1/12
C) Pre-Run Length
A prover must have a sufficient pre-run length from the launch chamber
reducer to the first detector switch to allow the 4-way diverter valve to
cycle completely and seal properly before the displacer triggers the first
detector switch. Also allowing the displacer to reach uniform velocity.
V.
Prover Construction and Components

A) Pipe: Pipe should be free of defects, dents, scratches or rust pits. Pipe
should be hand-picked for uniformity and roundness.
B) Flange Seats: Flanges in the calibrated section are match-bored,
machined with O-Ring grooves for sealing, and dowel-pinned.
C) Launch Chambers: The pipe section prior to the pre-run and calibrated
section is used to launch and receive the sphere. Launch chambers should
be two pipe sizes larger to allow flow by-pass around the sphere and allow
the sphere to decelerate. Also allowing easy sphere removal with the use
of quick opening closures. Launch chambers can be horizontal, vertical, or
inclined. Chambers should include internal Ramps or Stops depending on
design configuration.
D) Sphere and Accessories: Inflatable sphere displacers are the most
common used. The sphere is normally inflated from 2% to 4% larger
than the prover pipe inside diameter. The sphere is filled with 50/50
mix of glycol and water. Proper inflation and roundness are vital for
sealing and repeatability.
Sphere Materials Available:
1) Neoprene
2) Nitrile
3) Urethane
(most commonly
used and can be
purchased in various
durometers)
Sphere accessories:
Removal Tools
Pumps
Inflating Kits
Sizing Rings
Page 4
Rev. 1/12
E) Detector Switches: Detector Switches are used to gate the pulse

counter or flow computer. Detector switch repeatability is crucial in
determining the prover volume and in turn proving a meter.
The most common switch is a Mechanical Actuated Electrical
type, such as our Mag-Tek M-6, which has a plunger inserted into
the pipe. The sphere passes under the plunger to raise and make
the switch or contact. These switches are all pressure balanced so
pressure forces are not a factor.
F) Diverter Valve: Bidirectional provers utilize a 4-way diverter valve.
This valve is ported to allow flow to enter one launch chamber and
exit the opposite, and by cycling the valve the flow direction is
reversed. All 4-way valves are designed for speed and seat seal
integrity. Valves should be equipped with a means of checking the
seal for leakage (e.g., Block and Bleed Port, DP Gauge or Switch).
Note: These valves only divert and do not "block" the prover pressure.
G) Diverter Valve Operator: Most diverter valves are equipped with
actuators to automate the prover operation. These can be electrical
or hydraulic. Electric operators are the most commonly used.
All operators are to be self-locking.
H) Internal Coatings: Internal coatings are applied to the prover for two
main purposes:
1) Protect the pipe from
corrosion and pitting
which can cause
repeatability problems.
2) Provide a smooth uniform
surface for the sphere to
travel in, and ensure a good
seal with stable movement without surges or jerks.
Common Types of Coating:
1) Air-Dried Epoxy
2) Baked-On Phenolic
3) None Bare (crude service)

8) Field Calibration
Connections
9) Sphere by-pass for Vertical
or Inclined Launch Chambers
10) Skid Mounted
WeamcoMetric always specifies and uses good quality Accessories and
Trim equipment.
VII. Calibration
Prior to placing a prover into service, a Base Prover Volume must be
determined. This is done by a water-draw calibration as outlined in
API Chapter 4, Section 9, as previously mentioned, and calculations per
API Chapter 12, Section 2, Part 4. The calibration also verifies that all
components are sealing properly and are in working condition. In
particular the 4-Way diverter valve. The calibration is completed using
field measures, thermometers, and gauges that are traceable to NIST,
per API Chapter 4.7.
Page 6
Rev. 1/12
VIII. Summary
Conventional displacement type pipe provers are the most commonly
used and accepted method of meter proving. Care of details in design
construction, and calibration are essential to the proper functioning of
a complete measurement system.

MAG-TEK
Model M-6T Sphere Detector Switch For
Non-Lubricated and/or Dirty Service
Safe! Reliable!
Mag-Tek!
With interlocking
element housing
design.
The Mag-Tek M-6T Sphere Detector Switch is

designed specifically for product service with
non-lubricating properties and dirty services
containing abrasives such as rust and other
foreign particles.
The M-6T has a unique pressure-balanced piston

design that has a washing action to keep foreign
particles away from the switch area.
The Model M-6T is designed with two Teflon O-Rings located in the housing. These act
as guides for the piston while preventing foreign particles such as rust to gall the piston
surface during actuation. The piston has center drilled pressure equalization ports which

MAG-TEK SPHERE
DETECTOR SWITCHES
Trouble Shooting
Due to the limited number of moving parts, problems with the
Mag-Tek detector switch are few. The most common problems
can be attributed to one of the following:
1.
Switch damage - the switch may have been damaged by

excessive electrical currents, or by dropping the switch. To
check, remove the switch from the base, connect it to a
volt/ohm meter and slide the piston into the lower portion
of the switch. The switch should close and open as the
piston is moved into and out of the switch. If it does not
function properly, a replacement element is required.
2.
No indication - The sphere is not contacting the piston

properly. Measure the O.D. of the scraper cup or sphere to
be certain they are the proper diameter.
3.
No indication - Foreign material has accumulated above

the piston in the sensing chamber preventing the piston
from traveling upward. Remove the switch and clean the
base of the switch and the spring. Check the bleed
grooves in the piston to be sure they are clear.
4.
Switch is clean and checks out OK, the switch is sized

properly, but the switch is intermittent or still does not
function properly - misalignment of the base and hole causing
the piston to bind or preventing it from extending into the pipe
ID Recheck the base fit and probe insertion depth.
Recommended Spare Parts

Due to the simplicity of the switch, once it is installed the
detector can operate indefinitely without the need for spare parts.

design.
The Mag-Tek M-5T Sphere Detector Switch is

designed specifically for product service with
non-lubricating properties and dirty services
containing abrasives such as rust and other
foreign particles.
The M-5T has a unique pressure-balanced piston

design that has a washing action to keep foreign
particles away from the switch area.
The Model M-5T is designed with two Teflon O-Rings located in the housing. These act
as guides for the piston while preventing foreign particles such as rust to gall the piston
surface during actuation. The piston has center drilled pressure equalization ports which
stabilize operation and create a washing action throughout the switch area thus keeping
foreign particles flushed out. This unique flow/suction action keeps the piston-to-switch
area clean which is a valuable asset in non-lubricated and dirty service applications.
With time tested technology, Mag-Tek assures you years of reliable

maintenance free service.

Vapor Tight Sampler

To determine the exact time of interface in
pipeline operations.
A fluid sample from the pipeline flows continuously
through the sampler jars. The fluid enters the system
past a thermometer giving the operating temperature.
Fluid is then allowed to enter the hydrometer jars
through the individual inlet valves filling the jar to the
overflow level floating the hydrometer. The overflow
goes to drain. Each jar has a dump valve separate from
the overflow. By observing the specific gravity change
the exact time of product interface can be observed.
