RED SEAL MEASUREMENT
HOME OF LIQUID MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS
Neptune brand positive displacement flowmeters, trusted since 1892
in critical industrial processes and all stages of petroleum and LPG
custody transfer, have an established reputation for accuracy and
dependability
NEW EXTENDED WARRANTYON ALL NEPTUNE PD METERS
Red Seal Measurement is proud to offer the Neptune product line. Because we’re confident that our meters are the best in the business, we’re extending the warranty on all of our positive displacement meters to three years from the date of installation (or 42 months from date of shipment).
There are no restrictions on quantity or configuration, and no requirement to buy additional components. We value the trust you’ve placed in our products. Let Neptune meters repay that trust with the peace of mind that guaranteed quality can provide.

TECHNOLOGIES USED BY COMPETITORS
Blocking Rotor
Oval Gear
BLOCKING ROTOR - DISADVANTAGES
» 13 moving parts
» A new base meter is required to replace measuring element
» Remove meter from line to rebuild
» Complicated internal construction with timing gears
» Special tools required
» High pressures can cause product slippage
OVAL GEAR - DISADVANTAGES
» 2 moving gears with two bearings each
» Gears in contact with each other and subject to wear
» Plastic gears wear faster, which lead to damage sooner
» Tight tolerances between gears make meter very susceptible to foreign material, which can cause immediate lockup or gear damage
METERING TECHNOLOGIES USED IN RSM METERS
» Nutating Disc» Oscillating Piston» Coriolis Mass Flow
NUTATING DISC
» Proven accurate and reliable for over a century
» Unaffected by viscosity of flow profile disturbances
» Tolerant of suspended solids that can stall other meter types
» Withstands pressure up to 150 psi and temperature to 250° F
» Works with mechanical or electronic register
OSCILLATING PISTON
» 2 moving parts» Positive displacement meter» Hydraulically floating piston does not
contact the chamber surfaces during operation
» Easily serviceable because its simple construction requires no special knowledge or tools
» Tested under field conditions to optimize design
» Dual case design
OSCILLATING PISTON (CONTINUED)
» Measuring element is replaceable and doesn’t require the meter to be removed from line» Components undergo strengthening treatment to increase durability» Tolerant of low viscosity, abrasive, non-lubricating compressed gas» Nituff coating reduces friction and protects from particulate damage» Works with mechanical and electronic registers
HOW AN OSCILLATING PISTON WORKS
Capillary action maintains seal of
liquid between piston and chamber wall
Groove in skirt bottom retains cushion of liquid to lift piston
Inlet pressure lifts piston, reducing drag
Profiles in the piston top break surface tension to reduce
drag
Hydraulically floating piston does not contact the chamber surfaces
during operation
MEASURING CHAMBER
All components – piston skirt and top, wall cover and floor –
have pressure relief ports
Relationship between piston spindle, roller and diaphragm
prevents contact between skirt and chamber wall
Roller and diaphragm are the only wear
parts
CORIOLIS MASS FLOW METERS
> First introduced in 1978, they are an established technology in process industries.
> Highly accurate flowmeter technology
> Direct mass measurement
> Increased efficiency
> They reduce• Lost product• Lost time• Lost money
WHY MEASURE MASS?
> Volume varies with temperature> Mass is a primary measurement and remains the same
Mass Flowmeter Components
Measurement Coils
Flow Divider
Tubes Drive Coil
CORIOLIS MASS FLOW METER
With no liquid flowing, the drive coil causes the tubes to vibrate parallel to each other (in phase).
MASS FLOW OPERATION
Product flow causes the ends of the tubes to vibrate out of phase. The sensor coils measure this phase difference, allowing calculation of mass.
MASS FLOW OPERATION
MEASUREMENTS AVAILABLE FROM CORIOLIS METERS
The following values may also be obtained from the meter or calculated from other values
» Density
» Fluid Temperature
» Net Volume
» Specific Gravity
» Gross Volume (mass/density)
ACCURATE & CONSISTENT TECHNOLOGY
% Flow Rate
% Error
+/- 0.1% @ 10:1
Holds accuracy to lower flow rates (for meter size) than other metering technologies - less unmetered product
