Title: American Meter Workshop
Author: Gerald Christensen Charles Wolverton
Source: 1971 Western Gas Measurement Short Course
Year Published: 1971
Abstract: The purpose of this workshop presentation was to review the theory and design features of the American CVM meter, Turbine meter, and continuous integrating base pressure and base volume indexes and to discuss field experience with these new devices. The CVM meter is a rotating vane displacement meter. Four freely rotating vanes displace gas in an annular measuring chamber formed by two concentric cylinders. A gate driven by the rotating vanes by means of non-critica1 timing gears rotates in the same direction and permits the vanes to pass from the outlet to the inlet of the meter without allowing gas to pass unmeasured from inlet to outlet. By means of a magnetic stuffing box and appropriate gearing the vane rotations are transmitted to the meter index.
