■ GENERAL
This device is an air release valve combined with a
strainer in a single housing and is intended to eliminate air
entrained in the liluid while preventing foreign solids from
getting into the meter, which could present a serious
problem.
By installing this device immediately upstream of the
meter, of as close to the inlet as possible, accurate and
precise flow measurements can be made.

■ GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The fact is that the greater the capacity of an air eliminator,
the greater the air eliminating capability. It is important
that the correct size and type are chosen.
Factors to be taken into consideration in the selection are
(1) application, (2) type of liquid, (3) flow rate, viscosity,
specific gravity, and (4) pressure:
1. Application
Elimination of small quantities of air introduced temporar-
ily during transfer between storage tanks, pumping to
lorries, process control, etc.
2. Liquid to be applied.
* Low viscosity products-gasoline, JP4, kerosene, water,
alcohol, etc. (below 2 mPa•S and having least tendency
to foam)
* High viscosity products-crude oil, light oil, heavy oil,
caustic soda, etc. (products having a tendency to
foam or products above 2 mPa•S) 7. Material:
3. Max. operating pressure: 0.97MPa Body-steel sheet (SS400) or stn. steel (SUS316)
4. Test pressure: 1.46MPa Vent valve-Float; stn. steel (SUS304, SUS316)
5. Max. operating temperature: 110˚C Body; stn. steel (SCS13A)
6. Flange rating: JIS 10K FF (STD.), JIS 10K RF Valve Seat; Teflon
ANSI 150 RF Net -stn. steel (SUS304 60mesh)

To maintain the stated performance of your air eliminator
throughout its service life, observe the following instruc-
tions:
1. Sequence of component installation-Install, from the
inlet side, the air eliminator, strainer, and flowmeter,
in this order.
2. The basic unit must be installed vertically.
3. Air pressure inside the air eliminator must be higher
than the atmospheric pressure to effect venting.
To fill the flowmeter piping system with liquid, pro-
vide a riser pipe downstream of the meter.
A riser head is not necessary in a case where a storage
tank is installed downstream of the meter and its tank
head acts on the air eliminator.
4. Vent tank installation-In the case the vent is open to
the atmosphere, small quantities of petroleum prod-
ucts or vaporized products contained in the discharged
gas are hazardous. From a safety viewpoint, installing
a vent tank to collect the entrained products is sug-
gested. (available upon request).
5. Provide as long a straight pipe section as circum-
stances permit ahead of the air eliminator. Avoid tur-
bulence causing objects in the stream, e.g., partially
open valves. Gate valves are recommended.
6. Control throughput with a valve V2 on the discharge
side of the flowmeter.
7. When handling fluids which must be heated to pre-
vent solidification, throttle the flow through valve V2
to maintain the temperature in the air eliminator
above the melting point of the fluid.

The specification as of Feb., 2001 is stated in this GS Sheet. Specifications and design are subject to change without notice.
