Introduction

The SB-100 meter is the standard product for Bennett Dispensers. It can drive mechanical and electronic computers at any flow used in a basic gasoline dispenser. The SB-100 meter is a precision device built to maintain .3% accuracy for flow rates from 1.5 GPM (5 LPM) to 26 GPM (100 LPM). The SB-100 is a volumetric meter employing four pistons with seals and associated chambers. During the first year of use, the SB-100 meter's calibration should be checked upon installation, after 90 days and after 180 days in order to insure accurate measurement. After the break-in period, semi-annual calibration checks are all that is required. It is a compact, lightweight unit built with the following main objectives:

• Excellent accuracy over a wide range of flows • Approvals: USA - Weights & Measures, Underwriters Laboratories Canada - Weights & Measures, CSA

Europe - OIML (International Organization for Legal Metrology) as a component in an approved system

• Very good durability of performance and life up to 2 million gallons (7,500,000 liters) under laboratory conditions

• Flexible mounting capability for layout in the dispenser: several product outlet positions • Minimal numbers of internal components to assemble or repair • Concept takes care of potential requirements for a meter:

• Adaptable to temperature compensation system • Electronic calibration available • Compatible with alternate fuels with up to 15% additives. Models available for

higher fuel blends, contact factory for details.

The positive displacement meter uses the general principle of four horizontal, single effect pistons equipped with "cup seals" moving in stainless steel sleeved cylinders and driving a vertical crankshaft. The crankshaft also of stainless steel is fitted with stainless steel connecting rod rollers and self lubricated bearings throughout for minimum friction and maximum corrosion resistance. The patented SB-100 meter, patent number 5094106, is compatible with the Bennett T-75 Pumping Unit and is used in all of our electronic and mechanical dispensers sold worldwide and offers advanced features. At Bennett we consider the meter the key to accurate product measurement and the fundamental source of information for the marketer’s inventory systems. The SB-100 is designed to provide years of accurate and reliable service starting with the first liter!

The meter body (1) is cast aluminum with a gasketed flange at the base for rigid mounting with other components using four to six screws. The cylinder covers (2,3) are also cast aluminum with an O-ring seal and each is secured to the body by four screws. The calibrator cover (3) has a threaded shaft extending through it that limits the piston stroke to effect calibration. The shaft is sealed with an O-ring (NOTE: Electronic calibration meters do not have the calibrator cover (3).

Fastened to the top of the meter body is a cast aluminum collector housing (4), which can be assembled in several outlet positions. An O-ring and four screws make the seal and connection. Extending through the top of the collector is the output of the crankshaft which is sealed against leakage by a lip seal (5) held in place by a retainer (6) and three screws. (Refer to Figure for numbers in parenthesis). Mechanical Meter Shown.

Theory of Operation

SB-100 Manual 05/09 6

The meter is a positive displacement, four piston device featuring a rotary distributor valve and "cup seal" pistons. Because of these features the meter shows superior accuracy and repeatability by eliminating internal product slippage. The composition of the "cup seal" piston is such as to provide long life and low calibration drift. The SB-100 Meter features improved linearity allowing the calibration to remain within tolerance from 1.3 gpm (5 Ipm) flow rate to 27 gpm (100 Ipm). Mechanical Calibration has been simplified by placing the calibration dial wheel on the piston cover face, out where it is easily accessible.

The minimum mechanical calibration adjustment is 0.05%. Currently the standard SB-100 Meter is compatible with methanol/gasoline mixtures to 15% methanol. The SB-100 can be manufactured of materials which are compatible with M85 and 100% methanol. The SB-100 is fully compatible with MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) additives to 15% concentrations. The SB-100 weighs only 10 pounds (4.7 kg) making service, installation and handling very easy. The SB-100 Meter is the result of seven years of product development.

Features and Constructions

SB-100 Manual 05/09 7

Basic Concept The liquid to be measured enters the bottom part of the meter body (1) and pressure seals the rotating distributor (2) down on its mating surface through a diaphragm (3) and a countervalve (3). The pressure differential on the two sides of pistons 1 and 2 pulls the connecting rods (4) and makes the crankshaft (5) turn clockwise (top view). The crankshaft drives the distributor which changes the distribution of liquid; piston 2 and 3 become active, then 3 and 4 and finally 4 and 1 before the cycle starts again.

Each cylinder is closed with cover (6), one of them being fitted with a calibrating device (7 mechanical only) that allows adjustment of the stroke of the corresponding piston to get the exact value of the volume per revolution dispensed by the meter. The crankshaft and connecting rods are supported by self lubricating bearings to minimize the wear and make the moving parts run smoothly. The crankshaft may drive a mechanical computer or an electronic pulser that can be fixed directly to the collector (8) which forms the upper part of the meter.

Accuracy & Calibration

The accompanying Meter Accuracy Curve is typical of the SB-100; 0.3% accuracy from 1.3 gpm (5 lpm) to 27 gpm (100 lpm). Calibration is achieved by adjustment of the dial and screw assembly on the cover attached to cylinder No. 1. A clockwise adjustment decreases delivery while counterclockwise increases delivery. Total adjustment is +/- 15 cubic inches (+/- 240 ml) in minimum increments of 0.05%. Once the meter is adjusted to zero, a pin is inserted through the dial and into the cover and wire sealed through a cross drilled hole in the pin. See Figure 4.
