AWWA C700-09 Cold-Water Meters--Displacement Type, Bronze Main Case (PDF)
SKU: STC_0070925-PDF
This standard describes the various types and classes of cold-water displacement meters with bronze main cases, in sizes 1/2 in. (13 mm) through 2 in. (50 mm), and the materials and workmanship employed in their fabrication. The displacement meters described, known as nutating-disc or oscillating-piston meters, are positive in action because the pistons and discs displace or carry over a fixed quantity of water for each nutation or oscillation when operated under positive pressure.
