AWWA C710-09 Cold-Water Meters--Displacement Type, Plastic Main Case (PDF)

This standard describes the various types and classes of cold-water displacement meters with plastic main cases, in sizes 1/2 in. (13 mm) through 1 in. (25 mm), for water utility customer service, 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.
