Introduction
The document provides comprehensive instructions for operating and maintaining the Seraphin® Series K Volumetric Trailer, a mobile system designed for precise volumetric measurements in petroleum applications. It features a stainless steel prover, a pump-off system, and is mounted on a trailer.
Specifications
The system includes a precision volumetric stainless steel prover, a pump-off system, and a manual hose reel with a hose and nozzle for transferring petroleum to storage tanks, all mounted on a trailer.
Operation
For accurate petroleum measurement, refer to the API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards. Essential steps include grounding the trailer, ensuring valves are closed, and inspecting the prover for debris. Consistency in measurements is achieved by filling and draining the prover.
Set-up Procedure
1. Ground the trailer using the provided cable.
2. Ensure all valves are closed and inspect the prover.
Prover Wetting Procedure
Fill the prover to the zero mark, reset the meter, and fill to nominal capacity. Align valves for draining.
Draining Procedures
Two methods are available: gravity drain and pump system. Proper valve alignment and flow observation through the sight glass are necessary.
Testing Procedure
Ground the trailer, select the fill method, connect the dispenser, fill the prover, and record measurements. Compare meter readings to actual volume.
Maintenance
Regular checks for leaks, dents, and operational components are required. Specific maintenance tasks include tire pressure checks, inspection of lights, brakes, axle, and hitching.
Pump Maintenance
Follow safety guidelines, avoid overheating, and ensure the pump is used for appropriate liquids. Regular inspections and adherence to manufacturer guidelines are crucial.
Safety Warnings
Emphasizes the importance of grounding, proper valve operation, and adherence to safety protocols to prevent accidents and ensure accurate measurements.
Installation and Operation Guidelines
Ensure the pump is installed in an accessible location, check lubricants, use well-maintained lifting equipment, and follow safety protocols. Avoid operating the pump against a closed valve and ensure proper ventilation in underground systems.
Terminology
Definitions of key terms such as Bottom Loading, Nominal Capacity, and Vapor Recovery are provided to clarify technical language.
Safety Considerations
Users must establish safety and health practices, comply with regulations, and ensure all electrical connections are explosion-proof.
