The ROOTS® Meter Operating Principle
The ROOTS® meter is designed to measure the volume of gases and gas mixtures with a high degree of accuracy.
The industry accepted rotary type positive displacement operating principle ensures permanent, non-adjustable
accuracy by using precision machined two-lobe impellers encased within a rigid measuring chamber.
Unlike other meter types, measurement accuracy is not affected by changes in gas specific gravity, pressure, or
fluctuating flow. ROOTS® meters may be used from a few ounces to full capacity up of the meter’s maximum
pressure rating with highly accurate measurement over a wide operating range. This equates to a lower total cost.
The condition of a ROOTS® rotary meter can be verified by performing a differential pressure test while the meter
is still in service. This simple and cost-effective preventive maintenance procedure contributes to a significant
reduction in the whole life cost of the meter.

Precision machined for exceptional accuracy

As shown in the picture, two contra-rotating impellers of two-lobe or “figure 8” design are encased within a rigid
measuring chamber, with inlet and outlet connections on opposite sides. Precision machined timing gears keep the
impellers in correct relative position. Optimal operating clearances between the impellers, cylinder and headplates
provide a continuous, non-contacting seal.

ROOTS® Meter Product Line

A complete line of rotary meter sizes are available to measure a wide range of gas volumes for the majority of
commercial and industrial applications in custody transfer applications. Refer to the Meter Sizing Chart in this
brochure to determine the correct meter size for cost effectiveness and accurate measurement.
ROOTS® meters are suitable for handling most types of clean, common gases at either constant or varying flow
rates and pressure. They are ideal for applications throughout the meter’s operating range, from a few ounces to
full maximum allowable operating pressure.
Our meters are widely recognized for their highly accurate measurement capabilities at both the low and high end
of their rated capacity. The meter’s rangeability (ability to measure gas over a wide flow range within a specified
accuracy) provides the best over-all measurement accuracy on a “day-after-day” basis.

PSIG Corrected Capacity at Metering Pressure - MSCFH
To prevent oversizing of a meter, sizing should
125 9.5 9.5 9.5 28.4 28.4 28.4 47.3 66.2 104.1 be based upon the total connected load giving
150 11.2 11.2 11.2 33.5 33.5 33.5 55.8 78.1 122.8 consideration to the load diversity. When using this
method to size a meter, a selected diversity factor
175 12.9 12.9 12.9 38.6 38.6 38.6 64.3 90.0 141.4 times the total connected load will be used as
200 14.6 14.6 14.6 43.7 43.7 43.7 72.8 102 160.1 the Maximum Instantaneous Flow Rate for sizing
purposes.
250 18.0 18.0 18.0 53.9 53.9 53.9 89.8 126 197.4
A diversity factor of 0,85 is commonly used for
300 21.3 21.3 21.3 64.0 64.0 64.0 107 149 234.8 a single application where two or more major
350 24.7 24.7 74.2 74.2 124 173 272.1 appliances are in use (i,e, boilers, furnaces, space
heaters, etc,).
500 34.9 34.9 105 105 175 244 384.1
As the number of appliances considered when
600 41.7 41.7 125 125 209 292 458.8 determining a connected load increases, the
740 51.2 51.2 154 154 256 359 563.4 diversity factor will typically decrease. For
applications such as multiple ranges and water
800 55.3 166 276 387 608.2 heaters, some examples of commonly used
900 62.1 186 310 435 682.9 diversity factors are:
