High accuracy Compact construction Light weight Flow range of ca. 1:30
The Turbo Meter is used in a wide range of fluid applications ranging from water to oils, solvents to acids. The meter has been used in water treatment systems, loading and unloading of tankers or rail cars, batching systems, or simple inventory control of a process fluid. Anywhere high volume and/or high flow rates are required in the application, the Turbo Meter is likely the right choice.
The Turbo Meter is a volumetric liquid flow meter which works on the time-proven principle of a rotor turning at an angular velocity proportional to the fluid velocity through the turbine. The meter has straightening vanes and a nose cone in the inlet side which minimize upstream turbulence and directs the flow to the rotor effectively. Electronic pickups generate signals from the rotor magnet. This is translated to 4–20 mA and/or open collector transistor pulse outputs. Mechanical pickups and electromechanic outputs are also available.
The Turbo Meter is a rugged and reliable meter. Its compact size and ease of service without removal from the line, coupled with a choice of materials, make this a cost effective selection. Designed with performance in mind, the meter provides a high level of accuracy over a wide flow range with a minimum of pressure loss. The turbine meter is available in line sizes of DN 50, DN 80, DN 100 and DN 150 with a choice of flange ratings and three different body materials including stainless steel. Its unique straight through flow profile and ceramic bearing design optimize performance. To complement the meter, Badger Meter offers a complete line of accessories that includes mechanic, pneumatic, electromechanic and state-of-the-art electronic transmitters, totalizers, indicators and process controllers.
