DANIEL® SERIES 1200 LIQUID TURBINE FLOW METER

Daniel Series 1200 Liquid Turbine Flow Meters are designed specifically for load rack service where a vital characteristic is repeatability. The meter deploys a lightweight rotor which is supported on self-cleaning flow through ball bearings. As a result, the meter is versatile and is particularly suited to batch loading of light hydrocarbons. The meter has been used successfully on fluids with viscosities up to 6 centistokes. The meter can also be supplied with optional tungsten carbide bearings for more demanding applications

The meter features an upstream expanding hanger which centers the internals in the body, with cantilevered support of the rotor. The stainless steel ball bearings or the tungsten carbide bearings and the shaft are housed in the meter hub. The meter will operate in any plane, and is frequently used in the vertical orientation with flow upward to save space at a load rack.

The design includes an integral flow conditioning plate which allows operation without upstream flow straightening available on the 1.5”, 2”, 3” and 4” meters. This configuration is particularly valuable in vertical use at load racks.
