DAN-LIQ-Turbine Meter-TG-0807

August 2007

The deployment of this high resolution rotor in each of the sizes available gives a nominal K-factor twice that of the standard meter and allows for proving with a smaller size prover.

The rimmed design is available as an option on 3”-6” turbines, and is standard on 8” and larger.

Whatever the design of meter and rotor configuration, the blades are locked and welded into the desired angular position, forming a solid, one piece rotor.

In the Daniel Series 1500 Liquid Turbine Flow Meter both up and downstream shaft supports are deployed. The expanding hanger principle is used to ensure positive self-centering of the internals. The shape of the internal cones results in a reverse differential pressure that counterbalances the downstream thrust on the rotor, thus allowing the rotor to float on a fluid cushion. This floating action ensures long life and minimal maintenance. (See Figure 10)

Viscosity and Specific Gravity

Low specific gravities or high viscosities will reduce the flow range of the meter.
