Section 2 - Introduction 2.1 DESCRIPTION The HM is a volumetric turbine flowmeter. As liquid flows through the meter, it causes the rotor to spin. An external non-contact pick-up probe counts each passing vane of the rotor as it spins. Each revolution of the rotor equates to an exact volume of liquid. This digital signal may feed instrumentation such as controllers or digital indicators. The sealed probe and stainless construction meet the demands of damp or wet applications, and may be directly washed down during normal cleanup. Units are shipped pre-calibrated from the factory with a pulse per gallon value identified on the body. Section 3 - Installation 3.1 LOCATION The HM turbine series flowmeter provides accurate measuring results when installed in either a vertical or horizontal pipe section. Select a location where the meter body will be completely filled with product (see figure 3.2). There must be a rise of pipeline elevation from the outlet side of the meter. Avoid the presence of air, either bulk or entrained, from entering the product as it passes through the flow tube. In a vertical pipe section, install the meter body in the upward direction of flow. In a horizontal pipe section, install the meter body at the lowest possible point of the piping system. Be sure the arrow on the body of the meter points in the direction of flow. Install the meter with a minimum of 10 pipe diameters of straight tubing upstream and 5 pipe diameters of straight tubing downstream. Under normal conditions the meter should be installed in a positive pressure location. When installing the transducer in the meter body, hand tighten the transducer until it bottoms out. DO NOT USE A WRENCH, as you may damage the transducer. Secure the position of the transducer with the hex jam nut.

NOTE: If it becomes necessary to splice cable connections, be sure to properly solder or join wire connections. Loose connections have the ability to generate false counts.

Section 5 - Calibration The HM flowmeter signal probe detects motion from the rotor to provide a pulsed output. Due to slight changes in meter dimensions, the volume of liquid displaced by the rotor is not the same for every flowmeter. To account for these changes, each meter is flow tested at the factory. A specific numeric value is determined. This identifies the amount of pulses the meter will output per a fixed volume that passes through it. In the case of Anderson flow products a gallon is the volume. This value is labeled on the meter body as a “P/G” pulses per gallon, which is also know as a “K-Factor”. Pulsed output values are normally entered into digital converter as a divider value “K-Factor”, or as a multiplier value known as a “Scale Factor”. Either method converts the unscaled pulses of a flowmeter into the desired engineering unit of your choice, such as gallons, tenths of gallons, liters, etc.

6.3 ASSEMBLY Verify the rotor spins freely on the shaft prior to installation. Rotate parts until they fall into place. Match assembly pieces with the orientation shown. (Figure 6.2) DO NOT FORCE THE PIECES TOGETHER! Be sure the gasket between the meter housings is in the groove of the body connection area. Secure the housing clamp and reinstall in the process line.
