This chapter is designed to take you through the installation process for the High Performance (HP) Turbine. The HP Turbine offers the widest operating range of any turbine meter on the market. To achieve optimum performance in actual service, it is essential that you follow these installation instructions.
When installing HP Turbine meters, always follow normal good piping practice. Specifically, all gaskets should be centrally located on the flanges with no overlap or interference with the pipe diameter. This is particularly important at the inlet connection to the meter where a gasket protruding into the flow stream will cause unpredictable velocity conditions.
BEFORE OPERATION Before putting the HP Turbine meter in service follow these steps: With outlet-side gate valve closed, SLOWLY open inlet-side valve to pressurize meter. SLOWLY open outlet-side gate valve until downstream line is pressurized.

Refer to meter installation instructions. The complete UME should be returned for service to Neptune. If the customer does not have a spare unit, a factory-calibrated exchange unit may be purchased from Neptune. Neptune encourages all customers to purchase either a spare UME complete or a UME exchange contract to enable them to avoid service interruptions.
