® EZ-IN Series BF Turbine Flowmeter Manual...
Introduction ® The EZ-IN Series BF (between-flange) Turbine Flowmeter measures flowstream volume in flanged pipelines by transmitting electrical pulses to readout instruments. The flowmeter’s precision turbine has a speed directly proportional to the liquid velocity flowing through the meter. As the turbine rotates, the blades break magnetic lines of force set up by a pickup screwed into the meter body.
® EZ-IN Series BF Turbine Flowmeter Manual Installation Precautions ® The EZ-IN Series BF Turbine Flowmeter can be installed vertically or horizontally as long as the flow direction appearing on the meter body is the same as the direction of flow in the line. •...
Installation Procedure Install a straight section of pipe on either side of the meter. This pipe must be the same size as the meter with a length of at least 10 pipe diameters upstream and 5 pipe diameters downstream. For example, a 6-in.
® EZ-IN Series BF Turbine Flowmeter Manual Calibration ® The EZ-IN Series BF Turbine Flowmeter is precalibrated with water at the factory and tagged with the calibration factor in pulses/gal. For maximum accuracy with fluids other than water, calibrate the meter with the actual fluid being measured in the flowline.

® EZ-IN Series BF Turbine Flowmeter Manual Lift the meter between the pipeline flanges, using an installation handle if necessary (Fig. 2, Page 3). Remove one of the flowmeter bearing supports (Fig. 1, Page 2). × 1 in. through 1 × 1 in., remove the snap rings. —...
Reassembling the Meter Coat the OD of the bearing support with the grease provided in the kit to make subsequent disassembly easier. Caution—Do not lubricate the rotor shaft or bearing. Insert a bearing support in the meter body, making certain its flow arrow and the arrow on the meter are pointing in the same direction.

® EZ-IN Series BF Turbine Flowmeter Manual Return the meter to the line, using the body centering rings to align the meter properly with the interior diameter of the flanges. Carefully align the flange gaskets to help prevent gasket damage. Use the spreader nuts, if necessary, to provide room to lower the meter into the position between the flange gaskets.
