Introduction The EZ-IN Series Between-Flange Turbine Flowmeter measures ® flowstream volume in flanged pipelines by transmitting electrical pulses to readout instruments. The flowmeter’s precision turbine has a rotational velocity proportional to the linear velocity of the fluid flowing through the meter. As the turbine rotates, the blades break magnetic lines of force set up by a magnetic pickup screwed into the meter body.

EZ-IN Series Turbine Flowmeter Manual ® Installation Precautions The EZ-IN Series Between-Flange Turbine Flowmeter can be installed ® vertically or horizontally. In either orientation, the arrow on the meter body must point in the direction of flow in the line. •...
• If the end connection leaks at the time of installation, remove pressure- before attempting to tighten the seal. • The customer is responsible for ensuring chemical compatibility between the flowmeter and any fluids being metered. • The meter will attain the temperature of the fluid. Use caution when touching the meter body to avoid burns.
EZ-IN Series Turbine Flowmeter Manual ® the holes in the bottom half of the flanges (Figure 5, page 13). Install additional nuts inside the flanges, if needed, to separate the flanges while inserting the meter. (See “spreader” nuts in Figure 3, page 8.) Lower the meter between the flanges and align the bore with the flow- line.
EZ-IN Series Turbine Flowmeter Manual ® Maintenance and Repairs If flowmeter readings appear erratic, check the flowmeter for wear or debris. Under normal operation with non-abrasive fluids, flowmeters can provide years of service without repairs. If a flowmeter is exposed to abrasive fluids or long periods of over-range flow rates, an annual check is recommended.
Disassembling the Hex-Body Meter Assembly and disassembly procedures vary with the type of flowmeter installed. For instructions on repairing a round-body meter, see page 19. To disassemble a hex-body meter, follow the steps below. Remove the retaining ring from one end of the meter body. Remove the vane from the meter body.
EZ-IN Series Turbine Flowmeter Manual ® Reassembling the Hex-Body Meter • An arrow indicating direction of flow is cast or engraved on the meter body, rotor, and vanes. When the meter is assembled, all arrows must point in the direction that product will flow through the meter. •...

To reassemble a hex-body meter, follow the steps below: Insert a vane into the meter body, ensuring that the flow arrow is point- ing in the direction of flow and the marked blade is positioned at the bottom of the bore (Figure 6, page 18). The vane should fit snugly but should not require excessive force to install.

EZ-IN Series Turbine Flowmeter Manual ® 1. Insert the vanes so that the arrow on the blade points in the direction of flow. 2. Make sure that the blade with the arrow marking is positioned in the notch closest to the bottom of the meter bore. Figure 6—Positioning of vanes...
Disassembling the Round-Body Meter Assembly and disassembly procedures vary with the type of flowmeter installed. For instructions on repairing a hex-body meter, see page 15. To disassemble a round-body meter, follow the steps below: Remove the three socket-head capscrews from one end of the meter using a standard Allen wrench.
EZ-IN Series Turbine Flowmeter Manual ® Remove the three socket-head capscrews from the other end of the me- ter body. Remove the second bearing support, rotating it if necessary. Examine the carbide bearing and rotor shaft. If either part is worn or damaged, replace all internals with a repair kit (page 28).
Page 21
To reassemble a round-body meter, follow the steps below: Insert a bearing support in the meter body, ensuring that the flow arrow is pointing in the direction of flow and the punch marks on the support and meter body are aligned (Figure 7, page 22). Install the three socket-head capscrews to secure the bearing support, and tighten them with a standard Allen wrench.

EZ-IN Series Turbine Flowmeter Manual ® Insert each bearing support such that the punch mark aligns with the punch mark on the face of the flowmeter. Figure 7—Positioning of bearing supports...
Returning the Meter to the Pipeline Return the meter to the line, using the body centering rings (Figure 3, page 8) to align the meter with the inside diameter of the flanges. Care- fully align the flange gaskets with the flanges to help prevent gasket damage.
