The QuikSert™ turbine flow meter is designed with wear resis- tant moving parts to provide trouble free operation and long ser- vice life. The Quiksert™ Meter Repair Kit is designed for easy field service of a damaged flow meter, rather than replacing the entire flow meter (see Appendix C for repair kit information).
SPECIFICATIONS Temperature: -150 ºF to 350 ºF (-101 ºC to 177 ºC) Not to be used on temperatures below the freezing point of the liquid Accuracy: 1% of reading Repeatability: 0.1% Pressure: Varies based on class of ANSI flanges used for mounting. See table below Note: Pressure in excess of allowable rating may cause the housing to burst and cause serious personal injury.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Before installation, the flow meter should be checked internally for foreign material and to be sure that the rotor spins freely. Fluid lines should also be cleared of all debris. The flow meter must be installed with the flow indication arrow, etched on the exterior of the meter body, pointing in the correct direction of flow.

The preferred plumbing setup is one containing a by-pass line (Fig. 3) that allows meter inspection and repair without interrupt- ing flow. If a by-pass line is not utilized, it is important that all control valves be located down-stream of the flow meter (Fig. 4). Caution: Damage can be caused by striking an empty me- ter with high velocity flow stream.
