We succeed because we provide customers with innovative, reliable, safe, timely, and competitively priced products. -
Page 3: General Information
Each pulse is equal to a given volume of liquid; therefore “x” number of pulses are equal to a gallon, litre, pound, barrel, etc. Turbine Sizing FLOMEC G-Series Turbines are identified by the internal diameter of the inlet and outlet. Model 050 ½ in. -
Page 4: Installation
INSTALLATION Turbine flowmeters are affected by both upstream and downstream process configurations. Turbine flowmeters should always be installed with a minimum of 10 pipe diameters upstream and 5 pipe diameters downstream. The only exception is the placement of the pumps, valves, etc., on the upstream end. When this occurs, 20 diameters of straight pipe should be used. -
Page 5: Maintenance
When there is entrained air in the process line, an air eliminator should be used. This entrained air causes air pockets and these air pockets will cause the rotor to spin at a faster rate than liquid, thus resulting in in- correct readings, which results in an overstatement of actual flowrate and volume. - Page 6 This is important when installing the rotor and also denotes the direction in which the turbine flowmeter was calibrated. NOTE: FLOMEC rotors are tapered on one end (except ½" and ¾"). The tapered end should be installed on the inlet side (see Figure 1). The ½" and ¾"...

- Page 9 Magnetic Pickups FLOMEC offers two types of magnetic pickups: Standard and Wire Lead. (See Figure 3.) When choosing a magnetic pickup, the turbine meter and electronics are generally already known. Electronics can be either Local or Remote. Remote electronics include FLOMEC Remote Displays or output to customer-supplied equipment.

Page 12: Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING Locating the Problem To determine the location of the problem, whether it is occurring at the turbine flowmeter or at the electronic readout device, disconnect the cable assembly from the magnetic pickup and connect the cable from the portable rate indicator onto the magnetic pickup. - Page 13 Visually inspect the internals of the turbine flowmeter. Check for particulates and/or foreign objects, which may have lodged between the rotor and the body. In the event an object is detected, simply remove the retaining ring on the outlet side of the turbine flowmeter and remove the support and rotor assembly.
- Page 14 When frequency oscillator connected and an output is displayed on electronic readout device, this indicates that the turbine flowmeter cable assembly is defective and should be replaced. If no output is displayed, the turbine flowmeter cable assembly is good and the problem lies within the electronic readout device.
