Configuration of the turbine meter
The Daniel factory configures the turbine meter internal components. Inspect the internal
components before installation.
4.3.1
Orientation and position of the turbine meter
Flow direction
Turbine meters can be used for uni-directional or bi-directional flows. The design of the
internal features of the meter housing and the internal components depend on the
desired configuration. Install the LTM carefully so it complies with the correct inlet and
outlet sides (See label on the turbine meter for inlet direction).
Flow conditioning
The flow stream must be free of swirl for a turbine meter to perform consistently and
accurately. The internal assembly supports of a turbine meter offer a slight straightening
effect. If additional flow conditioning is required, use straightening vanes or tube bundles.
Refer to API MPMS, Chapter 5, Section 3.
For turbine flow meters NPS 1 and 1.5 and less, straightening vanes are not normally used.
