SERIES 1200 LIQUID TURBINE METER
P/N 3-9008-513
4.3
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 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.

Piping recommendations
Figure 4-3: Typical installation for a Series 1200 LTM
•
Note the direction of flow indicated on the plate near the inlet flange and install
accordingly.
•
New installations: Flush lines thoroughly to rid piping of potentially damaging foreign
material such as welding bead, pipe scale, etc. before the turbine meter is placed into
service.
