Introduction

INTRODUCTION

The QuikSert Standard turbine flow meter was developed for liquid applications where accuracy and dependability are of concern to the operator� The stainless steel body incorporates a helical turbine with tungsten carbide shaft and bearings� It provides an efficient, long service life and a cost-effective solution for your measurement requirements�

Simple in design and construction, QuikSert uses modified upstream and downstream flow straighteners for a high degree of flow accuracy� Its betweenthe-flange design eliminates the need for mating flanges, requiring less space in the flow line, lowering costs and providing easy, one-person installation�

The meter produces a sine wave signal proportional to its volumetric flow rate� With optional Blancett electronics, QuikSert provides local flow rate and volume totalization and can interface with most instruments, PLCs and computers�

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Fluid entering the meter passes through the inlet flow straightener which reduces its turbulent flow pattern and improves the fluid’s velocity profile� Fluid then passes through the turbine, causing it to rotate at a speed proportional to the fluid velocity� As each turbine blade passes through the magnetic field, the blade generates an AC voltage pulse in the pickup coil at the base of the magnetic pickup (see Figure 1)� These pulses produce an output frequency proportional to the volumetric flow through the meter� The output frequency represents flow rate and/or totalization of fluid passing through the turbine flow meter�

Installation

INSTALLATION

1� Check the ow meter internally for foreign material and make sure the turbine rotor

spins freely prior to installation�

2� Check uid lines and clear any debris�

3� Install the ow meter with the ow arrow, etched on the exterior of the meter body,

pointing in the direction of uid ow�

4� Install the meter horizontally with the pickup facing upward, where possible� The liquid

being measured should be free of any large particles that may obstruct rotation of the rotor�

5� Install a mesh strainer upstream before operation of the ow meter if particles are

present� See“Repair Kit Information” on page 10�

6� Install a bypass line (Figure 2) for meter inspection and repair without interrupting ow�

Install all control valves downstream of the ow meter, if a bypass line cannot be used (Figure 3 on page 6)�

PRESSURE IN EXCESS OF ALLOWABLE RATING MAY CAUSE THE HOUSING TO BURST AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

DAMAGE CAN BE CAUSED BY STRIKING AN EMPTY METER WITH A HIGH VELOCITY FLOW STREAM.

7� Install all restrictions in the ow line that may cause the liquid to ash, downstream of

the meter� If necessary, install air eliminators so the meter is not incorrectly measuring entrained air or gas�

8� Install a minimum length of ten pipe diameters of straight pipe on the upstream side

of the meter and ve diameters on the downstream side of the ow meter or meter accuracy may be aected� Piping should be the same size as the meter bore or threaded port size�

Do not install the flow meter or connection cable close to electric motors, transformers, sparking devices, high voltage lines, or place connecting cable in conduit with wires furnishing power for such devices� These devices can induce false signals in the flow meter coil or cable, causing the meter to read inaccurately�

Consult the "Troubleshooting Guide" on page 8 � If the internal components of the turbine flow meter are damaged beyond repair, order a turbine meter repair kit� Information pertaining to the turbine meter repair kits is referenced in "Repair Kit

Information" on page 10�

Operational Startup

OPERATIONAL STARTUP

Follow these steps when installing and starting the meter�

MAKE SURE THAT FLUID FLOW HAS BEEN SHUT OFF AND PRESSURE IN THE LINE RELEASED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL THE METER IN AN EXISTING SYSTEM.

1� Close the isolation valves and open the bypass valve after installing the meter�

2� Flow liquid through the bypass valve for sucient time to eliminate any air or gas in the

ow line�

HIGH VELOCITY AIR OR GAS MAY DAMAGE THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF THE METER.

3� Open the upstream isolating valve slowly to eliminate hydraulic shock while charging

the meter with the liquid�

4� Open the valve to full open�

5� Open the downstream isolating valve to permit meter to operate�

6� Close the bypass valve to a full closed position�

7� Adjust the downstream valve to provide the required ow rate through the meter�

OTE:N The downstream valve may be used as a control valve�

CALIBRATION

The meter and all attached electronics are calibrated on water at the factory and tagged with a K-factor (pulses per US Gallon)� For maximum accuracy, calibrate the meter with the actual fluid being measured� The QuikSert meter can be recalibrated by any conventional meter-proving processes used to calibrate standard meters�

Trouble Possible Cause Remedy

Meter indicates higher than actual flow rate

Meter indicates lower than actual flow rate

Erratic system indication, meter alone works well (remote monitor application only)

No flow indication

Full or partial open position

Erratic indication at low flow, good indication at high flow

No flow indication Faulty pickup Replace pickup System works perfect, except

indicates lower flow over entire range Meter indicating high flow, upstream

Opposite effects of above Viscosity lower

• Cavitation

• Debris on rotor support

• Build up of foreign material on meter bore

• Gas in liquid

• Debris on rotor

• Worn bearing

• Viscosity higher than calibrated

Ground loop in shielding Ground shield in one place

causes rotor to oscillate without turning

Fluid shock, full flow into dry meter or impact caused bearing separation or broken rotor shaft

Rotor has foreign material wrapped around it

Bypass flow, leak Repair or replace bypass valves,

than calibrated

• Increase back pressure

• Clean meter

• Install gas eliminator ahead of meter

• Clean meter and add filter

• Recalibrate monitor

only, look for internal electronic instrument ground� Reroute cables away from electrical noise

Isolate meter

Rebuild meter with repair kit and recalibrate monitor� Move to location where meter is full on startup or add downstream flow control valve

Clean meter and add filter

or faulty solenoid valves Change piping

Change temperature, change fluid or recalibrate meter
