Badger Meter Industrial Turbo Specifications
Industrial Turbine Meters
Turbo Model
DESCRIPTION
The Badger Meter® Industrial Turbine is a rugged, reliable meter
ideally suited for industrial fluid applications. Its compact size and
ease of serviceability without removal from the line make this a cost
effective selection. Designed with performance in mind, the meter
provides a high level of accuracy over a wide flow range with a
minimum of pressure loss.
The Turbine meter is available in line sizes of 2 in., 3 in., 4 in. and
6 in.. Its unique straight-through flow profile and ceramic bearing
design optimize performance.
To complement the meter, Badger Meter offers a complete
line of accessories that includes electromechanical and
state-of-the-art electronic transmitters, totalizers, indicators
and process controllers.
OPERATION
The Badger Meter Industrial Turbine is a volumetric liquid flow
meter that works on the time proven principle of a rotor turning at
an angular velocity proportional to the fluid velocity through the
turbine. The meter has straightening vanes and a nose cone in the
inlet side which minimize upstream turbulence and direct the flow
to the rotor effectively. Electronic pickups generate signals from the
rotor magnet. The signals are translated to an open
collector-transistor pulse output. Mechanical pickups and
electromechanical outputs are also available.
APPLICATIONS
The Turbo model is used in a wide range of fluid applications
covering from water to oils and solvents to acids. The meter is used
in water treatment systems, loading and unloading of tankers or
rail cars, batching systems, or simply inventory control of a process
fluid. Anywhere high volume and/or high flow rates are at least
sometimes required in the application, the Turbo meter is likely the
right choice.
