Badger Meter offers the Blancett® family of turbine flow meters to measure
everything from water in hydraulic fracturing and mining operations, to
gases and liquids from wellheads to sanitary environments. Our turbine
meters deliver accurate, consistent, reliable and informative flow
measurements for both liquid and gas applications.
Blancett turbine meters are also cost-effective and easy to repair. Field
repair kits (not available for the B1500 meters) are also compatible with
turbine meter models of several manufacturers. Both complete meters and
repair kits receive a five-point NIST traceable calibration at the factory.
Additional calibrations are available to achieve a higher accuracy rating or
to custom-calibrate for a specific viscosity. The B1500 meters receive a
10-point NIST traceable calibration.
To complete your flow metering needs, Badger Meter provides a full line of
cost effective flow monitors to fit a variety of application constraints
including hazardous area locations, pulse and network communications
and a variety of mounting options. The flow monitors are designed to be
used with Blancett flow meters, but can be used with almost any flow meter
producing a low amplitude AC output.

Turbine Meters
Blancett® turbine flow meters are available in sizes from 1/4…10 inches (6.35…254 millimeters). The meters are
compatible with Blancett accessories and support various mounting styles.
With accuracies ranging from ±0.25…1 percent of reading, repeatability ranging from 0.02…0.1 percent and
stainless steel body construction, Blancett turbine meters provide precision measurements while being resistant
to most chemicals. These meters are used to measure a wide range of liquids, including water, process water,
chemicals and refined fuels.

Other Meters for Liquid Measurement
Because turbine meters are not suitable for every liquid application,
Badger Meter also offers other metering technologies. Two types of
adjacent liquid metering applications often associated with common
turbine-metering applications are measurement of higher-viscosity liquids
and liquids containing small particulates. Positive displacement (PD) and
impeller meter technologies are appropriate for these applications.
