Blancett B1500 Specifications
Turbine Flow Meter
B1500
DESCRIPTION
Blancett B1500 turbine flow meters have exceptional mechanical
linearity, resulting in minimizing, or negating, temperature induced
viscosity influence. Meters come with national pipe thread (NPT)
or flange process fittings, sizes up to two inches and can be
ordered with a Blancett B3000 flow monitor for advanced
linearization and to accommodate the requirements of most
applications and flow ranges.
Features Benefits
Expanded
mechanical linearity
Helical rotor design
High-performance
ceramic ball bearings
6-bladed rotor
supports
Facility with NIST
traceable standards
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
As a fluid passes through the meter, the velocity of the fluid
provides rotational energy on the rotor blade assembly. The rotor
blades, passing through a magnetic field (produced by the pickoff),
generate pulses proportional to flow. Each pulse is transmitted to
the flow monitor, where the monitor calculates the flow relative to
received pulses and meter size.
APPLICATIONS
Blancett B1500 flow meters are the ideal solutions for standard
clean, filtered liquid flow applications in precision industrial
processes, found in the chemical/petrochemical, refining and
general industries.
Increased usable flow range with less
sensitivity to fluid temperature/viscosity
effects.
Exceptional speed-of-response, with
reduced pressure drop.
Ceramic bearings provide near-perfect
roundness, higher Rockwell hardness
and are lighter and more tolerant to
temperature than 440C stainless steel
bearings. They eliminate adhesive wear
and perform well in non-lubricating
liquids found in cryogenic fluids
and water.
Improved flow conditioning.
Third party audits to ensure calibration
uncertainty. Laboratory correlation to
verify that all calibrators produce the
same result.

CONSTRUCTION
Blancett B1500 flow meters feature 316 stainless steel housings.
Wetted materials include axial helical rotors, made of 17-4 stainless
steel, that rotate on ceramic ball bearings. The supports and all
other materials are made from 300 series stainless steel.
METER INSTALLATION
Blancett B1500 flow meters mount directly in the piping and
can be installed in any position without affecting performance.
For optimal performance, recalibrate the meter if the mounting
orientation is changed from the original horizontal calibration.
To reduce flow turbulence, install a minimum of 10 diameters in
length of straight piping upstream and a minimum of five pipe
diameters downstream. If this cannot be accommodated due to
space limitations, pay careful attention to the location of valves
and bends. To compensate for piping bends, meters can be
calibrated in the same piping configuration. For best performance
and longevity, upstream filtration (10…75 micron, depending on
meter size), is helpful to prevent bearing contamination and to
avoid rotor blade damage.
CALIBRATION
Meters come with a best-in-class 10-point calibration, traceable to
NIST standards, using calibration solvent.

OPTIONAL SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
As an added benefit, B1500 flow meters that are coupled to B3000 flow monitors provide an economical, robust flow metering solution,
with multiple local read and system integration options. Flow rates and totals are presented simultaneously via a crisp dot-matrix LCD
display and/or transmitted to a user interface via Modbus RTU, a 4…20 mA analog output or totalizing pulse output. Basic, advanced and
solar-powered configurations provide users with flexibility to meet the needs of most applications. Product configurations can be mounted
in multiple ways, further expanding product flexibility to create a complete flow metering solution.
