Turbine Flow Meter

QuikSert®

DESCRIPTION

The QuikSert in-line turbine flow meter was developed for liquid applications where accuracy and dependability are needed. QuikSert’s stainless steel body incorporates a helical turbine with tungsten carbide shaft and bearing. 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 between-the-flange design eliminates the need for mating flanges, requiring less space in the flow line, lowering costs for easy, one-man 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 interfaces with most instruments, PLCs and computers.

FEATURES

• Accurate and repeatable flow measurement from 0.6…3 gpm (20…100 bpd) to 500…5000 gpm (17,000…171,000 bpd).

• Unique between-the-flange design eliminates need for mating flanges.

• Superior materials of construction for high performance in aggressive environments.

• Wafer-style mounting configurations for limited space requirements.

• Modified flow straighteners for enhanced fluid dynamics.

INSTALLATION

The QuikSert turbine meter is simple to install and service. The meter should be installed with the “flow direction” arrow aligned with the direction of the line flow. For optimum performance, the flow meter should be installed with a minimum of 10 diameters upstream straight pipe length and 5 diameters downstream straight pipe length.

REPAIR KITS

Factory calibrated repair kits are available for field service. A repair kit contains six screws, two rotor supports, one rotor assembly, and a K-factor tag. The rotor support assembly is retained in proper position within the meter body by the support screws. These screws allow for quick and easy disassembly and replacement of the meter’s internal components. QuikSert repair kits are designed and manufactured for use with Blancett turbines and other flow meters of similar design; contact the factory for further details.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Fluid entering the meter first passes through an inlet flow straightener that reduces its turbulent flow pattern. Fluid then passes through the turbine, causing the turbine to rotate at a speed proportional to fluid velocity. As each turbine blade passes through the magnetic field generated by the meter’s magnetic pickup, an AC voltage pulse is generated. These pulses provide an output frequency that is proportional to volumetric flow.

Signal

KFACTOR

The K-factor represents the number of output pulses transmitted per gallon of fluid passing through the turbine meter. Each turbine has a unique K-factor. However, turbine meters are not functionally consistent throughout the full flow range of the meter.

There are several forms of friction inherent in turbine meters that slow down the rotational movement of the turbine rotor. These frictional forces include: magnetic drag, created by electromagnetic force of pickup transducers; mechanical drag, due to bearing friction; and viscous drag, produced by flowing fluid. See charts below.

As flow increases, the frictional forces are minimized and the free-wheeling motion of the turbine rotor becomes more linear (proportional to flow). The K-factor becomes relatively constant and linear throughout the balance of the linear flow range. This is approximately a 10:1 turndown ratio from the maximum flow rate down to the minimum flow rate.
